Dali demolished my pu**y. The only thing he hadn’t been able to demolish were the fears that guarded my heart… but he was a fighter, even if he’d retired… and I knew he wouldn’t stop until he conquered me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Fallyn Mitchell’s perfect life begins to unravel at the seams piece by piece. As life shows her not everything is within her control, she finds solace in her best friend, Stax. For the last ten years, Stax has been the one constant in Fallyn’s life that has been unchanging. When he finally meets the perfect woman for him romantically, Fallyn’s feelings for him start to come to the surface, and she has to choose between keeping her friendship intact or risking it for a romantic relationship that Stax may not even want. Stax Tate gets everything he wants and needs from a woman in his best friend… except sex. Most women expect more than what he’s willing to give, so when he meets Paige, Stax believes he’s finally met his match. The joy Stax thought would come with having the perfect woman is buried under his true feelings for his best friend. No matter how much Stax tells himself he doesn’t deserve a woman like Fallyn, that doesn’t keep his heart and body from craving her. Stax and Fallyn are alike where it counts and different where it matters most. Two things they have in common are their fear of rejection and belief that the other doesn’t return their romantic feelings. Will one of them find the courage to speak up, or will Stax’s relationship with Paige lead to a permanent engagement that will keep the best friends from experiencing love forever?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>They should have remained broken up, but finding out Sabrina was pregnant forced them to try again. For the sake of their baby, Sabrina and Nick agreed to move to Dallas and work on their relationship. Nine months after the birth of their daughter, Sabrina is a single mother… even though she lives with the father of her child. In need of a break, she returns home to Memphis for a weekend that will change her life forever. Alonso swore, if he ever had the chance to reconnect with Sabrina, he would make the most of it. The high school sweethearts broke up in college, and Alonso has compared every woman he’s been with to the one that got away. When Sabrina returns to Memphis for the weekend, Alonso decides to do everything he can to make her his—even if temporarily. Sabrina’s in need of love, companionship, and validation. Nick needs a dose of reality. While Alonso caters to Sabrina, Nick becomes fully aware of how hard it is to care for their child alone. When Sabrina returns to Dallas, she must choose between her past and her present. Will she allow Alonso to continue to give her what she needs, or will she and Nick be proof that the third time is the charm?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tomorrow - Her Only Choyce - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>His mother named him Choyce because when it came to his father, she didn’t have one. As midnight strikes, she tries to warn Choyce of joining the family business. Dismissive of his mother’s warning, Choyce joins his family for his eighteenth birthday party, where his grandfather gives him the terms of his rite of passage. When Choyce rejects the terms, the act is seen as a rejection of his family and their rules, and the events that follow make two things very clear to Choyce: his mother was right… and things will never be the same again. Ten years later, things have changed drastically for Choyce, his family, and the business. While there are a few things he regrets, saving Lavender the night of his eighteenth birthday isn’t on that list. Though a decade has passed, the day they spent together has been permanently seared into his memory. He’s changed now... hardened in some places and softened in others. But one thing that will never change is his loyalty and fierce need to protect and possess Lavender every time she’s in his presence. To commemorate the day that changed them both, Lavender returns to Memphis, TN. Will she finally return Choyce’s heart to him, or will she leave with even more of his love than when she came?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Coming tomorrow - A Picture Perfect Love! - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Synopsis: Photographer Zuri Simpson has given up on love for herself, but she still believes it can be found for everyone else. The hopeless romantic uses her photo booth to set strangers up for blind dates, but she’s never considered using it for herself—until one of her clients gets stood up.  Mayan Smith has always wanted love and a family of his own. Unfortunately, his playboy reputation from his younger years has made it almost impossible for him to find a suitable wife in the small town of Hibiscus Hills. When his future sister-in-law mentions a photo booth blind date, the adventurous ex-basketball player is all in. For Zuri, adding matchmaker to her resume was supposed to be a fun way to get new clients and increase her income… Falling in love was nowhere on her to-do list. Will Zuri’s health and past experiences cause her broken heart to reject all that Mayan has to give, or will she allow him to gift her with a picture-perfect love?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tomorrow - MISTER LIBRARIAN - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Honey  The literary gods and my professor smiled on me. Professor Johnson had given us a selected book to read and write an essay for. Since there weren’t any copies of The Book of Women by Marlon James at my school library, I had to go to the black historic library. It wasn’t necessarily a historic book, but it was written about a historic time, so I was hoping they had it in stock. If he didn’t, as long as I could see him, this wouldn’t be a wasted trip.  My grin was wide as I strutted inside with a fast pace. Standing between the information and checkout desks and the computers section, I closed my eyes and allowed my sense of smell to take over. Immediately, my nostrils were engulfed by my favorite scent—books. As soon as I opened my eyes again, I had to resist releasing the clipped squeal that tried to come out as I skipped toward the aisles of long, thick bookshelves. It was… beautifully overwhelming. My eyes were filled with wonder as I took in row and row of books. I didn’t even know where to start. A part of me wanted to see if The Book of Women was here, but Jesus. There was so much to explore.  I found myself going down each row, fingers trailing over books here and there. At some points, I’d stop and grab something to scan, but for the most part, I just wanted to take in the majesty of so many books written by Black people all in one place.  For the first time, I didn’t have to go to an African American section. This library housed thousands of books, and they were all written by people who looked like me. I started to get so emotional that I had to pause and take a few deep breaths while I dried my eyes.  “Do you need help finding something?” Even with his hushed tone, I knew it was him. That low honeyed voice was unforgettable. Chills covered my arms just at the sound of it. Slowly, I turned to face him, unable to deny the smile that spread my lips in the process.  Mr. Librarian was devastatingly beautiful. Yes, he was handsome and sexy and fine… but God… was he beautiful.  Like the first time I saw him, he was dressed professionally. Today, he wore black slacks and a navy-blue button-down shirt. It fit like it was made just for him—showcasing his muscular build and wide chest in the process.  His hand lifted and thumb grazed the middle of his chin as he eyed me, showing off his classic silver timepiece. There was also a pair of diamond studs in his ears, but no necklace or bracelets.  “Actually, yes and no.” My gaze lowered to my feet softly as I tried to pull in my smile. I felt like a little girl with a crush, and I didn’t know if it was because I was physically attracted to him or feeling attached to him because of what he’d done for me days earlier with Mr. Sheldon. “I’m here for a specific title, but I wasn’t looking for it just yet. This is my first time here, and I’m honestly blown away by the size and collection of these books.” A ghost of a smile lifted the corners of his lips briefly before he licked them and crossed his arms over his chest. When he didn’t reply, I added, “So you’re the manager?” “I’m the owner,” he corrected, getting an impressed nod and eyebrow raise out of me. He didn’t look that much older than me, but that didn’t mean anything. Hell, there were kids creating businesses and opportunities that were making them millionaires these days… So it shouldn’t have surprised me that a young black man was able to create something for the culture.  “That’s cool. I would live in a place like this if I could.” This time when he smiled, it fully formed. “You don’t just restore books then?” he confirmed. “You actually read them?” “Oh yes.”  I couldn’t stop myself from gushing as I took a small step in his direction. I shouldn’t have done that, though, because it gave me the chance to smell his scent. It wasn’t loud and strong or the kind of scent you smelled from feet away. No. It was delicate and alluring… the kind of scent that made you want to get closer so you could smell it better… take in every note. My eyes fluttered as I inhaled, filling my nostrils with the sandalwood and oriental mix. He smelled… airy. There was no other way to describe it. I had taken such a long pause to inhale his scent that I forgot what we were even talking about. Mr. Librarian chuckled before licking those heart-shaped pink lips. They were lined in a brown shade that was darker than his sandy brown skin.  His low beard connected to the tapered fade he was rocking. The sides were shaved low, and there was a curved line on the left side that gave him a slightly boyish appeal. I liked it—a lot.  But his eyes… I believe I was most captivated by his eyes. They were coffee brown in color with curly lashes framing them. I had to resist reaching out and running my finger across his naturally arched brow.  “What book are you looking for?” he asked, keeping his voice low as our eyes remained locked.  “I need The Book of Women by…” “Marlon James,” he added with a bob of his head. Turning on his heels, he motioned for me with his hand as he said, “Follow me.” I did, unable to keep my eyes from zeroing in on his back. I loved a man’s back, especially if he worked out. All I could visualize was my nails digging into his back as he dug into my pussy. With a quiet groan, I shook my head and tried not to think about that as I lowered my eyes.  Damn! He even had the perfect round butt! Get it together, Honey! “Is there a particular reason you’re looking for this book?” he asked, forcing me to stand next to him instead of behind him to ensure he’d hear my reply.  “Yes. I have to do an essay on it for my creative writing class.” “Interesting. What’s your classification?” I smiled as we made a sharp left down one of the aisles I hadn’t made it to yet. The fact that he had black carpeting and shelves made me love this place even more.  “I actually already have my bachelor’s degree in English, but I’m going back to get my master’s in creative writing.” “Impressive,” he complimented, stopping and turning to face me. “Is it your goal to write fiction?” Shrugging, I nodded. “Yeah, eventually. Book restoration pays my bills, and I’m content with doing that, but I would love to be an author one day—fiction and nonfiction. I also love to learn which is why I went back to school. I know that I can write and publish without a degree, but I’m a lover of knowledge and words.” “Are you as good at writing as you are restoring books?” Smiling, I shrugged again. I wasn’t used to a man asking me questions about school and work… books for that matter, but I was loving every second of it.  “I’m not sure. Maybe you could read some of my work one day and let me know if you think I’m any good at it.” “I’m sure you are.” He paused, head tilted as his eyes scanned my frame again. “I’m sure there are a lot of other things you’re good at too.” There was something about his tone that was naughty. Or at least that’s how it sounded to me. I refused to believe he was actually flirting with me though… so blatantly at that. My head lowered briefly, and when I pulled it back up, a few of my curls had spilled over onto my face.  Mr. Librarian made a quick work of gently pushing them out of my face and pushing my glasses back up the bridge of my nose. I only wore them when I was working or reading and hadn’t even bothered to take them off when I headed here.  Before I could lose myself in the feel of his closeness, Mr. Librarian was extending his arm on the side of me and grabbing a book. He stepped closer, invading my personal space with his heat… filling my nostrils with his alluring scent. When his eyes lowered to my lips, I was unable to deny his attraction any longer. My mouth watered and I swallowed, hoping he wouldn’t notice my hardened nipples.  All of my reservations about meeting new men flew out of the window with him. If he was anyone else, the invasion of my personal space would have been a crossed boundary that triggered me. But with him… I only wanted him closer.  “Here you are,” he granted, extending me the book as his eyes remained locked on mine.  My clumsy ass dropped the book when I tried to grab it, and it hit his foot.  “Oh my God! I’m so sorry!” I whispered as loudly as I could, bending to grab the book.  He groaned within his throat, but it wasn’t from pain. I knew that groan. That groan was from pleasure. I looked up at him, unable to deny the bulge in his pants in the process.  “Unless you’re about to get on your knees, I really need you to stand up.” I was so caught off guard and aroused by his comment I was speechless. Shit, a part of me wanted to drop to my knees right the fuck where we stood! See how quiet he could be while I sucked his dick in this library. But I didn’t know this man from Adam. The last time I’d moved so quickly with a man, he invaded my home with three of his friends and robbed me while one of them beat and tried to rape me. I guess it was his mercy that he stopped the rape and beating, but that for damn sure didn’t stop Chris from making sure they left with my money, jewelry, electronics, designer items, motorcycle, and bank information.  That thought had my pussy drying instantly as I stood.  “Thanks for helping me find the book,” I muttered, hating how my thoughts of that night could instantly shift my mood.  “Come. I’ll set you up with a library card.” “That would be nice,” I admitted with a small smirk.  We walked to the front area of the library, where I gave him my license and answered a few questions for the application. He found my name to be fitting, and that wasn’t the first time I’d heard that. As soon as I came out of my mother’s womb with skin the same shade of honey like my father, she made up in her mind that would be my name. I couldn’t count how many times I’d had men ask me if I tasted as sweet as honey and that shit would be more and more played out each time. Mr. Librarian hadn’t asked that though, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it would have gotten a different reaction out of me if he did.  “I want you to come back for more,” Mr. Librarian said, pulling me from my thoughts.  It took me a second to register his words, but when I did, I confirmed, “More books? You didn’t finish your sentence.” He grinned with one side of his mouth as he handed me the book and my new library card. “Yes, I did.”  “Yes, sir,” I agreed, unable to keep my voice from dropping and displaying my arousal.  He groaned again and bit down on his bottom lip before taking a few backwards steps then turning and walking away. I was glad he did, because I was a few seconds away from hopping over that counter and having my way with him…</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Swallowing hard, Elise confessed, “I’m not usually shy and reserved, especially sexually.” “So what’s got you so tight now?” Pressing her lips together, she spread her gloss around them more… teasing him. Making him wish they were connected to his lips. “I know you’re tired of hearing it, because I’m tired of saying it.” She smiled softly, and Izeah couldn’t pull himself to disagree with her. “But I don’t want to let those feelings stand in the way of us tonight.” Elise reached out her hand, and Izeah placed it inside of his. “Will you be okay with us being intimate physically and not going all the way? I should have asked that first before I made that request.” “You never have to ask that of me, Sunshine. I will always be at your disposal.” Relief washed over her face before she led him into her room. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Izeah watched as she lit candles and incense. Sandalwood wafted through the room, but it was mixed with something else. He asked, and she told him it was patchouli—both used for relaxation and to calm a person’s nerves. Elise opened the curtains and cut off the lights. She turned the TV on, choosing an R&amp;B music station. Standing in front of him, she requested, “Undress me.” Biting back a moan, Izeah wrapped his hands around the back of her legs and pulled her closer. She secured herself by placing her hands on his shoulders, keeping her eyes locked with his. With precision, Izeah removed her shoes and clothing until all that remained was the nude bra and panty set she had on. With his hands on her hips, Izeah brushed his nose across her stomach as he inhaled her scent. Typically, he didn’t care for fruity smells on women because it seemed immature, but as he inhaled the mango scent of her body, he couldn’t help but envision her laying on the beach with fruit juice dripping down her chin as her nectar coated his. The more he smelled her, the more he wanted to taste her, and that was the only reason he stood to undress. A small smile lifted the corners of his mouth when Elise didn’t step back. This was the version of her he was waiting to see. Her hands immediately began to slide down his hairy chest. Down his six-pack. Briefly, they slipped inside the space between his hips and boxers, but she pulled them out and climbed into bed. Izeah crawled in behind her, releasing a contented sigh as his arm wrapped around her. She covered it with hers, scooting even further into his embrace. “I needed this… so bad.” She couldn’t have known how sensuous her voice sounded. Or maybe she did. Maybe she knew it would make his already-hard dick throb against her. Elise moaned quietly, brushing her ass against it. “That for me?” “Whenever you want it to be.” “It feels big. Can I touch it?” — eBook link — bit.ly/SMPBLove Paperback link — https://www.authorblove.net/b-love-books/strumming-my-pain</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pulling me into him, Amaru kept his arms wrapped around me as his lips kissed up my neck and ear. As soon as his tongue slipped inside, I bit down on my lip and giggled. “Amaru,” I whispered, voice laced with lust. “That still turn you on?” “Like crazy.” He groaned quietly within his throat. As his fingers began to sweep across my waist, my heart began to palpitate. Hard – and fast. Shit. My nerves were about to get the best of me. Tugging my lip between my teeth, I squeezed my eyes together tightly and inhaled a deep breath. His hands traveled up my stomach. Squeezed my breasts. I took his jeans into the palms of my hands and gripped them tightly for support. “Get in your bed.” Doing as I was told, I climbed into the center of my bed. Amaru waited until I was laying comfortably to slowly undress. I watched intently as each piece of his clothing began to fall. By the time he was standing before me in only his gray boxers, I was swallowing hard and closing my legs just to open them and close them all over again. The bulge in his boxers reminded me of just how thick and long his dick was. Not that I could forget it. Or its curve. And if time and experience made him an even better lover, there was no way in hell this weekend would end and I not be sprung. Amaru casually retrieved a condom from his wallet – as if he wasn’t nervous about this at all. Maybe he wasn’t. Maybe it was just me overreacting. I didn’t have a need to, though. I dominated everything in my life, so I could dominate sex with an ex too. Closing my eyes, I tried to inhale a deep breath, but it came out short and choppy instead. I covered my face when I felt his body dent the bed. With his weight hovering over me, Amaru chuckled quietly. It made me smile before I felt myself want to cry. This shit was probably a hilarious joke to him while I, on the other hand, was going fucking crazy on the inside! “Carter,” he called, and that only made it worse. Because he had always been the only person to call me by my last name. No baby or boo or sweetheart… just Carter. The way he said it always made it sound like the sweetest, most endearing pet name in the world. “Hmm?” “Are you okay?” “Uh – yes. Are you okay?” He lowered my left hand and wrapped it around his hardened shaft. Dammit. I’d missed him taking his boxers off. “Does it feel like I’m okay?” — eBook link — https://bit.ly/LastChanceToLove Paperback link — https://www.authorblove.net/b-love-books/last-chance-to-love</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Happy with his dismissal, Asylum made his way to the dining room table and made himself comfortable. Since she was doing something special for him, he wanted to do something special for her as well. After placing an order for every flavor of popcorn on the Funky Chunky site and having it shipped to her address, he opened a private browser and looked up videos on pussy eating on Pornhub. Up until now, he’d never been ashamed of the fact that he only had sex doggy style or in the dark to avoid the intimacy of looking in a woman’s eyes. And as much as he received head, he’d never had a reason to give it. No woman ever made him want to. And he could make them come repeatedly with his fingers and thick, ten-inch dick. But… there was something about Femi. Something that had him craving the feeling of her lips against his, wanting to slowly stroke her while he stared into her eyes, and desiring to learn how to eat her pussy until she begged him to stop. Asylum didn’t realize how long he’d been watching the videos until she stood behind him, asking, “You taking notes?” Jumping up from his seat, Asylum quickly slammed his phone down on the table. Femi held her stomach and she doubled over in laughter. “The hell you so shaky for?” “Yo’ daddy ain’t teach you not to sneak up on a nigga like that?” She was still laughing so hard, tears were forming in her eyes. As startled and irritated as he was, the sight of her having such a good laugh at his expense calmed him down. “He did, but that didn’t include walking up on my man watching porn.” When she realized what she said, her laughter immediately died down. The tension was thick between them as they stared at each other in silence. Femi was the first to move. She walked along the side of him and placed the cornbread on the table. As she tried to walk away, Asylum gently grabbed her arm and pulled her into his chest. “What you runnin’ for?” he asked with a low voice, though he already knew the answer. “I didn’t mean that.” “Mean what?” Femi stared into his eyes, gauging his seriousness. “You’re really going to make me repeat it?” He nodded. “That you were my man. I didn’t mean that.” “So I’m not?” Her head shook. “No. We said we weren’t doing that. Right?” He nodded. “So, no.” “But what if I wanna be?” “Do you?” He did, but he couldn’t pull himself to say it. Instead, he changed the subject. “I wasn’t watching the shit just for the sake of watching it. I was trying to see what to do.” Femi’s smile returned. “When do I get to see, well, feel, what you’ve learned?” Licking his lips, Asylum wrapped his free arm around her as well. “As far as I’m concerned, you can feed me that pussy right after dinner.” — Paperback link — https://www.authorblove.net/b-love-books/2020/5/12/i7roy6i6lo5l202vdobeid9zojsfxn</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Haelston is unlike most men in the way that he craves love, or used to, until his last several relationships didn’t pan out. Consumed with the fact that he can’t find the woman of his dreams, he gives up and decides it would be better if he focuses on his career as an artist. In the middle of his focus, a monkey wrench is thrown into his plans when he hears of the passing of an ex-girlfriend. The funeral, surprisingly, creates an opportunity that even he won’t be able to deny, when he runs into the fun and confident Honey Bee. Bee is a divorcée who is ready to jump back into the dating waters, and Haelston is exactly the type of man she’d like to sink her teeth into – if he’s ready to accept the love she has to give. When love presents itself, will Haelston be strong enough to recognize and receive it, or will he miss the chance of a lifetime because of past disappointments?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Traditionally Published Books - the loyal wife</image:title>
      <image:caption>An emotionally charged psychological thriller that will leave fans breathless as they bear witness to the lengths a wife will go to honor her vows. An addictive pulse-pounder for fans of twisty plots in the same vein of Colleen Hoover’s Verity. Perfect wife … Perfect life … until you can’t remember either. The moment Dante Williams wakes up on the side of the road, unsure of where he is or who he is, his life changes for the worse. After a brief stay in the hospital, Dante is released to the care of his loving wife, Sade. Sade is beautiful, successful, and loyal. So loyal, she devotes herself to Dante indefinitely, hoping this will help him appreciate what he has—his life and his wife. While seemingly having it all, their perfect marriage isn’t enough to keep Dante from digging up the past in hopes of recovering his memory. It isn’t long before he begins questioning Sade’s behavior and intentions. Once secrets start to unravel, Dante is left more confused than the day following the accident. When Dante discovers evidence of something more sinister at play, he prepares to end his marriage but learns quickly that Sade meant every word in her vows and plans to honor them, until death.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Traditionally Published Books - the devoted husband</image:title>
      <image:caption>When obsession meets revenge, no one is safe in this gripping new sequel to The Loyal Wife by national bestselling author B. Love. A dangerous obsession. Simmering tensions. Twisted vendettas . . . Detective Jones is back on the scene, obsessed with bringing down Sade for multiple murders. But his relentless pursuit masks a shocking personal connection that drives his thirst for catching her far beyond the bounds of justice. Meanwhile, Sade is carrying Dante’s baby and is entangled with Atlas—the man responsible for Dante’s accident and amnesia. As Atlas’s behavior grows increasingly erratic and threatening, Sade must decide whether to run or fight. As Sade finds her way back to Dante, their newfound happiness is threatened as Jones closes in with evidence that could tear their world apart. Now, they must decide how far they’ll go to protect their love and each other. But no one’s hands stay clean for long in this deadly game of cat and mouse. It is now Dante’s time to prove that his devotion knows no limits . . . even if it means adding to the body count. “B. Love blurs the line between devotion and destruction in this heart-pounding sequel. Every time I thought I had it figured out, another twist sent me spiraling. If you love gripping thrillers with high stakes and unforgettable characters, this one is a must-read!” —K.C. Mills, USA Today bestselling author of Innocent Intent.</image:caption>
