Synopsis The Goode Sisters by : Takesha Powell

When they were little girls, Kamilah and Denise were always at each other's throats. The fact that they were sisters didn't matter to either one of them. Years later, as they meet at Mama's funeral, they realize not much has changed. Denise is still living her life, hating the ghetto she came from while Kamilah refuses to leave it. The Goode Sisters explores what happens when two strong African-American women dig up dirt on each other, name call and fight in the name of jealousy and deceit. But a deep, dark family secret threatens to pull both sisters into a sleazy, sordid underworld that they may not be ready for. They hash out feelings on everything from the boardroom to the bedroom to how hard it is to still find a good Black man. This humorous novel explains why 'sistas' just can't seem to get along.

Synopsis Dancing With Danger by : Kerrigan Byrne

A brand-new deliciously wicked romance series from USA Today Bestselling Author Kerrigan Byrne. The Goode Girls aren't simply good, they're stunning. Mercy Goode is only truly good at one thing: finding mischief wherever she goes. Such as getting arrested at a murder scene with Raphael Sauvageau, a brutally handsome, ruthless smuggler with a dangerous past and a dubious future. The silver-tongued devil doesn't deserve a lick of her confidence, but she has evidence that he's not the killer. She can't deny that he's relentlessly wicked. Raphael has no time for obsession. He's an empire to run, a murder to avenge, and a plan to save his brother that is likely a suicide mission. But this clever, infuriating bluestocking--who insists she's an amateur sleuth--keeps showing up where she doesn't belong. And for some bloody reason they can't seem to be in the same room without him yanking her into his arms and kissing her until they're both breathless. Power, prestige, and a staggering fortune hasn't filled the abysmal void where Raphael's heart should be... Perhaps what he needs is a night with her. Perhaps what he needs is redemption. Perhaps what he needs is a bit of Mercy.
