Riley Goode is an entertainment reporter for Associated Press. Her first big story is to cover the fight of the year in Vegas involving undefeated heavy weight champion, Yasir Belair. Riley's best friend, Lena convinces her to live just for the night and to cross something off of her bucket list: to bed the bad boy of boxing. The last thing Riley expects is for Yasir to pay her any attention when there will be plenty of model type women around. But, she is quickly mistaken. He presents her with an opportunity that a lot of women would happily accept but Riley isn't most women. The offer sounds tempting and even after her constant hesitation she accepts. But everything comes with a price.

(PREVIOUSLY TITLED SIX INCH HEELS) Remi Simmons has always been a go-getter: independent and thirsty for success. After a dysfunctional family home leaves her to fend for her self, she is adamant that she cannot depend on anyone and will make a way for herself, by herself. Everything seems to be tunnel vision for her until she starts an unusual relationship with her professor, Omari Beckham-a chill person within the classroom, with his own secrets lurking outside of it. As their relationship begins to evolve seriously, Omari teaches Remi not only the basics of psychology, but how to put her pride aside and become someone's equal.

With a life dedicated to being a voice behind the sports world, journalist Sarai Nazaire worked her way through the ranks to become one of the youngest and most sought after faces for sports television. Her will and honor to not only be accurate in statistical and skill reporting, but also a sounding board of honesty and empathy who humanizes the most known faces in the world, puts her into a position that she never saw coming. What happens when Sarai's voice becomes synonymous with one of the most prolific and explosive players in the NFL? Will this be the beginning of a whirlwind to mystically morph all that is wrong within their lives into something beautiful or will it be what destructively rips the already fragile aspects of themselves at the seams?

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.
