Salt & Pepper (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798268217650)

As a DC native, Chris "Boom" King worked to ensure his people weren't overlooked in his hometown's ever-changing landscape. He happily volunteered his time, reinvested his capital, and remained committed to his wife of nineteen years-until a betrayal like no other forced him to relocate to Houston for a hard reset. One where no new friends or relationships became his mantra.

Nia Hobson is an independent go-getter, notorious for prioritizing the needs of others over her own. The early childhood learning center she founded in Houston's Third Ward is her pride and joy. But much like the on-again, off-again relationship she's been stuck in since college, it sparks just as much heartache as it does hope.

A chance encounter forces these two together. And that innocent interaction births an opportunity for something so much more. But will the damage from their pasts be too much to overcome in this new season?
