USA Today bestselling author Danielle Allen is back with the first book in her hot new sports romance series, where love isn't just win or go home; it's win or lose everything.

Nova Thomas was one of the best athletic trainers in the country. When she noticed Defensive Tackle Jay Channing moving differently on the field, she offered him some advice.

That did not go well.

The rude exchange left her speechless so Nova decided to confront him.

And that made things worse.

But when an injury took Jay out for the season, he knew he needed the best for his recovery if he was going to reclaim his spot on the team. And Nova was up for the challenge. Soon, between the late nights and private sessions, it was impossible to keep their feelings hidden or their desires tamed.

But there are strict policies that forbade a player and trainer from crossing the line. Nova and Jay were professionals and would not risk their careers.

Would they?

Anissa Dent is experiencing heartbreak like none she’s ever felt. Her husband of nearly twenty years has fallen victim to crack cocaine after a devastating loss. All her efforts to help him have failed, and to protect herself and her sons, she divorces him and has him removed from their home. That doesn’t stop him from popping in and out of their lives with promises of getting clean. Anissa desperately wants to move on in her life, but her love for what once was is holding her back. However, attending a family barbeque with her son proves to be the restart she desperately needs. The host penetrates her exterior and has her questioning why she’s been single for the last fifteen years with someone like him available.

Grief can be a hard thing to overcome. Sheldon Berotte has been grieving the loss of his wife for nearly twenty-five years, not giving another relationship a second thought. When she dies during childbirth, he is left to raise their five children, all under the age of ten, alone. His in-laws all live out of town, so help was minimal. However, he stepped up to the plate and devoted his life to his children. Now that they are grown, they are worried about him. He has lost his ability to even entertain other people, nearly becoming a recluse. The only thing that gives him purpose is volunteering as security at one of the local high schools. Allowing his children to convince him into having a family barbeque and them inviting some of their friends and their families, is the moment his life changes forever.

Anissa and Sheldon have immediate chemistry that he tries to fight. The feeling of guilt consumes him and threatens to destroy their future before they can even have a present. Can Sheldon let go of the torment guilt is putting him through and embrace the budding relationship between him and Anissa or will he allow her to slip from his fingertips?",{"_353":80,"_33":85,"_415":416,"_417":66},162,"April 8, 2022","April 8","B09W3TYBGV","#182858",[],[],"https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/7456i/01f1d00f-8a12-4da9-931f-8119aafcba61/1788804767.jpg","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F7456i%2F01f1d00f-8a12-4da9-931f-8119aafcba61%2F1788804767.jpg","The Berotte Family","60e92dcf-e486-461c-9242-0e56ca1eaafb",{"_353":459,"_33":281,"_385":460,"_424":20,"_425":-5,"_426":461,"_428":462,"_430":48},"d48348e6-1bdb-4417-b68c-0e81f9e73265","323-monica-walters",96,[431],"50c39878-dbad-4344-83db-2bfcee2a5708",5763,"4.26",53,[],[487],"Nothing Without You","1142e283-0c62-41f7-b71d-cacbd5d2b90f",2026,"Aug 2026","2026-08-26","5873-nothing-without-you","I needed a temporary home.

Keegan gave me a permanent one . . .

After a pipe burst in my home, I need somewhere for me and my three-year-old son to lay our heads, but it’s hard for me to accept help . . . Especially from Keegan Slater. Not only is he the finest man I’ve ever laid eyes on, but he’s also my boss. And not just my boss, but he owns the tech company I work for.

He’s also a bully.
A bit touched in the head.
And he doesn’t take no for an answer.

So, when he finds out we need a place to stay, he insists I move in with him. Our sons are already inseparable, and Keegan and I are already friendly with each other, so what’s the worst that can happen?

It started at a masquerade ball …

All I needed to do was show up to the ball, give my perfectly rehearsed speech, and seal this new sponsorship deal for my brother.

It was supposed to be simple, but when the Phantom of the Opera lifts his mask, my heart sinks.

Not only is it not who I intended, it’s much worse.

Max Ferreira. My brother’s new F1 teammate … and biggest rival.

He’s nothing more than a flirt whose only interest in me is to get underneath my brother’s skin.

Max shouldn’t unravel me the way he does.

But I’m nothing if not loyal.

I don’t care how much his eyes light up when he sends me that crooked smile.

Or how carefully he listens, like no one else, when I talk about my true passions.

And, not even when he’s the one to encourage me to go after what I truly want out of life.

None of that is enough to make me disloyal to my family.

Doing so would break my own heart.

Or would it?

It started at a masquerade ball and ended with me falling for my brother’s biggest rival.

I built my career by being the best defense attorney in the city. There was never a case I couldn’t win, and if I couldn’t, I wouldn’t take it on.
But in the case of my heart versus the gentle, loving, ruthless, unhinged Emery Aldana, it was one case I knew I’d never win. Our love story started off strong, immense, and passionate. My young heart was trapped by this human force—until I discovered his dark secret that ultimately destroyed our once fiery love story.

Count On Me is a secret lovers romance set during a fictional mayoral campaign. It isn’t affiliated with or intended to represent any real political party or ideology. The campaign is the backdrop. The romance is the heart.

Rayne Webber never expected that the man she shared one unforgettable night with would show up in her town—on the other side of her mayoral race.

Enter Dakarai Ramos.

Her plan is solid:
Ignore the fine campaign strategist and his crisp pocket squares.
Ignore the inconvenient kitty flutters.
Win the election.

She’s structured, disciplined, and focused. This should be easy.

It isn’t.

A debate meeting turns into a steamy battleground. Chance encounters keep blurring the lines until they finally break down and agree to a secret relationship. They’re one misstep away from a “Sleeping With The Opposition” headline blowing up their careers. But unable to resist each other, they risk it anyway—stealing moments in discreet locations around town, escaping to a secluded lake house, and sharing late-night phone calls that deepen their connection.

Then a scandal hits.

The fallout tests Dakarai’s loyalty to his candidate and threatens to tank Rayne’s campaign.

In a high-stakes world where the final race is decided by a strict ballot count, the real win might not be a political title at all…

It might just be finding that someone you can always count on.

TK Fletcher is a Louisiana-based indie author who writes Black romance and romantic suspense. Her love for storytelling began in high school during the Wattpad days, where writing became a creative outlet long before she considered becoming a published author.

After losing her mother in 2025, TK decided it was time to stop keeping her stories to herself and share them with the world. She made her author debut in April 2026 with Worth the Risk.

TK writes about Black love in all its forms, with stories filled with complicated relationships, family, humor, real-life conversations, a little drama, and plenty of spice. Her characters aren’t perfect. They make mistakes, grow, fall in love, and figure life out along the way.

Outside of writing, TK holds multiple degrees and is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

I manage. I plan. I keep moving.
I’m a Black woman. That’s what we do.

But when my car dies on a Canadian roadside on the way to a romance conference, panic hits before logic can catch up. I’m the one people call when things fall apart. I don’t know what to do when there’s no one to hand the problem to.

Then Eli shows up.
Too good to be true.
Book-boyfriend good.

Quiet. Observant. Built like he fixes problems with his hands instead of words. Skin so rich and carefully tended it makes a woman wonder what else he takes his time with.

So when he offers me a deal I can’t refuse—one week with no armor, in exchange for my tech brain solving a problem he can’t muscle through—I do something I’ve spent years avoiding.

I give in.
I let go.

But since Eli is the kind of man who doesn’t push. Doesn’t rush. He simply makes space and allows the quiet to invite you in. In that space, I remember what it feels like to stop bracing for impact.

I agreed to release my cape for one week.
I calculated the risk of staying.
What I didn’t calculate or account for was the cost of leaving.

Priscilla Iyana “Pinki” Santana has never been the type to let disrespect slide. She’s loud, spoiled, dangerous, and fiercely loyal. She handles betrayal with fire and leaves the consequences for everybody else to clean up.

Sincyr is a disciplined firefighter who spends his life running toward flames. He knows Pinki is trouble from the moment they meet, but beneath her attitude and reckless behavior is a woman who loves harder than most people can survive. He refuses to fear her, worship her, or let her push him away when things get real.

Their attraction burns fast, but building a future requires more than passion. Pinki must learn that love doesn’t have to be tested through mayhem, while Sincyr has to decide whether he can accept every dangerous piece of the woman who set his world on fire.

ADRIENNE

Life is about new experiences—so being offered the role of Unit Chief of the Profiling and Investigation Unit, was a life-changing decision. Everything is finally falling into place. Or so I thought. When I’m assigned to handle a case that could make or break the future of our department, I discover that there’s more at stake than I ever imagined.

With my partner, Evan Andrews, and our talented team, I’m determined to uncover the secrets threatening everything we’ve worked for. As the case unfolds, I find myself distracted by something unexpected—the undeniable chemistry between Evan and me. He’s everything I never saw coming, especially with those unofficial dates, the secret hot chocolates, and how he makes my heart race when he enters a room.

Love wasn’t part of my plan when I took this job, yet with every passing day, I can’t ignore that our connection feels real—and that terrifies me.

EVAN

My goals are prove myself to the board and continue to serve my community. What was not on my list; completely fall for my partner Adrienne Cross. Adrienne is everything I never knew I needed. She’s strong, brilliant, and captivating in every way. Working alongside her on this high-stakes case makes me want to protect her even more, even if it costs me my life.

This case might be our most dangerous mission yet, but winning Adrienne’s heart? That’s a challenge I never saw coming. Now, I have two solve this case and fight for a future with the woman who is constantly on my mind. But will I succeed or will I fail?

Have you ever felt like you were being watched?

Mila feels that way every time she enters her apartment. She goes to bed each night with a chill down her spine and tingles throughout her body, dreaming of a shadowed man ravishing her in the night.

\n

Her first thought is that she's going crazy... there's no man standing in her closet, waiting until she's asleep to devour her.

\n
\n

But when she wakes up one day with suggestive bruises all over her body with no memory of how they got there, she realizes that maybe her dreams aren't so farfetched.

Moya Collier

No longer able to handle the strain O’Shea’s family business is putting on their marriage, Moya decides to divorce him. For five years, they co-parent their son, Ocean, and Moya holds ill feelings toward Shea. Everyone tells her it is because she still loves O’Shea, but she is in denial. That is until an attempted robbery at her home forces her and Ocean to live with Shea temporarily.

O’Shea Collier

O’Shea didn’t choose JMG. Through the Collier bloodline, JMG chose him. In the end, it results in him losing his wife and having a strained relationship with his father. Despite the divorce, and Moya telling him it is too late, O’Shea cuts his ties and opens his pharmacy. When the attempted robbery happens, O’Shea sees it as an opportunity to have a second chance with his ex-wife. He takes advantage of it while trying to figure out who is after them.

Just as things are getting better between O’Shea and Moya, a disagreement with his father and stepping back into JMG leads to the worst, damaging the second chance O’Shea had. Will history repeat itself, or will the second time around lead to forever?

Fifteen years ago, Xyla Monroe left Thugg’nville with a broken heart, a buried secret, and no intentions of ever coming back.

Then one death forces her home.

Waiting for her is everything she spent years trying to forget, especially Lux, the country boy she loved hard enough to run from. Time may have changed them both, but it did nothing to kill what was left unfinished between them.

\n

The longer Xyla stays, the more the past starts pulling itself apart. Old lies resurface, loyalties shift, and secrets that were supposed to die with the people who kept them begin finding their way into the light.

Xyla thought leaving Thugg’nville was how she survived it. Coming back may prove she never escaped at all.

Abandoned by my parents and left to wander the streets, I could only turn to the one thing I was always good at to feed myself. One chance encounter on the streets pushes me to the brink of defeat but suddenly he crashes into me. His kindness is a spark of hope, but I know secrets that’ll break his heart if the truth ever comes to light. Even though he opens his heart and home to me, I still can’t bring myself to be the source of his pain.

Everyone knows Roman DeLuca.

They call him The Quiet Devil. Ruthless. Feared. Unforgiving. A mafia boss who doesn’t need a voice to command a room—or order someone’s death.

Roman hasn’t spoken since an assassination attempt stole his voice at seventeen. Now, he communicates with his hands, surrounded by men who know better than to mistake his silence for weakness.

And Aria Moretti has just been promised to him.

Terrified of the man she’s been raised to fear, Aria enters their arranged marriage with one advantage Roman doesn’t know she has: She understands every word he says.

Fluent in sign language, Aria pretends otherwise. If Roman believes his new wife can’t understand the conversations happening around her, maybe she’ll learn enough to protect herself.

Except Roman DeLuca isn’t the monster she expected. He’s patient with her. Gentle when he has no reason to be. Protective in a way Aria doesn’t know how to trust. And dangerously, unapologetically obsessed with his new wife. The longer they’re married, the harder it becomes for Aria to keep lying.

But her little deception isn’t the secret that could destroy them.

Aria left her sister behind in her father’s house. And while she is slowly discovering that the Quiet Devil might be the safest man she’s ever known, the person she loves most is still trapped with the one she fears most.

Soon, Aria will have to decide whether to keep protecting the secret she’s carried since childhood... or place it in the hands of a devil who would burn the world down for his wife.

The Quiet Devil is a short arranged marriage mafia romance featuring a disabled MMC, a wounded FMC, an obsessed husband, forced proximity, and hidden secrets.

Yara Fairchild only needed a job. With bills piling up, she was desperate. Gino Grant had built an empire in the streets, but because of his wife’s greed, he was on his way out of his illegal operations and ending his marriage in the most vicious way. Fate brought them together when Yara started working for Gino’s wife.

And when they lay eyes on each other for the first time, Gino doesn’t care if he has to move heaven and earth to have her. There’s not a person, place, or thing that can keep him from giving Yara the life she deserves.

But being with Gino means that Yara will fall for her boss’s husband. The job is her only financial support, and she feels stuck between a rock and a hard place.

She’s terrified to trust him and take the leap. He’s afraid his failing marriage will keep him from who he’s meant to be with.

The problem is, their love is too powerful to ignore, which means that it should be worth the risk . . . right?
