Lethal Love: Deceit can be Deadly
Perri Forrest - 2020
But I blame me...Because I'm usually better about who's in my space,knowing that those in relationships, sometimes wear more than a single face.They wanted to tap dance on someone’s heart.They probably should’ve thought long and hard about that part.So now because of what was done…it’s only fair that I have me some fun.I guess now they need to be shown the error of their ways.To the point that they’re asking to see better days.Cue the deep sigh…Now, in the middle of my storm, something new fell in my path.Something beautiful, something amazing... he came with a taste of something I've never had.There’s absolutely no rushing, to the beat of love, present in my view…But once my mission is complete, who knows what my heart will want to do?The only disclaimer I’ll offer is this…“You'll either love me or hate me by the end of this tale, but I operated off of one goal, only ... that was to prevail.”Signed,Nova Skai Levine

Book Description: “Look, Amara… I see what you’re trying to accomplish, I do. And, maybe I respect it in some way. I won’t sit here and pretend to be a better man than I am. I really, really… really want to take the deal. I’ve spent more money on things so ridiculous I’m embarrassed to admit them.” “I sense there’s a ‘but’ coming.” “But… there’s no amount of money that will keep you from falling in love with me.” Amara Riley works for her crush and personal hero, Grayson Davis, a 30's Zuckerberg type CEO of an internet startup called Webster, the story world's equivalent of Facebook.

It seemed like a modern-day win/win, but neither anticipates the emotional challenges their contract will bring.

When he sees the disheveled, lovely Jada on TV, peeking out her door in horror at the reporters swarming over her lawn, he’s confident she’s not behind the scam. He’ll have to meet her to be certain.

The Breakup Plan (drew + avery. Book 1)
Tia Kelly - 2018
Which is why when I sat down nine years ago and put pen to paper, mapping out a ten-year plan, I meant business. Everything that could set me up for a lifetime of joy had to go down on the list, and every day, I worked my ass off to fulfill it. Open my own sports agency. Check. Earn first million by my thirtieth birthday. I did that a week before I turned twenty-six. Negotiate the most lucrative contract in Major League history. Did that, too. Then went and broke my own record. (Thanks, big bro!) I could go on, but this isn’t about bragging. It’s me admitting that in the midst of drafting something that helps shape and mold much of my success, I still made a costly mistake. One day I realized all those entries with corresponding checkmarks are pointless if I don’t factor into the equation the most important goal of all. Avery. Perhaps way back then I wasn’t ready to see how much my best friend of fifteen years deserved that number one spot in my life. Maybe I was blind, since the whole “settle down and get married” scenario wasn’t my thing. But now that I’m aware of the role I need her to fill in my life, there’s no such thing as letting go until I can convince her to be mine. Her being about to marry someone else does make winning her heart a little bit dicey. But if there’s anything you should know about me, it’s that I always play to win. And losing Avery is nonnegotiable. The Breakup Plan A Best Friends to Enemies Romance
