by Donneil D. Jackson

Chante Chambers is a self-proclaimed princess. She has it all: looks, a body women would pay for, a great career, all the material items a girl could want plus some…all of this maintained by her ex, Jason. Whatever mama wants, Jason makes sure mama gets. The one task he failed at was being faithful. With a toss of a Gucci pump Jason was history. Or so she thought.

Just as Chante was ready to admit defeat in her quest for love, settle for a battery-operated appliance, and give in to the bottle of brown juice in walks a caramel Adonis.

Chante’s new found love has the potential of being a lifelong love affair. Yet a lunch hour spent in between the sheets with a certain ex complicates things, as thoughts of starting their love anew begin running through her mind. What’s a girl to do when she’s torn between two lovers? Does she grab her panties off the floor and vow to never drop them again? Or does she go back for seconds?

Where There’s Smoke

by Terra Little

Alec Avery gets an unwelcome blast from his drug-dealing, street-running past that turns his life upside down. Back in the day, he was known as “Smoke” and Anne Phillips was one of his customers. So how did they end up with a teenage son together? You do the math. Dollars make sense, but Anne didn’t always have the money to pay for what she wanted. Now Alec is paying the price.

These days he’s a military vet and a well-respected high school teacher. Just about the last thing he expects to encounter is a son he never knew he had and a bunch of foolishness that he thought he was done with. His son, Isaiah, is out of control, experimenting with drugs, and running with a rough crowd and the last thing he expects to encounter is a long-lost father who is hell-bent on making his presence felt in a very meaningful way. Soon a tentative but special bond forms between father and son, and the old adage, “Only a man can teach a boy how to be a man,” proves true.

Isaiah has his reasons for acting out and they all come back to his mother and her past. He’s angry with her for being human and using half-cocked teenage logic to get back at her. He doesn’t realize that he’s only hurting himself until it’s almost too late.

Alec realizes it, though, and before long, he has no choice but to come out of hibernation to right some wrongs, starting with the thugs who don’t want to turn his son loose. They didn’t count on old school meeting new school, which is their first mistake.

Just because Alec left the streets years ago, doesn’t mean he’s forgotten what it takes to own them. Anne is the one who is in denial about her past life, he isn’t. His shady past helped make him the respectable man he is today and it also provided him with the leverage he needs to make his presence known, so he can put an end to the nightmare his son desperately wants to wake up from.

After he puts some heads to bed and handles his business with his son, Alec intends to pick up where he left off with Anne…
