Read Around the Way Love: Gardensville Romance Book 1

When Taylor Williams-Jones returns to her grandmother’s home in Gardensville after a marriage of convenience ends in betrayal, she brings more than a broken heart. With her young daughter, a secret that could upend her life, and the weight of everything she left behind—including Ric’Chard “Ricch” Murchinson, the man who once loved her without hesitation—Taylor must navigate love, family, and the past that won’t let go.

Ricch has rebuilt his life after serving six years for a crime he didn’t commit. He focuses on his massage business, healing, and keeping his circle small. But Taylor’s return forces him to confront old feelings, unfinished conversations, and a chemistry that never truly died.

Around the Way Love is a gritty, emotional second-chance romance about community, family, redemption, and the magnetic pull of first love. It blends raw vulnerability, tender moments, and the kind of love that refuses to stay buried.

Perfect for: Fans of contemporary romance, second-chance love stories, African American romance, and family-centered storytelling.
