Grieving and starting over, a marketing research manager finds herself drawn to the one man she shouldn’t want in this soul-stirring, unconventional romance by BriAnn Danae. Shyriq Hendricks is no stranger to success. As the heir to a legacy distillery and a man with wealth, status, and discipline, he’s built a life most would envy. But in the quiet moments when he’s not managing his multi-million-dollar empire, he’s aware that something is missing. Then Nhuri Coleman steps into his life . . . Nhuri has her reasons for keeping a low profile after relocating to Kansas City for a reset. After a chance encounter with Shyriq—the reserved but undeniably attractive owner of Great Hendrix Distillery—she accepts a job she hadn’t been pursuing, offered by a man who sees her worth before she’s ready to believe in it herself. She expects a steady check and a quiet routine, but what she experiences is undeniable soul-stirring chemistry. Their early exchanges are strictly professional. But the way he watches, listens, and shows up without expectation catches her off guard. Just as their connection begins to deepen, the sudden death of her father pulls Nhuri back into the past. Shyriq, not one to chase, finds himself wanting more than just her time—he wants her trust. And he learns quickly that loving someone who’s learned to survive alone isn’t about fixing them. It’s about staying when everything else says leave.

Her first novel Speechless: When Love Hurts released in January 2016, and since, she has enhanced her catalog claiming over 40 titles to date. With the help of her colorful imagination and amazing readers, each tale has marked the Amazon charts as a bestseller. A lover of everything romance and what it entails, BriAnn beautifully merges complex urban socio-economic realities into her writing, and presents her novels in a way her readers can relate. Though fictional, she grasps the attention of her audience, snatches their breath away with each page, and leaves them yearning for more by the end of the book. A lasting impression of her work is what BriAnn strives to leave behind once the readers close out the pages of any book she pens. The Urban Romance genre – as she calls it – isn’t just butterflies in your stomach, or dark and gritty, as described by the internet. She classifies her writing as soul snatching, heart yearning, chest throbbing, and downright some of the most exhilarating literature one could grace their eyes upon.
