Although his mother had abandoned him and his sister as kids to be raised by their grandmother, he was determined to have the family that she never provided. He married and started a family with his high school sweetheart and they were happy, or so he thought. Landon’s wife, Malia, loved her husband and kids, but she loved herself more. She’d been a wife and mother for most of her young life and she began to feel like something was missing. After deciding to leave her two sons in the care of their father, Malia set out to find her own happiness. Faryn had a childhood that most girls her age couldn’t endure. Her drug addicted mother left her and her siblings to fend for themselves and that’s exactly what they did. Faryn wasn’t proud of some of the things she had to do, but it was necessary in order to survive. After putting herself through college, she settled into a comfortable, yet predictable routine. When a chance encounter allows Faryn and Landon to cross paths, their chemistry was undeniable. A friendship turned romance soon blossomed between the two and the possibilities were endless. Unfortunately, not everyone was thrilled about their newfound union. Foes, old and new, decided that they were better off apart. When inside and outside forces threaten to divide what they’d just put into place, will Landon and Faryn manage to come out on top? Will they overcome the many obstacles that are thrown their way or will they give up on love and each other altogether? These questions and more will be answered in I Don't Want You Back, a full length standalone.

    

    

    

    He doesn’t use me, hurt me, or forget about me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees me. I can feel his eyes on me over the breakfast table, and my heart pumps so hard when I hear him pull in the driveway after work. I have to stop this. It can’t happen. My sister once told me there are no good men, and if you find one, he’s probably unavailable. Only Pike Lawson isn’t the unavailable one. I am. PIKEI took her in, because I thought I was helping. As the days go by, though, it’s becoming anything but easy. I have to stop my mind from drifting to her and stop holding my breath every time I bump into her in the house. I can’t touch her, and I shouldn’t want to. But we’re not free to give into this. She’s nineteen, and I’m thirty-eight. And her boyfriend’s father. Unfortunately, they both just moved into my house.

    I was too young and dumb to realize good men didn't come around every day. At twenty-one, I gave King away thinking we needed to mature, sow our wild oats, find our passion, and all the other silly mess that I currently regret.He married someone else, but if she ever messed up, I was going to be there because he was still the man that was everything I ever wanted but didn't know I needed. One day, I hoped King would be mine again.Two years, I was still broken up about it. But, two years was all it took for her to do the unforgivable. That was all I needed. I was going to make him mine again.

     Twelve years ago, when she and best guy friend, Amir Jones, were teenagers, Amir suggested they be more than just friends. Loving their friendship just as it was and fearing he’d continue to want more for them, she panicked and hooked him up with her best girlfriend, Sheena Rincon.  Matchmaking proved not to be Melodee’s forte. Amir and Sheena’s relationship wasn’t the best for the two years they were together and their courtship ended horribly right before their high school graduation. It’s over a decade later and Amir’s feelings for Melodee have only gotten stronger. He’s a major recording artist now and is traveling the world on tour with one of Hip Hop’s biggest artists, signing multi-million-dollar endorsement deals, receiving nominations for a multitude of awards, and is lusted after by many women in several area codes – local and international. But like LL, Amir needs love and the only person he wants it from is Melodee. And here enters the obvious problem… there’s an unspoken rule in a sisterhood that states a friend should never date another friend’s ex. Especially if that ex is that friend’s first love.  Besides, Sheena might never approve of Melodee and Amir’s potential relationship anyway all because of a decision Amir pressured her into making as a teenager that’s affecting her life as an adult. So now Melodee must decide what is more important to her, love or loyalty. And the decision won’t be an easy one to make. *This story contains sexually explicit content that is intended for ADULTS ONLY (18 years or older).

    I knew he was going to think I sounded crazy. I knew he was going to think I was crazy. But I’d nervously fretted about my feelings for him for years.
