Contemporary Black romance · The Verrett, Book 2
Held Over
She hired her first love for forty nights. She's the one who let him go the first time.
Marielle Verrett has spent twelve years buying talent for other people's rooms. Now she's home on Dauphine Street to run the music side of her grandmother's forty-seat New Orleans supper club — and the only bandleader who can fill it Wednesday through Saturday on the money the club actually has is Desmond "Dez" Rideau. Trumpet. Peach Delahoussaye's protégé. The man she cut loose at twenty-two, because keeping the room meant choosing the room.
He takes the run on his own terms: his own band, cash on Thursdays, and the apartment over the bandstand. Forty nights, one flight of stairs away, in front of her family, her staff, and a room full of people who remember them both. Then the note comes due at the bank, a buyer circles the corner, and Marielle catches herself doing the same arithmetic on him she did at twenty-two.
A grown-folks second-chance romance with a Black hero and heroine, live horns, opinionated family, real heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Perfect for fans of Kennedy Ryan and Talia Hibbert.
