My mother won’t release me from her mistake. I was my ex’s unplanned side chick and his something to do. I’m struggling to forgive myself for my reckless decision nearly six years ago. Then I encountered him, the sexy stranger whose presence gave me a flicker of hope. The problem is . . . my scars. Is he worth taking a chance with?

Germayne Malone

My ex won’t get the hint that our time has ended, no matter how much I ignore her. My sister fell into the trap, placing me in a situation where I needed an immediate replacement. A minute in her presence had me imagining more than a plus-one at my sister’s wedding. The odds are stacked against me, but I’ve never been one to quit before achieving success. If only I could convince her to give me a chance to show her that she can trust me with everything. We’ve had two prior encounters. Will the third run-in be the charm?

Will Chaniya and Germayne push beyond the haze of uncertainty to pursue a love they’ve never known? Find out within the pages of It’s Love I’m After.","spice","series_order","average_rating","reviews_count",0,"editions_count",1,"contributors",[],"authors",[79],"It's Love I'm After","edition_id","f8454400-dc96-48cc-87b8-8de1e2b50f75","series","year",2025,"first_published","Jul 2025","likes_count","collections_count","slug","2821-it-s-love-i-m-after","format",{"_19":72,"_73":74,"_75":76,"_77":78},"page_count",220,"duration","published_date","July 8, 2025","isbn","asin","B0FH5JM82S","hex_code","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/2805i/f8454400-dc96-48cc-87b8-8de1e2b50f75.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_65":66,"_67":68},"tags",[],"ratings",{},"recommend",{"_69":27,"_70":27,"_71":27},"yes","no","maybe",3,"name","Kindle","type","print","audio",false,{"_19":80,"_73":81,"_44":82,"_83":-5,"_84":-5,"_85":86,"_87":88},"6a4ba229-2a05-4386-8e29-97efb2d36758","Riley Baxter","216-riley-baxter","biography","image","books_count",35,"roles",[89],"author","isLoggedIn",["P",91],"result","seo",{"_13":101,"_102":103,"_21":104,"_105":106,"_107":12,"_108":109,"_110":111},"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","url","robots",{"_132":78,"_133":78},"jsonLd",{"_112":113,"_114":115,"_73":101,"_116":117,"_118":119,"_107":12,"_120":121},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[127,128,129,130,131],"potentialAction",{"_114":122,"_123":124,"_125":126},"SearchAction","target","https://blackauthored.com/books/2821-it-s-love-i-m-after/feedsearch?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"]
