Luxury at its finest.

A five-star resort, designer shopping sprees, fine dining, and balling out like there’s no tomorrow. She swears her new man is head over heels for her and doesn’t mind spending big.

While she’s out on a date, you decide to unwind with a bubble bath. The warmth relaxes you, lulling you into comfort. You dip your head beneath the water, letting the silence consume you. But when you resurface, the silence is shattered.

A man is standing there. Watching you.

Before you can scream, darkness takes over.

You're knocked out, blindfolded, tied up, and on a jet—your paradise suddenly replaced with the cold reality of Staten Island, New York.

That’s when you learn the truth.

Your best friend stole a lot of money from a very powerful man. A man with ties to an even more powerful family. And to save herself, she didn’t run.

She offered you up instead.

The blindfold is yanked away, but at first, all you see is darkness. Then, as your vision adjusts, you lock eyes with him.

A tall, brown-skinned man, his body inked with tattoos.

One look, one breath, and you realize the truth.

You’ve been handed over to Menace Caselli.

Not as a prisoner.

As his wife.]]> 428 Jahquel J. T'Lyn 5 4.74

After my Yaya passed away, I didn’t have anyone that cared for me. I mean, not even a month after Yaya was in the ground, he sat me down in the living room and sold me to a thirty-year-old man. I was sixteen, and my big brother, the man that was supposed to protect me sold me off like cattle on a farm.
My entire life has been to please Zayne. I’m his fourth wife, and the youngest wife. Nobody has ever protected or cared for me. I was tossed the cards that life handed and had to make do with them. That is until Cappadonna Delgato and I cross paths-again.




All it took was for me to see her one time in that visitation room to know that I needed her. Alaia, her name literally means Joy and happiness, and I didn’t see anything of the sorts in her eyes when she stared into my eyes that day. As Allah would have it, our paths were meant to cross on the outside, and they did.
I’m a protector, a provider, and a man, and I don’t think Alaia has ever had that in her life. I don’t care what I have to do or who I have to see to make her mine. She went years without knowing what protection and true love felt like, and I’m stepping up to make sure she doesn’t go another day not knowing how I feel or how I’m coming behind her. If I say she's mine, she's mine, and I've never been afraid to shed blood to prove it.]]> 304 Jahquel J. T'Lyn 5 4.76

I refuse to lose, and I’m making sure my family is protected by any means necessary.

It was funny how I used to be against the streets, and I still was. However, I was going to marry Capone and into the Delgato family, those views needed to change. I needed to ride for my future husband like I knew he would ride for me. It’s time for me to put all my fears and reservations I had behind me and stand beside Capone.
We were a target. People wanted to bring harm to our front step, and it was time to stand beside my husband and protect our family.

]]> 204294808 A neat freak Scrooge and a Christmas-loving ball of chaos must coexist for a week, and the friction and separation that ensue makes the most magical time of the year extremely remarkable in this holiday romance by K.C. Mills.

After pumping her hard-earned savings into a business plan that doesn’t pan out, Noel is left financially strapped and needs a way to earn money to stay afloat. Under the advisement of her closest friends, she decides to rent out her apartment as an Airbnb for the Christmas holidays while she visits her family for their annual Christmas celebration. Her plans were to relax, celebrate the season, and regroup. What she didn’t plan on was coming down ill and having to miss the opportunity to spend much-needed time with her family.  

Kincaid is on the cusp of securing a lucrative business deal. In order to get a one-up on his competition, he rents an Airbnb in the same apartment complex where his potential client resides. Only he’s surprised when he shows up and the owner of the Airbnb not only wants to cancel the reservation, but is still occupying the space.  

With great reluctance, Noel and Kincaid agree to cohabitate for one week. Noel attempts to stay out of Kincaid’s way, but they undoubtedly cross paths, causing friction between the two. They immediately clash on everything, most notably with their views on the holidays. Noel is determined to have a very Merry Christmas in spite of her temporary housemate, which is the source of Kincaid’s irritation.  

Eventually, the two began to soften toward each other. Once Kincaid allows himself to view things through Noel’s eyes, he begins to give into her need to celebrate the holiday. With a show of faith and simple gestures, Kincaid finds that Christmas cheer isn’t so terrible after all. The mutual ground the two have landed on sparks a budding relationship that comes to a halt at the end of their week.     Noel is the first to accept that one week isn’t quite enough, but Kincaid decides it’s best to return to his life and business as usual. However, forgetting his time with Noel proves futile, and he soon realizes that Noel offered him something he didn’t know he needed.  

With dramatic flair, Kincaid attempts to prove to Noel that they’re made for each other. Is it too late, or can they find love in spite of their misgivings?  ]]> 256 K.C. Mills 1957950536 T'Lyn 5 3.74 2024

]]> 204523399 A prominent romance author has a slump in her love life and book sales, but a chance encounter with a hot firefighter helps her reignite her muse in this swoony holiday romance, perfect for book romantics.

Saira Wright is a prominent Black romance author who has been signed to the most prestigious publisher of African American works, Brownstone Literature. Her career has been successful for the past five years. However, she’s in a slump, and so are her sales and reviews. The romance she has been known for seems to be zapped out of her stories . . . and her love life.

Eager to get Saira back on top of the charts, her publisher has given her an ultimatum—write a chart-topping holiday romance or be dropped from the publishing house. There’s only one Saira strongly opposes penning holiday books. To her, they are cliché and off-brand, but with her career on the line, she’s forced to give it a shot. To capture the spirit of the holidays, she books a vacation in the most “Christmassy�� town she can find.

Sharing the other side of her rented duplex is the owner, Dorian Black, a volunteer firefighter, and the town’s little league football coach. He’s also “Mr. December�� in the firefighter’s annual fundraising calendar . . . and every woman’s dream. Years ago, Dorian was happily married to the love of his life until cancer took her away from him. Still coping with the loss, a romantic relationship is the furthest thing from his mind. However, when he encounters his new tenant for the holiday, sparks fly and a fire is ignited that not even he can extinguish.

As the two navigate through various encounters, holiday festivities, and a snowstorm, will the magic of Christmas help them rediscover a long-awaited connection?]]> 260 Charity Shane 1957950528 T'Lyn 5 3.94 2024

Teyaira Harper has been unlucky in love ever since she laid eyes on Lequay Compton. Having bet everything on him, she was devastated to learn that she was never a part of his game plan. But when his younger brother Shakur swooped in to save the day, she couldn't have been happier having finally run into a man who valued the woman she's always portrayed herself to be. Right then and there, she vowed to protect this new love at all costs. What she didn't count on though, was that sometimes relationships are more than exotic trips, intimacy, and shopping sprees. There can also be trials, tribulations and tests. And when faced with the ultimate trial, Teyaira begins to lose her footing in a once stable union. However this time, she promises not to go down without a fight.

In this love story saturated with secrets, lies, and betrayals, these lovers learn that some of the greatest loves can come from the strangest places, while others were never meant to bloom at all.

They said if you loved something, let it go. If it comes back; it was always yours. But if it doesn’t? It never was. Kaleem wondered if that still stood even though he hadn’t willingly let her go. Kaleem had his fair share of abandonment—first his mother and father, then her. The last thing he wanted was help from the very person who’d abandoned him ten years ago after doing the unthinkable, or so he thought.

History had a way of flipping things and most of all giving a bullhorn to trauma. With these two anything was possible, but only a few things were plausible. Was forgiveness on the table or had ten years just been too long?]]> 209 Kennedy B. T'Lyn 5 4.55

Jabo, a man whose charm is as captivating as his promises are weak as some knockoff perfume, has left Courtney's heart in tatters time and again. His pockets, as empty as the sweet nothings he whispers, symbolize the unfulfilled dreams and broken promises that have come to define their love.

Yet, despite the heartache, Courtney finds herself anchored to Jabo, her soul entangled in the hope of him changing his ways. His words, though often empty, resonate with a melody of change that drowns out the cautious warnings of friends and family. Even as shadows of his past liaisons, particularly with the mother of his child, loom over their present, Courtney clings to a flickering hope for a future where love triumphs over adversity.

The cost of this love, however, is steep. Jabo's narcissistic nature, marked by violent outbursts, costs Courtney her job at the call center, further unraveling the threads of her already precarious life. Each day, she finds herself Is the love of Jabo worth the cascade of pain and chaos it brings?

Yet, in this journey, Courtney's spirit is not broken. Her story is not just one of heartache but also of resilience, a relentless quest for a love that honors and uplifts her. It's a narrative of second chances—not just with Jabo but, more importantly, with herself. Her journey is a mirror to the soul-searching quest of many, a poignant exploration of the lengths we go to for love, and the courage it takes to envision a life beyond the familiar confines of pain.

In "Alexa, Play 'I Need a Rich Thug Husband'," Jatoria C. weaves a tale that transcends the gritty realities of life in the hood. It's a story that resonates with the heartbeat of African American romance, a narrative rich with themes of love, loss, and the audacious hope of a second chance. Through Courtney's eyes, readers are invited to experience the raw, unfiltered essence of love in its many shades, a journey that promises to leave an indelible mark on the heart.]]> 170 Jatoria C.
