The Date 3: An African American Romance
Tonya Anders

In their world, respect and loyalty aren’t just words—they’re a way of life. A sacred code. The thin line between survival and death.
Dekker knows better than anyone how fast life can flip on you. One decision, one mistake, one misplaced trust can change everything. A man who wears two masks—one for the world and one for the war inside him—Dekker no longer has the luxury of hiding his demons. He must decide to confront them head-on or risk losing everything he’s fought to protect.
The man he thought he had to be—the one who played it safe, who stayed two steps ahead—is dead. To protect the woman he knows is his, Dekker must finally embrace the man he truly is. The one built for war. Built for blood. Built for love.
He has to find peace with the violence that comes with the cut on his back and the fire that refuses to die in his heart.
But when old ghosts start rising and new enemies move in closer, the weight he carries might finally push him past the point of no return...
Or it might forge him into something even deadlier.
