they are beating for the other.

Rylan Douglas, a calf roper and assistant CFO for Henderson Ranch and Farms, finds himself in a predicament. He’s fallen in love with a woman eight years his junior. That wouldn’t be a problem if they were older. While she’s an adult, he’s still hesitant about pursuing her. He doesn’t want anyone to think he’s taking advantage of her, especially since she’s extremely trusting of him. Her intellectual disability makes her even more vulnerable. However, he can’t seem to move on because he knows his heart belongs to her.

Angel Warner longs to feel love from a man and be cherished by him. That man enters her life when she’s eighteen years old, and she’s adamant about him, one day, being hers. Her mother and stepfather are extremely protective of her, and her mother has sheltered her for her entire life. Her naivety and innocence make her seem childlike, and she knows it’s because of her intellectual delays. However, she doesn’t let down syndrome keep her from living. It simply makes her different. Knowing that Rylan sees past that and sees her heart only makes her long for him more.

Years blow by, and Rylan and Angel have a strong bond, but Rylan refuses to leave the friendzone he’s put them in because of the age gap. When he does try to give in to what he’s feeling for Angel, opposition halts them before they can begin. With both of them avoiding drama at all costs, how will they be together when drama is eminent? Will they choose peace and be miserable or will they choose to fight for what they feel is meant to be?","format",{"_303":46,"_29":80,"_359":360,"_361":69},"publisher","page_count",184,"duration","published_date","April 6, 2024","pub_date","April 6","isbn","asin","B0CZ15J8SR","hex_code","#382808","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/8135i/1a67d1e3-a993-49ed-a071-409864da865d/1788907926.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F8135i%2F1a67d1e3-a993-49ed-a071-409864da865d%2F1788907926.jpg","type","digital","audio","Henderson Family Saga","5307b9ff-3a45-4f86-b08c-8a28b69d9d55","order",{"_303":366,"_29":367,"_244":368,"_369":16,"_370":-5,"_371":372,"_373":374,"_375":50},"d48348e6-1bdb-4417-b68c-0e81f9e73265","Monica Walters","323-monica-walters","biography","image","books_count",96,"roles",[376],"in_catalog","author",{"_29":378,"_244":379,"_380":381,"_375":50},"Latisha Burns","807-latisha-burns","role","editor","d33a2570-70bf-4cb6-87a8-66c8a2815b50",8132,19,"4.0",14,[408],[406],"Your One (The Henderson Family Saga #19)","bdf00cc2-d49a-446c-8627-69647bcbfb08",{"_17":362,"_303":363,"_364":384},"Feb 2024","2024-02-02","8297-your-one-the-henderson-family-saga-19","Professional basketball player, Nate Guillory, has a good life. He enjoyed his childhood as the only child in a single-parent home. There is only one thing he feels he missed out knowing his father. Although he had a great upbringing, he feels that it is his right to know the identity of his father and why they weren’t afforded the opportunity to have a relationship. Because his mother isn’t as forthcoming with information, Nate seeks out rapper, Noah Brooks, who is the bonus son of his now deceased father. Getting to know him through Noah’s eyes only makes him resent his mother for keeping secrets. However, while visiting Noah, amid his recovery from heartbreak, his attention falls on Noah’s sister-in-law, Kenya Zenith. Although she’s in a relationship with someone, Nate makes it clear that she is the woman he wants.

Kenya Zenith tends to avoid the spotlight as much as possible. Being born to a famous singer and musician and having the same for a sister, she likes to keep a low profile. While she doesn’t remember her father, since he died when she was only four years old, she suffers emotionally from his absence, longing for a relationship she was stripped of. As she goes through the motions in an unfulfilling relationship, another man catches her attention. Basketball player, Nate Guillory, in all his glory, seems to be the type of man she’s longed for. However, she knows she has loose ends to tie up before giving in to his pursuit of her.

Drama is the last thing Nate or Kenya want to tolerate, but it finds their addresses.

He takes on those roles when his father gets incarcerated for hideous crimes that are still bothering him ten years later. Jakari is so busy taking care of those he loves he forgot that he needed care too. Anger, guilt, and hurt have guided his life’s trajectory, and he doesn’t know any other way to be. So when he has to pick up his cousins from school and runs into librarian, Yendi Odom, he doesn’t know how to handle her. His attempts to get what he wants, like he does with other women, prove to leave him unsatisfied. For the first time in over ten years, he wants more. He wants a relationship with her, but he realizes that isn’t something he’s mentally or emotionally ready for.

Yendi nurturer and caregiver…

She doesn’t know those roles fit her until she meets Jakari Bolton. Running from drama with her family, she ends up in a small town working as the librarian at the high school. Her decision to move where she doesn’t have any familial ties or friends, while grieving the loss of her father, proves to be harder than she thought it would be. However, when she meets Jakari through two of her students, she knows he’s the one that will change her life. Almost love at first sight, Yendi commits to Jakari and to helping him through his issues without reciprocity. That decision has left her confused, but she’s sure about the way he has swept her off her feet.

Jakari and explosive, passionate, and emotion-filled…

The emotions between the two are strong from the very beginning and neither of them know how to explain it. Both dealing with heavy issues, they lean on one another for healing and solace. Jakari has a hard time with that though, because he believes Yendi deserves better. She deserves a man that is ready to love her through anything. Yendi believes he deserves her and more importantly, that she deserves him and everything he has to offer.

The push and pull gets overwhelming, despite Yendi’s devotion. She begins to question her decisions and doubts that a relationship with Jakari is feasible. Can Jakari come to grips with his issues in time to claim Yendi’s love for him? Or will he allow anger, hurt, and guilt to continue to consume him, leaving no room for the love his soul needs?

Vida Indigo Coles left the town she grew up in to not only pursue her education and escape her small, country town, but to also escape the reputation she is rumored to have. One lie seems to turn into a thousand and Vida needs a fresh start. She is able to get that and has settled into her career as a nurse in Dallas once she finishes college. However, twenty years later, a turn of unfortunate events brings her back to her hometown. After being home for a month, she runs into a handsome brother that melts her insides. But once she finds out his age, it threatens to end them before they can even get started.

Playing the field had been Aston Martin Eldridge’s favorite pastime. He isn’t looking for a woman to settle down with. He’s simply enjoying life the way it’s handed to him. One fateful evening, after a long day of working on cars, he meets a woman that has him wanting to change his ways. Despite the noticeable age difference, Aston knows that he wants to experience every part of her. Pursuing her proves to be difficult, because not everyone thinks they are a good match.

Keeping up with appearances for the people watching only makes her sink in despair. There is only so much Aston can do to try to convince her to give him a chance to prove they are meant to be. Will she let go of her fears and succumb to the way Aston makes her feel?
