“Nappily Ever After” is the first novel in the “Nappily” series and was released in 2000. What happens when you throw tradition right out the window and really begin living for yourself?

Venus Johnston has got a beautiful home, a great job, and Clint, a loving live-in boyfriend that just so happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous doctor. She’s also got a weekly beauty parlor date with Tina, who keeps Venus’ processed and long hair straight and slick. However when Clint, who has been hesitant to commit over the previous four years, brings a puppy home rather than an engagement ring, Venus figures it’s time to give all of it up. She trades her long hair in for a dramatically natural and short cut and sends Clint packing.

It is a rather bold declaration of independence, one which has effects that she never could possibly have imagined. Reactions from her coworkers and friends range from contempt to concern to outright condemnation. And once Clint moves on and begins to date a long haired and voluptuous beauty, Venus is forced to question what she truly wants out of her life. With resilience, wit, and a ton of determination, she learns what real happiness is finally, and on her on terms.

“Would I Lie to You?” is the second novel in the “Nappily” series and was released in 2004. Venus feels as though history is repeating itself, and she is not loving it. She ended her relationship with Clint because of his inability to commit, cut her long hair off, and started off on a new path with her new boyfriend.

However she’s now been with Airic for over two years now, and they’ve still not set a wedding date. Venus is headed out to Los Angeles for this temporary project, and welcomes the chance to spend more time with her family in California and to see if her being absence makes Airic’s heart grow just a little bit fonder.

However in LA, ambitious and savvy Venus runs into a new complication, in the form of a former rap star, the equally ambitious and savvy Jake Parsons, who’s now a clothing designer. The guy is just as suave as he is successful, not to mention ten years younger than she is. Venus’ job is to create a marketing campaign for his urban wear. Jake’s job, it would appear, is to distract her from her long distance romance with Airic.

Venus’ mom gets diagnosed with breast cancer, and her whole entire world appears to crumble. Everything that she believed would make her happy: her successful career, her new look, and her fiance do not fix the emptiness and sadness she feels. Yet before she tosses in the towel, she is offered another chance, an opportunity for change, growth, and possibly for new love. Is she going to take it? Or give in to the notion that her life is always going to be close yet no cigar? This is one woman’s happy and lighthearted tale about giving in rather than giving up.

“What Passes As Love” is the second stand alone novel and was released in 2021. One young woman pays a devastating price for freedom, in this breathtaking and heartrending novel of the nineteenth century South.

She knows the dangers of being found out, and knows that she’ll never have this opportunity at freedom ever again.

Dahlia, while ensconced in the Ross mansion, quickly finds herself being held prisoner in a whole new way, being the dutiful wife of some young man that has his sights set on a political future. However when Bo shows up on the estate in shackles, she decides to risk it all to save the guy’s life. With suspicions of her real identity growing and the bounty hunter not too far behind, Dahlia has to act quickly or pay quite the devastating price.
