Zahi was young and living life to the fullest. Then, he was thrust into fatherhood and forced to change his outlook on life, love, and happiness.
The self-proclaimed bachelor did not expect to be swept up in emotions he’d never felt. However, caring for his daughter, Zuri, charged a part of his heart that he thought was dead. The spark awakened a need for more out of life.
From the moment he laid eyes on India, he was drawn to her. The pull was so intense, and no matter how many times he told himself to stay away from her, he just couldn’t follow his own command. Zahi was bewitched.
India is young, smart, and career-driven. Graduating college at sixteen left India with loads of book knowledge, but when it came to actually living as an adult, she operated behind the curve. When Zahi enters her life, India gets a crash course in learning about her body and the feelings that come along with being swept up by a charismatic and charming man. She hopes she can keep up and not be swept away by emotions she’s never experienced.
Zahi and India’s connection starts off sweet and romantic, but when the heat between them is dialed up, their romance becomes scorching. Join them on their fun, sexy, and emotional journey.

Shay Davis

Shay Davis is a wife, mother, and a full-time paralegal. She fights on the behalf of others by day, and creates soul stirring Black love stories by night. The busy streets of Philadelphia raised Shay, but she received her education from schools in the neighboring suburbs. The juxtaposition left Shay labeled as not "hood enough” for the city, or “proper enough” for the suburbs. As refuge, Shay found solace between the pages of her journal, releasing her innermost thoughts and penning her every desire. Her passion for capturing her emotions turned into creating magnetic stories of Black love, and eventually she manifested that passion into becoming a published author.

Juniper Young

From her home studio on the East Coast, Juniper Young has been active in the narration scene part-time for the past four years. Under a different name, Juniper has produced over 70 additional titles. In 2023, Juniper is hoping to expand her narration portfolio and enter the world of narration as a full-time narrator. Her sultry tones and alluring vocal melodies enchant audiobook listeners, making her a natural fit for Romance titles. In her free time, she likes traveling on solo adventures and spending nights out on the town. With a youthful quality to her voice, Juniper often narrates for characters in their late teens (18+) and 20s-though her vocal range proves suitable for characters of varying ages and genders. She loves HEAs, morally gray MMCs, and is a sucker for a bully romance. Juniper Young is a natural fit for romance and her confidence and wry personality shine through in every title she voices.
