Monica Hayes was not looking for love.
She was looking for lemon pepper wings, a decent parking spot, and enough peace to make it through another long day of clients, family drama, and pretending she was perfectly fine being single.
Then Eric Miller walked into Big Ray’s.
Tall, fine, calm, protective, and way too intentional, Eric was the kind of man Monica usually avoided on purpose. He had a smooth voice, a grown-man presence, and a way of making her feel safe that scared her more than any red flag ever could.
Eric wasn’t looking for a fling either. He was building his businesses, protecting his family, and trying to turn his lounge, Loyalty, into something positive for the block. But the moment he met Monica, something in him knew she was different.
Their connection is fast, funny, sexy, and undeniable.
But love on the block never comes without noise.
Between messy ex-friends, viral drama, family problems, business setbacks, and Monica’s fear of being played again, their new romance is tested before it even has time to breathe. Monica wants to trust him, but trusting a man who feels too good to be true is not easy when life has already taught her to keep her guard up.
Eric knows what he wants.
And what he wants is Monica.
Not halfway.
Not secretly.
Not only when it is easy.
He wants to love her loud, loyal, and all the way home.
Loved From the Block is a sexy, funny, heartfelt urban rom-com about instant chemistry, emotional healing, hood drama, and the kind of love that shows up when you least expect it.
