IRL: In Real Life Kindle Edition Aja

 Book Excerpt:

"Talia Vaughn knows better than to confuse online chemistry with real-life intimacy.

Micah Sutton is grounded, careful, intentional, and far too easy to want, but what starts in comments, mutual circles, and public familiarity quickly becomes something neither of them can keep casual.

As private moments deepen and real feelings rise, timeline drama, old almost, nosey family, and best-friend reads force Talia and Micah to face the difference between being desired and being loved out loud.

Because some connections are cute online.
Some are dangerous in person.
And some are too real to hide.

IRL (In Real Life) is a grown, sexy standalone Black romance about online chemistry, public mess, private feelings, real-life intimacy, and love that has to show up everywhere it matters."

Trials & Tribulations (MPWG Law Firm Book 4) by B. Love

 Book Excerpt:

"For Navy Robertson, she has literally everything she wants except marriage and a family of her own. While she believes she might be able to get those things with her boyfriend, Ian, his toxic back-and-forth with her closest friend is causing drama in their relationship that Navy is finding harder to ignore.

For over a decade, Zander Gough has been content being Navy's closest friend. The more serious things get between her and Ian, the more difficult it is for Zander to deny his feelings for her. When Navy decides her friendship means more than her romantic relationship, she sees a side of Zander and Ian that she didn't expect.

Will the truth of their feelings shift these friends into lovers, or will Ian's claim on Navy's heart ruin her friendship with Zander for good?"

Book Excerpt:

"Venus Atkins has everything she wants in life and believes it will be complete after she is married to her fiancé. The problem is, the closer they get to the wedding, the more her relationship with Trevor unravels. She's never been a cheater, but the chemistry she has with Carson has her questioning not only her relationship but her moral code as well. As difficult as it is, Venus makes it to the day of her wedding faithfully, but it isn't her fiancé who wants the first look—it's Carson.

Carson Walker is a certified lover boy who has the heart, looks, and wealth to get any woman he wants. Ironically, the moment he finds out he has a baby on the way, he connects with a woman on a deeper level than he ever has before. Refusing to believe in love at first sight, Carson commits himself to his baby and the unofficial relationship he has with Asia. However, when it's time for Venus to say I Do, Carson realizes it won't be as easy as he thought it would be to let go of a woman he's technically never had.

Will Venus and Trevor tie the knot, or will she find herself entangled by a soul tie formed with Carson without her consent?"

"Growing up watching her father habitually cheat on her mother scarred Taj Sanders in ways she didn't recognize until she noticed the same pattern in her own relationships. When her fiancé cheats on her and gets his side chick pregnant, Taj decides she's done with men and love altogether. A drunken night at a hotel bar puts her at the mercy of a stranger who chooses to protect her and keep her safe instead of taking advantage of her—and he makes sure no one else does either.

When he lays eyes on Taj one year after saving her at the bar, he's determined to not let her get away again so easily.

As fate would have it, Taj finds in Tristan a man safe enough to choose and worthy of her love. Unfortunately, that's no longer her heart's desire. Tristan makes it his mission not only to soften her heart to love but to return her to her softness as a woman. With her hesitance to trust him and a lingering ex that won't let go, Tristan is in for the biggest strategic undertaking of his life. Planned correctly, his actions can lead to his happily ever after with the woman he's confident will be his wife. But one incorrect move or inadmissible action, and he may scar Taj's heart worse than it already is."
