After walking away from her soul-sucking corporate job, Amara Singleton is finally chasing the dream she’s held since childhood—opening a boutique dedicated to her own plus-size clothing designs.

There’s just one problem.

The only storefront she can afford is falling apart and is in desperate need of renovations.

When she unfortunately runs into Theo Sinclair, her childhood best friend—and first love—who disappeared from her life without a trace eight years ago, he makes her an offer she can’t afford to refuse. He’ll renovate the boutique for free… if she gives their friendship another chance.

Working side by side forces them back into the easy rhythm they once shared, and the more time Amara spends with Theo, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings she never truly left behind.

She finds out Theo’s been carrying a life-altering secret for eight years—one that could destroy the fragile second chance they’re building. Now Amara must decide if some wounds are too deep to heal…or if love is worth the risk of breaking her heart all over again.

MONICA HARPER-JORDAN has built the life she's always wanted-her little piece of the American dream.

A respected attorney, devoted wife, and mother, Monica is named partner at a prestigious Black-owned law firm. But the celebration is short-lived. As she steps into her new role and leads a controversial acquisition, old insecurities resurface and tensions inside the firm begin to rise.

Then her assistant disappears.

Days later, the young woman is found dead.

Before Monica can make sense of the loss, her husband-a scientist conducting groundbreaking research-is critically injured in what police call a tragic accident.

Monica wants to believe them.

But too many questions remain unanswered.

As fear spreads across Richmond and a string of unsettling deaths rattles the city, Monica struggles to make sense of everything happening around her. And she knows the lengths some people will go to protect their secrets.

Now she must decide how much she's willing to risk for the answers she desperately needs-before everything she's fought to build is taken from her.

In a chaotic America where some things never change, SOMETHING STOLEN is a literary suspense novel about ambition, grief, family, the horrors we've learned to live with-and the price of refusing to look away.

Audrey Marcus knows she should walk away. From his desire. From the danger. From Zai. But the harder she pulls away, the tighter his hold becomes. What started as temptation has turned into something neither of them can control. Zai has fallen for a woman he was never supposed to want, and loving Audrey only makes him more dangerous. Possessive. Unpredictable. Unwilling to lose her. Audrey may have feelings she refuses to name, but she still has a husband, a daughter, and a life waiting for her beyond Zai's world. And as the truth about the case begins to surface, Audrey realizes the man holding on to her may also be the man dragging her deeper into a war she never knew existed. She wants space now. Zai wants her. And some men don't know how to let go.

G. L. Jaye is my pen name, but storytelling has been a part of me since I was sixteen years old. As a first-generation Caribbean American, I’ve always been drawn to the beautiful complexity of people and the ways our experiences and circumstances contribute to who we are and who we become. My stories live in the messy, emotional gray areas of life where tough lessons are learned, relationships are complicated, and we are faced with difficult choices that can change everything.

I say this because life, for me, has always been messy, morally gray and things never go the way it supposed to go.

My writing blends the rawness of urban and contemporary fiction laced with street-lit, dark psychological thrills, and heavy doses of drama. And you could add complicated relationships, spirituality, and dark romantic suspense into the mix.

I love writing about flawed characters, painful histories, experiences, situations and dangerous love.

When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with family, prioritizing self-care, and getting lost in music, which has always been food for my soul. If my journey proves anything, it’s that it’s never too late to follow your passion.

I’m living proof of that.

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.

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

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.
