Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HE’S ALWAYS WANTED HER. Nick Tyler had done the noble thing twenty years ago by pushing Robin Patton away when she’d been a teenager with a crush on an older man. Then life had taken them in different directions. But Robin is back in Masterson now. As gorgeous, tempting and intriguing as ever. Nick is never going to survive. WOW. SOME MEN SERIOUSLY GOT BETTER WITH AGE… Nick Tyler is definitely one of them. After one week working with him Robin came up with a plan. No touching Nick, no falling for Nick, and definitely no kissing Nick. It just isn’t safe. Besides, Robin is far too busy raising three kids on her own to even think about a relationship with a man like Nick...right? But staying away from him is just so hard to do. She is doing good at resisting temptation—until one day at work…when there is a knock on the door. A social worker stands there—holding the hand of a little girl. A little girl who is all alone now. A little girl with Tyler blue eyes, and the word daddy on her lips. Uh-oh. Robin knows exactly what's about to happen... HE HAS A DAUGHTER HE DOESN’T KNOW. He’d been robbed of six years of his daughter’s life—he hadn’t even known she’d existed. But Nick has her with him now, where she belongs. Seeing Nick's determination to be the best father he can be has Robin falling even harder. Changing her plans. Just a little. Because someone needs to help him. And it is going to be her. But somehow helping Nick just keeps turning into kissing Nick. And Robin doesn't want to stop...

Book excerpt: An Instant New York Times Bestseller! Winner of the Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe for New Talent Author Award Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy reinvents the King Arthur legend and “braids together Southern folk traditions and Black Girl Magic into a searing modern tale of grief, power, and self-discovery” (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles). After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC–Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape—until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus. A flying demon feeding on human energies. A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down. And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts—and fails—to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw. The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates. She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets—and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down—or join the fight.

But these humble beginnings gave Samuels access to Hollywood's A-list and led to her eventual focus on the world of black entertainers.
