Vibrant and soulful love stories featuring African-American heroes and heroines in compelling emotional conflicts.
Natalie Hart has sworn off love and basketball. All sports, for that matter.
Her pro athlete husband cheated on her-and she's not sure she'll ever be ready to give her heart again. Now single and working at a children's charity, it's not just event planning that has her putting in overtime. Local football celebrity Michael Jones is organizing a gala affair with Natalie. And the sexy jock has made it crystal clear he'd like to kick off with seduction. But can Natalie let down her guard and fall for another professional athlete?
Michael Jones is used to women falling at his multi-million dollar, cleat-covered feet. But Natalie is giving him a run for his money. With the vulnerable beauty arousing his fiercest, protective instinct-and a desire neither has the power to resist-Michael is ready to let his playboy past go. If Natalie's willing, together they can surrender to their future.
Body, heart, and soul. Three Harts. Three Loves. The Reunion of a Lifetime.
Book 3
Though there was no need for him to continue touching her, he didn't remove his hand.
Deanna stared up at him, feeling her internal temperature rise. And then he did something she didn't expect. He lowered his hand to her waist, then put his other hand on the other side of her waist. Deanna didn't need the jacket to keep warm. Not at all . . . "I never forgot about you," Eric said in a low, throaty voice.
Dusk had turned to dark since they'd arrived for dinner, and the streetlights provided the only illumination as they stood on the sidewalk. But Deanna wouldn't have needed that to see the heat swirling in Eric's eyes. "I . . ." She didn't know what to say. This moment was surreal. Certainly one she'd never expected to experience. Not after she had run from Cleveland and left everyone and everything here in the rearview mirror.
"But truly," Eric went on, "this is what I thought about. Wondered about. Wished I'd gotten the chance to do." "Hmm?" Deanna asked, not understanding. But a moment later, Eric's comment became crystal clear when he placed a finger beneath her chin, tilted her head upward to his, brought his mouth down onto hers, and kissed her.
Book 4

But now change is in the air in the form of a sexy, smoking-hot man. Police detective Marshall Jennings is hardly a stranger - Tamara has known him since college, and now his best friend is married to her best friend, Callie Hart. Marshall's athletic build, flirty ways and persistent pursuit soon have Tamara second-guessing her strategy.
Just one little fling, she thinks. No strings, he thinks. But they both thought wrong. Passion quickly cascades into something more - a wave of emotions that may sweep them into everlasting love....
