"I will get you back, Sinclair." He grabbed my hand and put the ring on my palm, then closed my hand tight. "And that's a promise." I froze as he kissed my hand and slowly reached for my forehead. ─────── ○ ─────── After two years since her divorce with her NBA player ex-husband, Sinclair Leighton is ready to start fresh and swear that she was done playing the game. Until she met Essien Boateng, a former basketball player now billionaire. And when he saw her from across the court, she's the only game he wants to win.

Being the middle daughter in a Haitian family is a full-time job-and Nadine Pierre is done clocking in. Her parents built an import-export empire and a legend to match. Big sister Roseline is the crown jewel-married, pregnant, polished at the company. Baby sister Jessica shines at school with perfect plans. Nadine? She's the curvy one, the single one, the "too much" one-writing a Black culture column that her mama calls a hobby and her editor calls "rebrandable." When her column gets cut and her mama parades an ex like a solution, Nadine snaps. Writing is the only place she feels alive-she won't trade it for a smile and a husband. Then comes Tariq, the Ledger's golden boy, assigned as her "balance" on a new dating series about hit reality show Heatwave. He's infuriating, incisive, and the only man who gets under her skin without even touching her. Heavy Is the Middle is messy, sexy, and unapologetic-about body shame, Haitian family politics, and wanting more than survival. For every Black girl told she was too loud, too big, too single, or too much-and burned brighter anyway.
