Selfish by KuTura B. 0 (0)

Book Description

Sundae Monroe Banks was born into pain.

After losing her father and being handed over to the streets by her own mother, she learned early: love is dangerous, and emotions are a weakness she can’t afford.

While most girls her age are picking colleges and chasing dreams, Sundae’s out here chasing survival.
Now nineteen, cold-blooded, and wise beyond her years, she stacks money, uses men, and keeps her heart locked behind walls nobody can break through.
Trust is dead. Loyalty is strictly conditional.

But when people she thought were solid start switching sides—and the past she tried to bury claws its way back—Sundae is forced to confront the one person she’s been running from… herself.

Selfish is a raw, gritty urban fiction novel packed with betrayal, heartbreak, and survival.
If you love street lit, hood love stories, and Black coming-of-age tales with real emotion and shocking twists, Selfish is a must-read.

“Because love might heal…
But sometimes, being selfish is the only way to survive.”

On Midnight Shores by Julie Olivia 0 (0)

Never Harbour keeps getting better and better” — Amazon.com review by BooksAndBunnyHugs

Book Description

He’s Never Harbor’s tattooed bad boy, and I’m the good girl he doesn’t know exists.

I’ve loved Rafe Cohen since I knew unavailable artists with piercing amber eyes and reckless tattoos sparked my young, inexperienced heart.

If only the man knew who I was.

But, as it turns out, I can be reckless too. That’s how I end up in Rafe’s print shop with my legs around his waist and my innocence in his talented hands.

He insists our one night stand is just that: one night. He’s not a relationship guy.

But when he needs a new employee, and I’ve gotten one too many art internship rejections, we’re spending the summer closer than either of us expected. I want to learn everything, and lessons on painting techniques quickly turn into lessons of a very different kind.

I’m a good girl going bad, sneaking around our small town with the one man I shouldn’t, learning how art and intimacy intertwines in the most delicious ways.

I can be casual and still protect my heart. Sort of. Maybe.

I just hope I don’t learn my lesson the hard way.
