Next Time Around

The emotional and addictive romance featuring Black love, buried family secrets, fate-filled connections, and a protective man who refuses to let the woman he loves walk away.

She was the girl he couldn't save. Now she's the woman he craves.

Onyx Dalton has faced danger, violence, and the darkest parts of humanity, but nothing has ever shaken him like Aiyanna Campbell. From the moment she dances into his life, the pull between them is undeniable. Intense. All-consuming.

Aiyanna has spent her adult life trying to fix what's broken, determined to build a life that finally feels whole. Then she meets Onyx, and for the first time, life feels right. With him, she doesn't have to fight so hard to feel whole. There is only one problem: loving him will cost her more than she's ever been willing to lose.

Because loving Onyx means facing the truth about the worst day of her life. A truth that her mind had buried. One that ties their families together in ways that could destroy everything between them.

Now Aiyanna has a choice: protect the life she's built...or risk everything for the man who knows every version of her. The man who refuses to let her go. The man who ruins her in all the ways she secretly wants.

Her choice will either wreck her...or save her.
