A plus-sized, billionaire heiress finds herself entangled in a sizzling friends-with-benefits affair with Xavier, a devoted cowboy businessman. \n Can they navigate the treacherous path to love amidst mysterious happenings and their own emotional walls?\n

In the third book in the Courageous Love Series Shayla St. Pierre, yes of those St. Pierres, is thriving. She lives her life on her terms and makes no apologies - not for her plus-size body, philanthropic endeavors, or her zesty love life. When her best friend lands into trouble she does what any friend would, packs a bag, hops on a private plane, and enters a world where the men are bold, badass, and built for sin. When she decides to add one of them to her charcuterie board of lovers, she finds Xavier Alexander wants to be more than a snack. He wants to be the whole damn meal. Not an option.

Xavier Alexander grew up in a world where a man’s character meant more than what he did for a living. After the family ranch was lost, Xavier left the land he loved to conquer the business world and take back what was stolen, plus interest. Putting morals first has earned him a goodie-two-shoes reputation, but those who underestimate him do so at their own peril, like Shayla St. Pierre. Her \"friends with benefits\" proposal is a generous first offer, but his counter sent her running believing he won’t pursue. Let that woman go? Not an option.

With a string of unsettling incidents targeting both of them, Shayla must confront her deepest fears while Xavier fights to prove that his love is worth the risk.

Chaser, a friends-to-lovers, billionaire, romantic suspense with plus size heroine, is the third interconnected novel in the Courageous Love Novel series written by BIPOC author Terreece M. Clarke.","format",{"_19":25,"_90":117,"_118":119,"_120":48},"publisher","LifeSlice Media","page_count",318,"duration","published_date","pub_date","May 11","isbn","9798987926208","asin","B0BS38SPRF","hex_code","#1c252a","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/5053i/25d0d55f-7281-4d0d-8a59-0538685025e1.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F5053i%2F25d0d55f-7281-4d0d-8a59-0538685025e1.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_110":111,"_112":113},"tags",[86,87,88],{"_19":31,"_90":106,"_92":107,"_54":-5,"_52":108,"_95":109,"_97":48,"_99":48,"_100":50},{"_19":101,"_90":102,"_92":103,"_54":-5,"_52":104,"_95":105,"_97":98,"_99":48,"_100":50},{"_19":89,"_90":91,"_92":93,"_54":-5,"_52":94,"_95":96,"_97":98,"_99":48,"_100":50},71,"name","Contemporary","category","setting","contemporary","url","/settings/contemporary","selectable",true,"sensitive","position",31,"Friends to Lovers","trope","friends-to-lovers","/tropes/friends-to-lovers","Romance","genre","romance","/genres/romance","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_114":50,"_115":50,"_116":50},"yes","no","maybe","Kindle","type","digital","audio","A Courageous Love","35c999d1-3777-48e9-99d3-3be88a85a3bb","order",{"_19":125,"_90":126,"_52":127,"_128":129,"_130":-5,"_131":132,"_133":134,"_135":98},"ec669052-7341-485d-b572-b2bb61acab32","Terreece M.
