Persuade

Persuade is a raw, passionate urban romance about what happens when the one person you can't let go is also the only one who truly knows you. Sway is a reformed bad boy with a wild streak and a heart that only beats for Maleeka, the woman he's loved-and lost-more than once. Maleeka is determined to find peace and stability, but Sway's magnetic pull and their explosive chemistry keep dragging her back into his orbit.

When Maleeka tries to move on and marry someone "safe," Sway refuses to let her go, setting off a chain of dramatic, hilarious, and heart-wrenching events. From burning down churches to crashing weddings, Sway's love is as unhinged as it is loyal. But beneath the chaos is a story about healing, forgiveness, and the kind of love that survives heartbreak, betrayal, and time.

With a vibrant cast of family and friends, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and moments that will make you swoon and scream, Persuade is about fighting for your soulmate-even when the world (and your own pride) tries to keep you apart.

If you've ever loved someone so much it scared you, if you believe in second chances, and if you want a romance that's as real as it is wild-this is the book for you.
