A Friends-To-Lovers Collection, featuring novellas by:

Nia Forrester, Jacinta Howard, Lily Java, & Rae Lamar

Four Authors. Four Stories. For Love.

“Acceptable Losses” by Nia Forrester: Quentin is in the middle of a separation from his wife that seems to have no conclusive end in sight, while Lena is stuck in Single Girl Hell. The only respite either of them have is their regular coffee dates, while working on shared projects at a very demanding job. Sick of hearing about Lena’s semidisastrous attempts to couple-up, Quentin decides to fix her up. With his brother. Seems like a perfect solution; after all, his brother is a decent enough guy and Lena deserves that. Perfect ... until it appears that the fix-up might actually work.

“Blind Expectations” by Jacinta Howard: Aristotle once said the only thing constant in life is change. Or was that Confucius? Whatever. People are fluid—they come into your life for a while, and when it’s time for them to float on, Leah has no qualms waving goodbye. The only exception is her neighbor and best friend, Trevor. When all else fails in her crazy world, Trevor is always there, reliable, steady… real. But then one night a heated argument leads to a revelation that shakes Leah to the core. Suddenly, Leah is forced to make a choice. But will her heart survive her decision?

“Blackbirds” by Lily Java: Once upon a time Sydney Tarr and Elliott Vance were friends: fast friends, ride or die, pledge of allegiance, take it to the mat, “friends”. And the fact that Sydney loved her friend more than she should didn’t matter until finally... one unusual and spectacular night, it did. It mattered very much. Still, not every story is a fairy tale is it? Friends do part -- sometimes forever -- but, not always.

“Blur” by Rae Lamar: Jade Warner is back home. The bad part? Starting over. The best part? Reconnecting with Kyle Malone. Picking up where they left off years ago, it feels just like old times...except for the mutual attraction and questionable feelings, which are all brand new. For Jade and Kyle, it’s unthinkable to hook up given the history of their fail-safe friendship, but anything can happen when you live under the same roof...","spice","series_order","average_rating","reviews_count",0,"editions_count",1,"contributors",[],"authors",[90,91,92],"Because My Heart Said So","edition_id","693c165b-4ab4-4cdf-be62-fe2ac7123243","series","year",2016,"first_published","Jun 2016","likes_count","collections_count","slug","1637-because-my-heart-said-so","format",{"_19":85,"_67":86,"_87":88,"_89":75},"page_count",470,"duration","published_date","June 15, 2016","isbn","asin","B01G9AW4H6","hex_code","#885d43","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/1625i/693c165b-4ab4-4cdf-be62-fe2ac7123243.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_78":79,"_80":81},"tags",[66],{"_19":29,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_21":-5,"_44":71,"_72":73,"_74":75,"_76":75,"_77":27},"name","Romance","category","genre","romance","url","/genres/romance","selectable",false,"sensitive","position","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_82":27,"_83":27,"_84":27},"yes","no","maybe",3,"Kindle","type","print","audio",{"_19":107,"_67":108,"_44":109,"_96":-5,"_97":-5,"_98":110,"_99":111},{"_19":102,"_67":103,"_44":104,"_96":-5,"_97":-5,"_98":105,"_99":106},{"_19":93,"_67":94,"_44":95,"_96":-5,"_97":-5,"_98":29,"_99":100},"e335d706-7af6-475b-9a0c-9cd14cc71e44","Lily Java","144-lily-java","biography","image","books_count","roles",[101],"author","692b6f27-daa4-4c92-af6b-816c1f4f9231","Nia Forrester","143-nia-forrester",53,[101],"4a689f72-5f1c-4652-a9f1-834ccf170851","Jacinta Howard","130-jacinta-howard",19,[101],"isLoggedIn",["P",113],"result","seo",{"_13":123,"_124":125,"_21":126,"_127":128,"_72":12,"_129":130,"_131":132},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","robots",{"_153":75,"_154":75},"jsonLd",{"_133":134,"_135":136,"_67":123,"_137":138,"_139":140,"_72":12,"_141":142},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[148,149,150,151,152],"potentialAction",{"_135":143,"_144":145,"_146":147},"SearchAction","target","https://blackauthored.com/books/1637-because-my-heart-said-so/listssearch?q={search_term}","query","required name='search_term'","https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
