Catching Feelings

"Three siblings, three lives, one quest for true love, and a whole lot of drama in between. National bestselling author La Jill Hunt once again tells an entertaining tale as only she can, exploring the ins and outs of what happens when you’re “Catching Feelings.” For some people, the act of finding their soulmate, falling in love, and living happily ever after is inevitable. Sabrina Chambers is determined to be one of those people. She knows that there is a partner out there just as amazing as she is, and when it comes to love, she refuses to settle for less. Sabrina doesn’t have a problem finding a man or keeping one, but when you’re talking about marriage, a girl has to have standards, right? But with three and a half broken engagements in the past five years—all by her choice, of course—it may be time to reevaluate things. Sabrina’s older sister, Tennille, is married. Her husband, Brandon, is a good man with a good job, plus he’s a great provider for his wife and his stepson. The problem is, Tennille isn’t in love with him—never has been and never will be, and after faking the funk for years, she’s miserable. Despite her failing marriage, Tennille’s business is growing. And now, she has the opportunity to expand even more, but she needs a partner to make it happen. The good news is, she’s found one. The bad news is, it’s not the man she married. Is it the one she should have? Their brother Nick has it going on, and he knows it. Being single with no kids, a great job with benefits, and owning his own home makes him a hot commodity, in addition to his being fine as hell. Nick goes through women like bottled water, having no desire to commit to anyone. He made that mistake once, and, although he tried not to, he ended up hurting not only one person but two. Now, the only vow he plans on making is never to allow that to happen again, but he may soon discover that he isn’t as strong as he thought he was."

Family Business 6

"New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber and Essence bestseller La Jill Hunt return with a story of love, money, power, and respect in the next addition of the popular Family Business series. Five years ago, Orlando Duncan created the perfect drug in HEAT. It made the Duncans more than two hundred and fifty million dollars and was on its way to making them billionaires. However, they abruptly stopped manufacturing the drug when it was proven to cause cancer in rats. Yes, even as drug distributors, they still had a moral compass, placing lives over profit despite the overwhelming demand. When Orlando is awakened by an alarm in his old lab, he discovers that not only have all his computers, equipment, and notes been stolen, but the robbers have also taken over a million tabs of HEAT that he’d left behind for future experiments—tabs that he had sworn to his family he would destroy. Dr. Brandi Richardson is one of the most brilliant research chemists in the world, but her propensity for cutting corners led to her firing from both Dow Chemicals and Dupont. She’s now working at CVS as a clerk, but things are about to change for her in a big way. Billionaire Alexander Cora is known as the Moor by business associates and enemies. His company, Cora International, is a publicly traded EU defense contractor. It is also a front for one of the largest weapons, drugs, and illegalcontraband smuggling rings in the world. For some reason, he has set his sights on the Duncan family. That can’t be good, because Alexander plays for keeps, and he has not been known to lose. Niles Monroe, the handsome hit man and Paris Duncan’s one true love, is back from the dead, and it’s only a matter of time before he comes looking for her. These rich and powerful people are on a collision course. When the dust settles, who will still be alive, and who will be on top?"

Black Hamptons

"When a piece of land comes up for sale in this exclusive community, it sparks a war between the Brittons and the Johnsons. It’s old money versus new money, and neither family seems willing to compromise. Will the tension between them shatter any hopes of a peaceful summer? Hidden away near the end of Long Island, New York, is a community where affluent African Americans, their friends, and the wannabes have secretly vacationed for more than 75 years. Unlike the bluffs of Martha’s Vineyard, black folks here own five miles of prime beachfront. With a mix of legacy families, new money, hangers-on, and thirsty developers, drama can never be far behind in a place called … the BLACK HAMPTONS. The Brittons are the owners of Amistad Bank, the nation’s largest minority-owned bank. They consider themselves the “First Family” of the Black Hamptons and have owned their estate home for three generations. Their matriarch, Carolyn Britton, and her two sons, Malcolm and Martin, are not to be played with. They truly embody the Black Hamptons’ old guard and will do whatever they feel is necessary to maintain their place at the top. The Johnsons are relatively new to the Black Hamptons, having summered there only five years. Sometimes they still feel like outsiders, but that might be because Anthony Johnson is viewed as competition by the Brittons. He’s the handsome CEO of Sydney Tech, a company he built from the ground up. Many people consider him the most powerful man in the Black Hamptons, but don’t say that around the Britton boys."
