Meant to Be: A BWWM Friends to Lovers Romance (Loving A Morrison Book 1)

Sloane Stevenson has always had a skewed concept of what love is. Her first memories of it are of her parent’s marriage, which crumbled during her childhood. To add to her dismal notion of love, she watched firsthand as her grandparents drifted away, which Sloane attributed to their disapproval of her parent’s interracial marriage. But now, Sloane, an intelligent attorney with a heart brimming with compassion, finds herself repeating history when she falls in love with Blake Morrison, a Caucasian man, with his smoldering gaze, who makes her dreams take flight. Although Sloane’s heart yearns for him, their relationship is bombarded with verbal attacks, and her past experiences only serve to reinforce her idea that interracial marriages never work. She even contemplates online dating. But then Blake gets into a serious accident and, suddenly, she’s forced to confront her true feelings and realizes their love is worth any obstacle. Unfortunately, it seems Blake has also had a change of heart.

Five years pass and the pair has not set eyes on one another since Blake left town. However, some things are not meant to live in the past. His brother’s bachelor party is the wake-up call he needs to return to town to chase down his lost love. Unbeknownst to Sloane, her best friend works alongside Blake to finally get the pair back together. But the obstacles and societal demands haven’t changed in the past five years. Sloane must overcome her distorted beliefs about love and need to play love safe if she’s to find true love and happiness with Blake. Otherwise, they’re both destined for a life of emptiness.
