On My Soul
Rico Dankworth walked away from the streets with blood on his hands and a vow in his heart-never go back. Now two years out the pen, he's running a mechanic shop, staying low, and rebuilding a life brick by brick. But the ghosts of his past still whisper, and temptation never knocks-it kicks the door in. Tamira Caldwell has the perfect recipe for success: a booming soul food restaurant, a solid circle, and a smile that hides the scars left by a manipulative ex who broke more than just her heart. Love? She's not checking for it. Not until Rico crashes into her world with tattoos, trauma, and a touch that threatens to unravel every wall she's built. Set in the heart of Baywood, Georgia, this is a story of redemption, real love, and the power of choosing yourself even when your past won't let go. Sometimes healing looks like greasy hands and soul food. And sometimes... it sounds like "I see you" from the one person who means it.
