Description

Welcome to Oakwood Falls.

This is a town where fathers gather every other Saturday -- coffee in hand, kids underfoot -- holding each other accountable as they navigate love, loss, and second chances.
The Brotherhood of Oakwood Falls is a Black small-town romance series featuring protective single dads bound by lifelong friendship and a shared commitment to family. Each book follows a different man as he finds the woman who challenges his walls, connects with his child, and changes his life forever.
All books are short, steamy reads with no cliffhangers and guaranteed happily-ever-afters. While every story stands alone, readers who start with Book 1 often find themselves binging the entire series.
If you love strong Black male leads, found family, and emotionally satisfying romance, start here.

? Built to Crave

A steamy grumpy x sunshine romance packed with heat, heart, and home renovation sparks.

He builds homes. Not relationships.
But the sexy baker next door is wrecking his routine -- and tempting him to crave more than blueprints and busted drywall.

Jalen Brooks is a grumpy, no-nonsense contractor and single dad who likes his job sites quiet and his life predictable. He's not looking for love, especially not from his newest client -- a bubbly bakery owner with frosting on her cheek and chaos in her wake.

She bakes with love. Fights with fire. And flirts like she means it.
Ivy Carter didn't come to Oakwood Falls to fall for a man who growls more than he talks. But beneath Jalen's flannel and frown is a man who touches her like he's starving -- and protects what's his like a promise.

When late-night renovation meetings turn hot enough to scorch countertops, one thing becomes clear: the chemistry between them isn't just sweet -- it's dangerously addictive.

But Jalen has one rule -- he doesn't bring women into his daughter's world.
And Ivy is sunshine he doesn't think he deserves.

Will their connection crumble under pressure -- or will they build something that lasts forever?
