Welcome to Preto Village, a beautiful black community where everybody knows your business and has no qualms about sharing it…

For Charadee, life up north had long become stale and stagnant. It was time for change and adventure. Buying a house in the tiny town of Preto seemed the thing to do. Change and adventure weren’t supposed to include a man, though.

Enter Dr. Keegan Francois... He’s Preto’s most eligible bachelor. Born and raised in the town, there are certain expectations on his shoulders that an outsider won’t fit in to. Will he conform to the expectations, or learn to live for his own desires?",{"_28":107,"_27":108,"_109":110,"_111":75},176,"June 20, 2020","June 20","B08BKT644K","#250d29",[],[],"https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/282i/a45de1c8-3a2e-45dd-965b-aea625843158.jpg","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F282i%2Fa45de1c8-3a2e-45dd-965b-aea625843158.jpg",{"_28":42,"_27":43,"_44":45,"_114":-5,"_115":-5,"_31":116,"_117":196,"_46":47},[119],"isLoggedIn",["P",198],"result",{"_15":207,"_17":208,"_13":209,"_210":211,"_19":212,"_213":214,"_21":215},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_226":75,"_227":75},{"_23":24,"_25":216,"_27":207,"_217":218,"_219":220,"_19":212},"Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[221,222,223,224,225],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
