About the book

Coming soon. Volume Four of the Friends 2 Lovers series is on its way.

One year after Kelly Richards gave up the baby born from the worst days of her life, she marks the little girl's first birthday the only way she can: one cupcake, one candle, and a prayer whispered in the laundry room. Then the mail comes. Inside a plain white envelope is a photograph of a laughing one-year-old in a pink party hat, and on the back, four words in careful block capitals: "Happy 1st Birthday to OUR daughter."

Larry Vance is out on bail, and five months from trial. He knows where the child is. He knows exactly how to reach Claude. One quiet remark in a courthouse hallway is all it takes for Claude's temper to hand Larry everything he wants, and when Claude's fist goes through a wall in front of their daughter, Kelly gives him a choice: learn to control his rage at Uncle Dev's boxing gym, or don't come home. There, beside fast-talking heavyweight Clinton Johnson, Claude stumbles onto a secret that could change everything, and he decides to keep it.

Anthony owes a dangerous man a favor that has come due, a film director offers Kelly the role she gave up on and the people closest to them are hiding more than anyone knows. This family has survived everything. Can it survive the secrets they keep to protect each other?
