Dominic Alexander is my late husband's best friend and the last man on Earth that I should want. He's arrogant, dismissive, and up until recently has only ever used those dark eyes of his to look right through me. For the last twelve years, he's taken a sick pleasure in making me feel paper thin, like my entire existence is of no consequence to him at all.

But now, things are different.

After one drunken night, and a surprisingly sexy act of heroism, he's started to be...nice. Treating me like something other than the physical embodiment of his annoyance, which would be nice if it didn't make me feel all the things I swore to never feel for another man after my husband died.

Sloane Kent is going to be my undoing.

What's worse: I think I'm going to enjoy being unravelled by the gold flecks in her hazel eyes and the adorable little way she scrunches her nose up when we're arguing, which we've done a lot of over the past decade. She thinks it's because I hate her, and I've always let her think that because the alternative is...untenable.

But something is changing between us, and I don't know how to stop myself from breaking every promise I've ever made to myself regarding my best friend's wife. Promises that include never telling her that there's a long list of things I feel about her, but hate isn't one of them.","spice","series_order","average_rating","reviews_count","editions_count","bookmarked","muted","contributors",[],[181],"Restore Me","edition_id","b320fa50-6107-4fe8-9a00-702c6164f2ce","series",{"_21":178,"_131":179,"_180":42},"year",2022,"first_published","Jan 2022","likes_count","collections_count","slug","5-restore-me","format",{"_131":174,"_33":70,"_175":176,"_177":64},"page_count",490,"duration","published_date","January 11, 2022","isbn","asin","B09PF7MQV5","hex_code","#323337","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/5i/b320fa50-6107-4fe8-9a00-702c6164f2ce.jpg","user_review",3,"type","print","audio","New Haven","58c7823f-15c1-4a33-9dc7-74033f7d4c18","order",{"_131":182,"_33":112,"_155":183,"_184":-5,"_185":-5,"_186":38,"_187":188},"6b6856b4-de1e-4154-a33b-ec5c542d14a2","2-jl-seegars","biography","image","books_count","roles",[189],"author","aff8059c-f71d-467f-8a8f-62d55fdf2e81","Still reeling from a messy divorce, kindergarten teacher Venus Thibodeaux is on a self-proclaimed healing journey and adamant that she’s done with love. She’s determined to move on from her toxic past with a fresh start in a new city, but starting over isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Anthony “Nuney” Nunez is young. He’s unpolished, unpredictable, and according to his daughter’s kindergarten teacher—a lousy parent. In fact, the two can’t see eye to eye on anything except the strange attraction they have for each other every time their paths cross.

After Anthony and Venus find themselves on a wild date that shouldn’t have been, they become embroiled in a torrid affair that threatens her healing journey, exposes the secrets in his sketchy life, and makes her question if she’s really done with love after all.

For Nala Stanton, love has not always been kind. She fell in love with a façade, and now she’s desperate to free herself before it’s too late. When opportunity arises, she takes it, even though being found would surely bring her a death sentence. Armed with a new identity and half a million dollars in stolen drug money, she disappears to start a new life for herself.

Ahmad “Play” Pryor isn’t a man of many words. After years of living the street life, all he wants is peace. When his brother Ashton, a private investigator, comes to him with a proposition, Ahmad is hesitant. Telling himself that this would be the last job, he accepts, unaware that this job would change his entire life. From the moment he lays eyes on the beautiful Lila Peterson, formally known as Nala Stanton, he is enthralled beyond his wildest dreams.
