ABOUT THE BOOK:
Tiana:
Falling for an enemy is taboo. Falling for a guy who stands for everything you and three generations before you have fought against? Unthinkable.
But the day Gunner Cox saved me from a fire was the day my heart no longer belonged to me. It belongs to the damaged and broken boy being dragged down by a monster who shares his DNA.
Gunner:
Race. Hate. War. It’s all I know. Until Tiana Williams enters my life and my heart.
Now, I’m done riding the fence between good and evil. I will fight my demons, and I will get the girl. Even if it kills me.

Lee joins Women On Words to talk about her new workshop: Self-Discipline to Level Up Your Life!
You're out of control!
In truth, you’re perhaps better off being a bit out of control, at least where the little things are concerned. This statement may sound counter-intuitive when you’re trying to build self-discipline. After all, shouldn’t that be what you’re doing, controlling every aspect of your life?
Unless you’re a control freak, that’s only going to drive you crazy. And truth be told, most control freaks are not happy individuals deep down where it counts. Happy, self-disciplined people know when and how to let go. Having self-discipline means controlling only the things that matter and letting go of the things that don’t.
When a Nigerian woman falls for a man she knows will break her mother's heart, she must choose between love and her family.
At 12 years old, Azere promised her dying father she would marry a Nigerian man and preserve her culture, even after immigrating to Canada. Her mother has been vigilant about helping - well forcing - her to stay within the Nigerian dating pool ever since. But when another match-made-by-mom goes wrong, Azere ends up at a bar, enjoying the company and later sharing the bed of Rafael Castellano, a man who is tall, handsome, and...White.
When their one-night stand unexpectedly evolves into something serious, Azere is caught between her feelings for Rafael and the compulsive need to please her mother. Soon, Azere can't help wondering if loving Rafael makes her any less of a Nigerian. Can she be with him without compromising her identity? The answer will either cause Azere to be audacious and fight for her happiness or continue as the compliant daughter.

She's a singer posing as a maid. He's a surgeon forced to serve the Reich. For both of them, deception is the only way to survive the war.

When she's caught in a roundup, a man with ocean-blue eyes saves her from being sent to the camps. But can she really trust him? He might seem kind and handsome, but he's also a Nazi.
Surgeon, Emil von Konig, was duped into serving the Reich by his deceitful father. When he encounters Victoire, he knows he needs to keep her safe. He offers refuge at his estate in the Parisian countryside, but in order to stay undetected, she must pose as his maid.

While war rages on around them, Emil and Victoire believe they are safe. But danger is closer than ever. When the true nature of their relationship is discovered, everything will be at risk.
About this book:
Lucien Gramble
I want out. Plain and simple. This life isn't the same anymore, especially now that Angel is gone. However, leaving isn't an option. Even if the Church would let me go, I'd still have my brother. Seth is a virus. One that I take partial credit for creating. I had resigned to my burden of watching over him... until I found her again.
Malia Parks
I'm done with relationships. I gave up on them the day my divorce was final. My new goals consist of taking care of my daughter, keeping my Grams off my back, and running my business. Then he appears, bringing along a ghost from my past. Lucien is everything a girl could ask for, but Seth is everything I didn't know I needed.
Seth Gramble
I want it all. My brother thinks I don't know what he's trying to do. I know everything. I also know he isn't man enough to do it. He wants a happy family, but he can't protect them. Not like I can, especially now that she's in danger. He needs me, and I need her. They say I can't have her. I'll prove them wrong.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
This is a slow-burn romance about two broken people with one goal—to survive.
Yoshiro escaped a career of crime with the mafia after they killed his family. For five years, he’s dropped out of life. All he wants this Christmas is to be left alone. Then, Ebony and her kids accidentally crash onto his property during a snowstorm. For three years, they’ve been running from her husband—who’s been more monster than man.
The storm picks up. They are forced to remain with Yoshiro until it dies down. And the threat of Ebony’s monster remains, lurking within the shadows and threatening her safety. But Yoshiro knows all about death and blood. Her monster doesn’t scare him. What has him terrified is that heartwarming feeling sparking between them. The more time Yoshiro spends with Ebony, the more she becomes a Christmas present that he’s dying to open. Too bad, she’s promised herself that she will never let another man in her or her children’s life again.
Yet, sometimes the best Christmas presents come from a bullet. Every so often a good Christmas miracle is a cut-up body to end a nightmare. And even better, at just the right moment two lonely people can find light in their darkened souls and open their hearts to a new romance.

Welcome to Women On Words, Season 2, Episode #2
Go Deep by Rilzy Adams is the October Book Club selection:
ABOUT THE BOOK:
It was all supposed to be so simple.
Navaya Howard is an erotic writer in a rut. Her readers are fed up of her stale plots and Navaya can’t blame them. She’s been celibate for over a year and a half since finding her now ex-boyfriend’s side chick’s positive pregnancy test on her bathroom counter. How can she write steamy romances if she can barely remember which body parts go into the other?
Navaya enlists the help of her best friend, Xander, to revive the inspiration that used to have her sitting comfortably at the top of her game. What happens when the sex hits deeper than either of them expected and the tender emotions can no longer be denied?
Navaya and Xander’s arrangement has gone far deeper than intended.
Will their friendship and their hearts survive the fall?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and three children. American Street is her first novel.
About Pride:
In a timely update of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, National Book Award finalist Ibi Zoboi skillfully balances cultural identity, class, and gentrification against the heady magic of first love in her vibrant reimagining of this beloved classic. A smart, funny, gorgeous retelling starring all characters of color.
Zuri Benitez has pride. Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable.
When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. She especially can’t stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding.
But with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick’s changing landscape, or lose it all.

HE OWNS MY DEBT BUT HE WON'T TAKE MY MONEY. ALL HE WANTS IS ME.
Gaius Serrano is a mysterious figure in the world of wine. He’s arrogant. Darkly handsome.
And—my instinct warns me—dangerous. He’s the last person I want owning my family’s debt.
Since my parents died, I’ve been responsible for my sibling's future and fortunes in the form of our family’s business. I’ll pay any price to get it back.
But he doesn’t want my money. He wants to master my pleasure. One night for one share of the business. If I give myself to him, I can earn my business back piece by piece.
I have no choice. I have to take the deal. I fall into his arms, into his bed. Into a world of passion that threatens to consume us both.
Because Gaius doesn’t want mere pieces of me. He wants all of me.
He’ll bring me to the edge over and over again until he breaks me.
Until he makes me his.

ABOUT THE BOOK https://amzn.to/2Fgab1O
As a member of the Elite, I live by simple tenets. A gentleman above all. Private matters stay private. Secrets whispered are never revealed. Enemies and friends are of the same coin. And power is king.
My so-called brothers killed my friend. I intend to make them pay. And before it's over, I'll bend all the rules of morality, decency and legality. I will borrow and steal to set the scales right. But begging--begging, you can forget about.
My name is Ben Covington and I know my sins.
She was never supposed to cross my path.
She was never supposed to know about the secret society.
But like a thief in the night, she stole my soul even if she wasn't mine to possess.
*This is only the beginning of the story of how a woman I met in a closet turned me into a thief. It takes time for the perfect heist. Join me and the London Lords in the continuation of the story in The Benefactor!

ABOUT THE BOOK:
My grandparents had a beach house tucked in a cove on the shore, and I spent every summer until college there. Some of my best childhood memories were from my time at Heathrow Beach. Mostly because I was head over heels in love with my neighbor Lee Thompson.
He was adventurous.
He was brave.
He was twelve.
But my eleven-year-old heart knew he’d be the one I’d end up marrying.
Lee was my first kiss, my first love, my first everything.
But the summer before my senior year in high school, Lee never showed up. In fact, I didn’t hear from him again.
Almost twenty years later, I found myself back at Heathrow Beach looking for answers.
And finding more than I bargained for.
Annabelle and Lee is a contemporary romance inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem Annabel Lee

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Hawk: The Church Series
Kilian “Hawk” Walker
It started with a menu. I thought I cleaned my plate. Now that job is coming back to haunt me. I thought I left the Church behind, but Albany is dead, and I’m being sucked back in. The clock is ticking, and I have Brooklyn to worry about. I won’t fail her like I did her sister. This time the cost is greater as I introduce myself to a stranger that I know so well.
Brooklyn Creedmoore
I can’t believe it’s real. My sister is gone. I can hardly breathe. Albany and I have always been close. We told each other everything. No one knew my sister better than me. At least I thought that was true until he came into my life. Now everything is upside down, and I’m learning I didn’t know my sister at all. However, somehow I feel like I know this stranger that I’m stuck to in order to save my life.
Who was Albany? Can I still trust my sister? Would she leave me in the path of this sexy, crazy, lethal stranger without a good reason? I have more questions than answers, but I’m going to go with my gut and follow this Hawk. It just might save my life.

There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.
Marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he’ll be working with his brother’s whip-smart, stunning—absolutely off-limits—ex-fiancée. And she loathes him.

So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.
Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Back Cover:
Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?
Enjoy a drunken night out.Ride a motorcycle.Go camping.Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.And... do something bad.
But it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.
Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.
But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…
Jayce Ellis's JEREMIAH for Carina Press
Jeremiah Stewart’s sexuality is no one’s business. Not that he’s hiding it. When—if—he finds the right one, he’ll absolutely introduce him to Mom. But a late-night brush with a sexy stranger in too much lip gloss has him rethinking nearly everything…
To Collin Galloway, direction is a four-letter word. Sure, he hates his job, he hates living with his parents and he really hates watching everyone move on without him. But he doesn’t know what he wants to do, long-term, and he won’t figure it out by thirsting over Jeremiah, the superhot, superintense paramedic who is suddenly everywhere Collin looks.
When Jeremiah’s faced with losing all he’s worked so hard to build, he reluctantly accepts Collin’s help. They’re both determined to stay professional…which works about as well as either would imagine. But Collin only does closets with clothes, and Jeremiah has to decide if he’s finally found the one worth bringing home to Mom.
In this dramatic comedy, Parks and Recreation and Good Girls star Retta brings humor and strength to her role as the unforgettable Tinaca Jones.
What’s in a name? A lot. The name Tinaca, for example, has been passed down in the Jones family for generations of women. In fact, the Joneses name a Tinaca every other generation, to let the name breathe a little. To let each Tinaca shine. And shine is exactly what Tinaca Jones intends to do.
The back cover of STILL STANDING: Stories of Love Over Cancer — Cancer is described as a group or set of abnormal cells that invade the body. There are more than 100 different types and the treatment can be more deadly than the disease. But we are survivors.
