About the book

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

On Father's Day, at a long white table in the Miami sun, the family learns who has been mailing secrets to the federal government for twelve years. The answer reaches back to a kitchen telephone in 2008, and to the night Claude Daniels lost his family in Detroit. Claude and Kelly have built a marriage, three children, and a foundation out of everything that tried to break them. Now Claude carries a sealed envelope in the inside pocket of his navy jacket, a letter from the man who ruled Anthony's world, and he has not yet found the courage to open it.

A trial is three weeks away. The defense wants the source named and every envelope thrown out. Men tied to the old empire have already stood outside Julian Dixon's gate. Detective Arnold and Latoya refuse to leave Doreen's side, Reggie is learning things about his own mother at sixty-three, and Agent Dana Whitlock finally gets invited to the table.

In In This One Life, the final book of the Friends 2 Lovers series, Kelly holds Claude to the rule she made for this family: no more safes. Whatever that letter holds, they will face it side by side. But when the truth finally comes out of that pocket, can the love that began on a Detroit schoolyard carry the weight of everything it says?
