After a protest turns violent, Ronan finds himself stripped of authority as the National Guard takes control. When they’re detained together inside the makeshift holding area, he meets Nia. One night of forced proximity allows them to grow closer as they share memories of the South, its beauty, and brutality.

When Truth Leaves her Broken, Will she Find the Strength to Stand?
Denise Carson has spent her life surviving—childhood betrayal, weaponized faith, and the quiet belief that love always comes with conditions.
Now grounded in her faith and ready for partnership without losing herself, Denise believes she’s finally found stability with Drew Kennedy—a man who seems steady, certain, and safe. For the first time, marriage feels possible.
But when buried truths surface and deception cracks the foundation of her relationship, Denise is forced to confront a painful reality: what happens when love is built on something you were never given the chance to choose?
As past trauma collides with present betrayal, one irreversible moment sends her life spiraling toward consequences she never imagined. And through it all, one man refuses to silence her voice or claim her vulnerability as weakness. C.J. has loved Denise long enough to know that real protection doesn’t control—it tells the truth and stays.
Now Denise must decide whether she will retreat into survival… or step fully into freedom.
Because healing isn’t pretending you’re fine.
It’s learning how to live honest, whole, and unafraid while you’re broken and still standing.
Cuddle Bear (Gullah Geechee Love Stories) by S.R. Graham
Bear Pressley was seventeen when he went to prison for killing a cop. He was twenty-seven when he learned how to hold a woman.
Ten years behind bars taught Bear how to survive—how to shut off his emotions, how to wait for revenge, how to plan for the day he’d settle the score with the best friend who betrayed him.
What prison didn’t teach him was how to love.
Fresh out and desperate for money, Bear agrees to an unusual job: filling in for a professional cuddler at a Galentine’s Day event for single women. The rules are simple—no sex, no emotions, no complications.
Then he meets Kenyatta, an event planner, single mother, and the first woman to look at Bear like he’s more than his worst mistake. Kenyatta sees something dangerous and tender in him. When Bear asks her to teach him how to do the job—how to touch, comfort, and connect—lines blur fast.
But Kenyatta has a past of her own.
She’s the ex of D’Angelo—the man who set Bear up, stole his freedom, and ruined his life. And the child Bear has grown to love? She belongs to his enemy.
Now Bear must choose: revenge on the man who took everything from him… or the family he never thought he’d deserve. This Valentine’s Day, love isn’t safe. But it might be worth the risk.

Snoh by Nina M.
The holidays were supposed to be simple this year:
work, parenting, and maybe a glass of wine or two by the fireplace.
But nothing about my life ever stays simple.
Especially not when he walks into my office with that smug grin,
and a plan that sounds just as ridiculous as he is most days.
Pretend to be his girlfriend to land a client?
In what world does that make sense?
Still, between the twinkling city lights, late-night strategy sessions,
and way too many fake kisses that feel a little too real...
I start to wonder if I’ve made a huge mistake,
or stumbled into something worth believing in.
Because somewhere between business meetings and
holiday magic, pretending starts to feel a lot like falling.

Every Choice But Us by Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi
In the race of life, everyone faces their unique obstacles, and Fola Ige has had her fair share— right from birth.
First, there is the backdrop of her bickering, woefully mismatched parents—her stoic medical doctor father and permanently dissatisfied stay-at-home mother. Then there is the ‘reality’ of how their life falls short of the luxury and splendour that her mother expects not just for herself, but for Fola and her three siblings.
But no obstacle is as complicated and punishing as having Dolapo “Dolly” as a sister. Prettier, poutier, and petty, not to mention messy as hell, Dolly being a year older is the bane of her existence and the albatross of Fola’s life, especially when it comes to Jimi Fajobi.
For the next twenty years, through failed marriages, affairs, scandals, and across continents, the unholy love triangle between Fola, Dolly, and Jimi will be the fodder for a rollercoaster none of them ever bargained for or expected.
Every Choice But Us is a rom-com examination of deep themes like betrayal, lust, fragmented families, sibling rivalry, materialism, pride, and mental illness. It is a bittersweet yet familiar and well-conceived story about a golden age in Nigerian contemporary culture and the casualties and triumphs of the time period, masterfully told by Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi.
