Serenity Davidson has no time for strays. She's too busy running Greensboro's best soul food catering business and keeping her mama happy. But when they find a starving, half-dead man collapsed on their front porch, Serenity does what she does best: she feeds him. He says his name is Kevin. He says he's an unemployed factory worker with "bad asthma." He is lying. He is Lorenzo Moretti, the ruthless Don of the Sicilian Mafia, battered and hiding in plain sight. He intended to heal, exact his revenge, and disappear. But after weeks of Serenity's pot roast, her warm bed, and her bossy attitude, Lorenzo realizes he has a new addiction. He's not just going to take back his empire. He's taking the cook with him.

Amira Hart was never meant to be part of the story. Not the public one, anyway. But behind every polished legacy is the girl no one talks about-the one who was loved in secret, then left in silence. For two years, Amira and Brooks Whitmore IV lived in that silence. He was the President's son, raised for cameras and campaign trails. She was the woman he chose when no one was watching. Their worlds were never meant to meet. The cards were stacked long before they kissed in the dark. Now, two years later, a wedding invitation arrives. His name is on it. So is hers. Told in fragments and flashbacks, His Secret is a quiet storm of a love story-about memory, erasure, and the women history tries to forget.

"Do you know what he did last night?" He asks causing me to immediately stop talking. My mind instantly traveled to the worse scenario that there was and I could tell that he knew it to. He chuckles darkly amused by my reaction but I didn't give him the satisfaction of seeing it for too long. "And you think Dexter's capable of loving you?" "If I'm honest I didn't categorize you in his list of preferences Doctor Mc'Knight." He mocks. "But you seem to fit right in." He says giving me a look of pure disgust. I rolled my eyes at his dramatics defiantly before speaking. "I don't fit under any preferences when I am the blueprint." Sequel to Déjà Vu
