But when he disappeared, she came crashing down to earth. Now he's back with some wild tale about having been undercover to take down a Miami mob-boss -- which means he's either big trouble or flat-out crazy, and either way Tyanna should let him go. But damn if the man doesn't still make her heart race and her body ache with wanting him! Sheldon should never have returned -- and now he's put his sweet woman in serious danger! But living without Tyanna's loving would not be living. Though she doesn't believe a word of his story, that doesn't make the threat less real -- and he'll protect his ebony queen to his last breath. But will she still want him when she realizes that taking a chance on this love means risking a lot more than her heart?
"Tell me you love me, baby girl. Tell me this is real." Phoenix was my kryptonite. My weak spot. My indulgence. After she left me, I was broken beyond repair. I didn't think I would ever feel whole, again. But then she came back. And all my broken pieces started to piece back together, again. When the lies and secrets she's kept from me come between us, I don't know where to turn, anymore. Everything I've been taught tells me that she's dangerous. That I should be running for the hills when she tells me who she really is. But my love for her doesn't care about the risk. My heart was hers a long time ago. There was no changing that. For better or worse, I wanted her. That doesn't mean our story will be an easy one to tell. Our love might not make it through this unscathed. Only time will tell.

“The most crucial relationship advice book since Men Are from Mars.”—Erin Meanley, Glamour.com A groundbreaking, interactive relationship tool that literally places in the hands of couples the power to transform chronically frustrating relationship dynamics. We've all been there. A conversation with a loved one escalates into conflict. Voices rise to a fever pitch and angry, accusative words fly through the air. At times like these, it seems impossible to find the magic words that will lead to healing. Enter Talk to Me Like I'm Someone You Love. A psychotherapist with decades of experience in counseling couples, Nancy Dreyfus hit upon the revolutionary practice outlined in this book during a couples-therapy session in which a wife’s unrelenting criticism of her husband was causing him to become emotionally withdrawn. In the midst of this, Dreyfus found herself scribbling on a scrap of paper, “Talk to me like I'm someone you love,” and gestured to the husband that he should hold it up. He did and within seconds the familiar power differential between the two shifted, and a gentler, more genuine connection emerged. Dreyfus was startled, then intrigued, and then motivated to create a tool that could help others. This book features more than one hundred of Dreyfus's "flash cards for real life," written statements that express what we wish we could communicate to the person we love, but either can't find the right words or the right tone in which to say it. The statements include: • Taking responsibility: "I realize I'm overreacting. Can you give me a minute to get sane again?" • Apologizing: "I know I've really hurt you. What can I do to help you trust me again?" • Loving: "You are precious, and I get that I haven't been treating you like you are." A one-of-a-kind, practical relationship tool, Talk to Me Like I'm Someone You Love will help couples to stop arguing and begin healing.
