COTW: The Never List

Every week, I'll share a free chapter from one of my steamy, engaging Black romance novels. I hope you enjoy, come back for more, and visit my website for details on how to buy my novels in eBook, paperback and audio.

This week, I'm featuring The Never List, my most recent release from September 2020.
