If this is your thing: “This er0tic romance is recommended for vampire lovers who like multiple partners with the female as the gooey center.”

Then you need to check out The Long Night: books2read.com/thelongnight

NY State, 1851. A story about summoning your courage, finding your power—even when the world tells you you're powerless—and using it to make the world a better place.

(No parallels to modern life there.) 😂

Jack had to swallow past the lump in his throat, had to force himself to set one foot in front of the other to move towards the gate.

Looking for a Black Romance Banger?

These books are full of folks falling in and out of love, making mistakes, and figuring it out. Steamy, snarky, seasoned romance written for readers who like it grown and sexy.

#BlackBookSky

A warm, intimate photo of a Black couple at a restaurant. The man leans in close, whispering in the woman’s ear as she smiles. Text over the image reads: “Looking for a Black Romance Banger?” in elegant white script.

A teal and orange graphic featuring a dialogue excerpt from The Never List by DL White. A 3D image of the book cover shows a woman in a green sweater peeking over the neckline.
Text:
"Can you do that? Date him and work on the contract?"
I shrugged. "We're not dating. We're hanging out."
"Unh huh. Dancing on rooftops and riding Ferris wheels." Jada's eyes rolled skyward. "So, you think you like him? He got you up on a roof, so I guess so."
"I'm...kind of thinking that he might be The One. I don't mean my soulmate. But I mean..."
"You're trying to decide if you're going to ff#ck him."

BOOKSBYDLWHITE.COM/NEVERLIST

Alt text: A turquoise and dark brown graphic with a romantic excerpt from Leslie’s Curl & Dye by DL White. The 3D book and tablet cover show a smiling Black woman with natural curls.
Text:
A torrent of emotion and long buried attraction punched me in my chest and rushed through my body so quickly, so fiercely. It took me by surprise.
I inhaled deeply, sucking in a steadying breath before I addressed him.

"Evening, KC. I'd have thought your shop would be too busy for you to be over here, checking out your competition."
He smiled, quietly laughing. "I mean, with all due respect, Leslie..." KC shrugged and gestured toward the small salon. "You're not my competition."

BOOKSBYDLWHITE.COM/CURLDYE

Alt text: A brown and tan graphic with a witty exchange from Brunch at Ruby’s by DL White. The book and tablet covers show three smiling Black women against a deep red background.
Text:
"If I could go back in time..."
"Would you still have an affair?" asks Maxine.
Debra shrugs a shoulder and shyly admits, "I would love to say no, but David showed me some things."
Maxine snorts. "I bet he did."

3 more chapters to revise, and it's off to the editor!

Oh, and I should probably write the epilogue.

This is the most difficult part of the process...I'm going to be so sad to let these characters go!❤️😢

Jack heard the muted thump the moment he opened the front door. By the time he was inside and had turned off the alarm, Winston was twining around his ankles.

What's a girl to do when she's snowed-in w/ the man she's hated since childhood? Add manure to the coals laid in his fireplace, wear trousers, & play piano horribly. Oh...& kiss him passionately.
