Myah, a Belizean-American nurse, has sworn off dating to focus on her work-and that's the story she sticks to whenever friends or coworkers try to set her up. In truth, the 25-year-old hopeless romantic is simply exhausted from dealing with "vacuous dullards" who call themselves potential partners. So when one of her patients insists she meet her successful, charming son who would be perfect for her, Myah is... less than enthusiastic.
Liam has no interest in dating, let alone love. After a devastating breakup, he buried his heart in work and built his company from the ground up, determined to rely on his own success rather than his family's wealth. When his mother falls ill, he finally steps away from the office-only to be persuaded into going on a date with the nurse she can't stop praising.
What begins as a reluctant meeting slowly unfolds into something real. Join Myah and Liam as they stumble, grow, and learn to trust again, overcoming the challenges of an interracial relationship and creating their own version of love-one built not on haste, but on time, patience, and possibility.

POSSESSION [Book 1 - DeLorenzo Desire]
**AN: Yes, I will finish this story. It's ongoing but written during increasingly limited free time. Thank you for your patience.** Smiling, I flipped open the Harry Winston box and gently pulled the jewellery from it's resting place. As I slid it up her finger, far slower than I needed to due to how much I was enjoying touching her, she finally turned her head to look at our joined hands. Looking at the ring on her finger, she withdrew her hand from mine and went to pull it off. My hands stayed hers and our eyes met. I could read all the hurt and pain she tried to hide in them and my chest tightened. I had done this to her. "It's on the wrong finger", she grit out. "No, it isn't" I replied gently. Her beautiful eyes looked down and away from me. Some invisible point outside the window drew her ire again. "I hate you", she spat. "No, you don't. Not really. I messed up. I know I did but I promise to make it up to you." "There's nothing you can do." "I will find a way." _______________________________________ Grace Andrews had done everything right.
