A Family of Her Own
Ashanti Walker has always believed that if she could just hold everything together, she might finally build a life where she belongs. But when her last chance at motherhood is threatened, she's forced to confront a truth she's spent years avoiding—some things can't be controlled.
Derek Moore learned that lesson the hard way. Haunted by grief and burdened by guilt, he has turned away from the future he once planned—and from the faith he once trusted. The embryos he and his late wife created now represent everything he wishes he could forget.
But when Ashanti steps back into his life, asking for the one thing he's determined to let go, their fragile peace begins to unravel. Drawn together by loss, faith, and a connection neither of them expected, they must navigate the tension between holding on and letting go—because sometimes, the very thing you're afraid to trust God with is the very thing He's asking you to surrender.
And sometimes, love is where that surrender begins.

Reluctantly His
He was her nemesis. Falling for him wasn't part of the plan.
Eboni Washington has spent her life being exactly who everyone expects her to be—until she decides she's done. Determined to break free from the expectations that come with being a preacher's daughter, Eboni has built a life on her own terms. Successful, independent, and done playing by anyone else's rules, the last thing she needs is a man complicating her carefully curated freedom—especially one like Rod Hayes.
Rod has a reputation—and he's earned every bit of it. Brilliant, ambitious, and determined to build his own law firm, Rod is one deal away from securing the future he's been working toward. There's just one problem: his biggest investor believes in stability, commitment… and family values. Which is how Eboni finds herself agreeing to a fake engagement with the one man who represents everything she refuses to become.
What begins as a carefully negotiated arrangement quickly turns complicated as old assumptions are challenged, unexpected truths come to light, and the line between pretending and something real begins to blur. Because the man Eboni thought she had figured out may not be the man he's becoming. And the life she thought she wanted may not be the one she was created for.
As faith begins to reshape what they thought they knew about themselves—and each other—Eboni and Rod must decide if what started as a lie could lead them to something real. Or cost them everything.

Becoming Noah's
He broke her once. She'll never give him the chance to do it again.
Jasmine Jones has built a life she refuses to lose. Focused, independent, and in control, she's created a future on her own terms—one where she never has to depend on anyone again. Especially not a man who once proved he couldn't be trusted.
She's already learned that lesson. The hard way.
So when Noah Blake walks back into her life—changed, determined, and asking for another chance—Jasmine already has her answer. No.
Years ago, Noah was the one person who broke through her defenses… and the one who hurt her deeply enough to make sure no one ever would again. Now he's back, claiming he's not the same man. Too bad she's not the same woman.
Because Jasmine has moved on. She's chosen a life that's safe, steady, and certain—even if it doesn't make her heart race. But Noah isn't willing to walk away this time.
And the more he fights for her, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth she doesn't want to face—that the man standing in front of her may not be the one she left behind. As past wounds collide with present choices, Jasmine must decide if holding on to the pain that protected her is worth losing the love that could heal her.
Because forgiveness isn't weakness. It's surrender. And sometimes, the hardest thing to trust isn't love… It's God.
