Bittersweet — Book One of The Brooks Legacy Series
Zari Brooks walked away from the man she thought she'd marry, rebuilt her life on her own terms, and planned to never love again.
What she didn't plan for was Anthony Williams. Steady where she's scarred. Unafraid of the sharp edges she's learned to protect. The kind of man who makes her question everything she decided about love.
But the closer she lets him in, the more the past refuses to stay quiet. Family secrets. Inherited wounds. Legacies nobody asked for.
In Zari's world, healing was never going to be simple.
And love? Love doesn't ask permission.
To everyone who's read Bittersweet: Thank you. Your texts, calls, and conversations about Zari, Anthony, and the Brooks family have meant everything.
If you're on Goodreads or Amazon and have a few minutes, I'd be grateful for a review. It doesn't have to be long. A few sentences about what stuck with you helps other readers find the book.
I would also appreciate it if you told a friend who might enjoy it too.
Word of mouth is everything for debut authors.
