"Swagger by Ms Nikki, is very well written and a must read story. When I started reading this I couldn't put it down, I just knew I had to finish it. This story is about true love and how love will conquer all if you believe in it." Tiffany, Goodreads
Description:
Nine years, two lives, one love.
We all have dreams. Mine were filled with college and the boy I loved, Cruz Montoya. But all that went up in smoke when he got sent to juvenile hall, my sister killed herself, and Dad up and left. My mother, and I use that term loosely, became a monster, transferring her pains and disappointment. I became trapped.
Honorably discharged, I'm back in Arlington Heights, the small town that only remembers the black sheep persona of my youth. I could list a dozen reasons for my return, but the only one that matters is Roxanne Waters. I should probably leave her be. I'm not much of a catch with PTSD and the childhood memories rattling around in my brain. Yet, I can't walk away. There's a darkness that surrounds the death of her sister, a secret that's slowly killing her. I'm going to find out everything. This is the moment of truth to see if we can make it or if I'm nine years too late.
How did you come up with the concept and characters for the book?
For Swagger I was just thinking about how much my mom alone had to deal with while she was in the military. My father was medically retired, however he’d served in the Vietnam War and my mother did 20 plus years. Both are heroes to me as are all those who serve even if it is only four years.
Finesse (#2)
Indelible scars and memories chase us like ghosts.
He was supposed to be coming home. But not like this, never like this. I'd always dreamed that one day Quinton Grayson would be mine. Now he's back and we're both dealing with paralyzing guilt. Does wanting him make sense when I have the responsibility to take care of my nephew? Quinton is holding back; dare I find out why?
When you're on the sand, you're supposed to leave everything there. Unfortunately, I've brought it back to Arlington Heights and Lyric Scott's doorstep. My body reveals all the scars for everyone to see, but the ones on my soul are graver.
Will she even look my way? What can I possibly offer her other than to keep the promise I made to her brother, my best friend who I couldn't bring back?
We're a ready-made family now, how can I walk away? But how can I allow her to deal with the demons at my door?

Thanks so much for having me!
@Author Nikki Prince - it is our pleasure to present your work. Swagger seems to combine the entertainment of a romance story with real issues and a little bit of mystery which is great.
sounds interesting
Sounds like a great read and I love the cover! Thanks for sharing it with me and have a spectacular holiday season!
This sounds really good and it's one of my go to genres.
Nikki Prince is new to me, but I love meeting new authors. I love her book covers. Thanks to this blog for the introduction.
I'm pretty picky when it comes to books I will and can read. They usually don't hold my attention, but this right here is something I'd love to dive into.
This sounds like a really good, deep story.
I like the book details.
The book although about possibly finding love again sounds like their will be much angst and pain. Probably an interesting one to read.
I love the book details they sound great
