Reid Jackson and Sable Owens lost twelve years to silence and circumstance. Reid is done losing time. When a chance encounter reunites him with the only woman he ever truly loved he doesn't hesitate. He tells her the truth, asks his question and waits. 

Sable has built a life that is entirely and unapologetically hers. She needs a man who can stand in the middle of it and call it beautiful. Not manage it, or try to fix it. 

When Reid asks Sable to marry him instead of an answer she offers him a job — step into her world, learn who she really is, and prove he can handle it. Reid is determined to do exactly that.

She made him, so he decided to keep her.

Blurb: 

Taneka has lived for centuries by three unbreakable rules: feed, move on, and never look back. She has kept those rules across five cities and more lifetimes than she bothers to count, one night she walked into a Harlem jazz club and caught a scent that stopped her cold. It was her scent on a man who should have been dead back in 1948. 

Raymond Hayes was supposed to be easy. One night, one alley, one clean exit, but Raymond survived the attack and built an entire life from the side effects she left behind.  

Her thought was to finish what she started so long ago, but Raymond's intention canceled that idea when he realized who she was.
