NIGHT AND DAY
Are they just two people on the rebound seeking comfort in each other’s arms?

When Tamika Jones arrives at the apartment on Hargrove Street, she expects to find her boyfriend, the money he stole, and the woman he cheated on her with. Instead, she finds Anton Bevins, a young attorney, who’s good-looking, bewildered by her appearance, and also a victim. The two end up in a sexy, fun-loving relationship that takes them both by surprise, but is it really love?

WHAT SHE DESERVES
Fiery passion wages a war between two destined hearts.

Layla Fleming may miss the toe-curling nights between the sheets with Rashad Greene, but it took a long time for her heart to heal. So when she sees the cocky playboy years later, she ignores his advances and moves on. With the first glimpse, Rashad knows he must have Layla back in his bed, but he still holds a dark secret and worries the chemistry between them will fizzle if she knows the truth.

THE FRIEND ZONE
Their friendship is strong. Their attraction is stronger.

For years, English professor Dana Lindstrom has been crushing on her friend, ex-NFL football player Omar Bradford. When another man sparks her interest, she embarks on a new relationship to help her get over those feelings. When Dana’s new love interest stirs intense jealousy, Omar will risk their friendship to show her once and for all he’s the only man she’ll ever need.

an excerpt

She started moving again, walking faster this time to escape him and this conversation she didn’t want to have. His long legs easily kept stride with hers, exerting little effort, as if he were out for a leisurely stroll.

“You sound like you don’t believe me,” Rashad said.

“That’s because I don’t. You’re only interested in one thing.”

“How exactly did you come to that conclusion?”

Layla side-eyed him. “Past experience is the best indicator of future performance.”

Rashad grabbed her arm, and the warmth of his fingers seared her skin through the lightweight jacket. She wanted to yank away, but couldn’t. He was touching her again, like last night. The memory of his fingers around her wrist was as vivid as the fingers wrapped around her arm right now.

“And you don’t miss it?” he asked.

“Miss what?”

Rashad backed her against the brick wall of a building, uncaring they were in the middle of the street with the occasional pedestrian walking by.

Eyes boring into hers, his voice dropped. “You know what.”

Layla’s belly quivered, denial burning on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t speak the lie. Of course she missed it, them. The way they used to be together.

Rashad’s lovemaking skills were unmatched, and they used to damn near burn up the bed when they made love. She could never get enough of him, and whenever they went too long without seeing each other, she ached until she could see him, touch him, press her body against his.

Instead of answering, she tilted her chin higher. “Is that why you came here? To see if I missed it?”

“I came here to see you, but I am curious about that part.” His nostrils flared for a split second before he shook his head and let out a deep breath. “Sh*t. Let’s try again. Contrary to what you believe, I do care. So tell me, how have you been, Layla?”

She dropped her gaze and had a sudden urge to burst into tears. She shook off his hand. How could such a simple question make her feel so weepy? How could he so easily break down her tough girl act and make her feel vulnerable and helpless with a few words of interest?

“Fine,” she replied. She lifted her gaze again, and he continued to stare at her with concern in his eyes.

“And your family?”

“Fine. How about you?”

“Been better. Miss my friend. Miss my lover.”

“Don’t.”

“Why?”

“Because…”

He waited.

“Because a clean break is what I wanted.”

“I know, and you got that clean break, right? You lied and pretended you were moving to D.C.”

Layla opened her mouth to deny the accusation, but he briefly lifted a finger to quiet her.

“Don’t deny it. We both know it’s true.”

She fell silent and gazed at a couple across the street. The man had his arm around the woman, and they were laughing as they walked and talked. They looked so happy. That used to be her and Rashad, before he asked to downgrade their relationship.

“I understand why you did it. Because we were intense, and if we kept in touch, you’d give in to me again.”

“You’re overestimating your appeal.”

“That’s not what the little pulse right here says.” He lifted a finger to her neck, and she slapped away his hand.

“You have a very high opinion of yourself.”

“But am I right?”

With a heated glower, she refused to admit her weakness for him. “Believe it or not, you can’t get everything you want, Rashad.”

He tilted his head to the side. “Since when?” Raw arrogance took over his body, and the mocking light in his eyes set her teeth on edge. As far as he was concerned, nothing was beyond his reach if he worked hard enough.

“Since now.”
