"we fell in love the way you fall in leaves." Juwan "Rocky" Rockwell has had a pretty hard life. Between trying to find a way to fend for himself and dealing with the normal hardships of teenage angst, he had nowhere to turn as an adolescent and no time for anything other than taking care of himself. Having been set on survival rather than love itself, Juwan, now twenty-four years old, is ready for a change. He just hasn't realized it yet. Quinn Campbell, a woman accustomed to the moderately luxurious lifestyle that her parents immersed her in, has been passive all of her life. Having been torn between parents who are both demanding and have been divorced since she was nine years old, trying to find her way in the world as an adult has proven to be challenging especially since her overbearing parents have been making decisions for her since birth. One morning, on a whim, she finally decides that it's time to take control of her life. The first step is finding a change in scenery. Who ever would've thought that the second step would be becoming smitten with a man who claimed to never have had a heart? [based on "falling in leaves" from my book of one shots.]

Growing up in the cartel has its perks... money, nice houses, fast cars, expensive clothes, and of course hoes. Luis raised them to protect themselves, and Kamila taught them to respect all women even if they were hoes. After Luis's death the cartel was passed down to the four brothers (Money, Trigga, Caine, and Devil). Kamila would love for her four sons to find love and give her grand-kids before she's too old to make memories. Little does she know the Santiago brothers already have their eyes and ears open, but the pursuit won't be easy? The four girls they've chosen to pursue know all about the Santiago legacy, but they don't know the real Santiago brothers. Are they willing to give love a chance with Miami's most known, or will fear of the unknown cause them to crash and burn? I welcome you to the Santiago Cartel.

This is the third book in the "Unapologetically Me" series. If you haven't read "Unapologetically Me" and "A Silenced Gift" please don't read this story until you've read them. This is a spin-off following one of Fatima's best friends, Chanel Henderson, on her journey to find "what's best for her." For Chanel, meeting Trey Songz was initially only supposed to be a fantasy. However, all of that changed from the moment they first laid eyes on each other. What was supposed to be the fulfillment of only one night of pleasure, turned into something more and at the same time nothing at all. And it lasted longer than either believed it would. While watching her two best friends, Fatima Ward and Autumn Allen, move on in more serious relationships, she decides that it's time she give being in a relationship a try. As much as she wishes it could be with Trey, she knows Trey can't give her more. What started between them was based on sex, it was never meant to be anything more but "fun." She tries to move on and find love with a "normal guy," but everywhere she turns, Trey is there. Will she follow her heart or do what makes the most sense? © 2017 D.S. Little All rights reserved.
