Put It Back In

PUT IT BACK IN: An Overly Loaded Romance

Some men just want enough to get by. Come around only when it's income tax season and find a way to leave when it's daddy duty season. Women know that man. Most of them have loved that man at least once and lived to tell about it. You know. The man you claim to go see about a horse.

Devante Holloway isn't that guy. Well, not quite.

He's a little bit worse. But in the best way possible, especially when a crew of football moms catch him walking onto that field in a pair of gray sweatpants that make you sneak a picture or call your bestie on FaceTime because it's too much to explain. Six feet with the six pack, but the six figures faded when he blew his NFL contract. Chocolate skin, tattoos climbing his throat, fresh home from federal prison and currently on supervised release, and still the most dangerous thing these women had ever seen at a Tuesday afternoon youth football practice.

Easy on the eyes. But toxic, drama, and problems wrapped up in beautiful wrapping paper.

He is not looking for anyone. That does not stop three women from finding him anyway.

One cut her baby daddy off behind this man and was ready to do a whole confession story time TikTok about how bad he had her messed up. Catching feelings wasn't even the word.

One risked her whole marriage, her family, and her 401K for one long good time. One afternoon at the St. Regis in Buckhead nearly cost this woman everything she ever worked for.

And then she vented to the wrong friend. In the wrong group chat. Where it all started as a joke and turned into something way deeper than anybody was prepared for.

In Vante's own words, I'm bout to pull up. And don't ask me to take some out.

Put It Back In is raw, funny, and messy in all the right ways.

If you're a fan of African American romance, married woman temptation, women's fiction messy drama, urban relationship drama, toxic love, and dangerous attraction, then Put It Back In is one you'll want to read.
