Forty-Fine: The Birthday Choice: A Grown & Sexy Memphis Romance

At forty-five, Nyla Simone Lee has everything—beauty, talent, and a chair in one of Memphis’s most exclusive salons. But beneath the gloss and glamour, her heart is a tangle of choices she can no longer avoid.

There’s Gabriel, the younger lover whose charm makes her forget the years between them. Edwardo, the steady accountant upstairs who offers safety and success. And Carter, her childhood friend whose quiet devotion still lingers like a promise unspoken.

As her birthday unfolds, Nyla vows to choose just one. But between temptation, loyalty, and the kind of love that only comes after loss and lessons, she discovers that sometimes the only choice worth making is herself.

Sensual, soulful, and full of Southern heat, The Birthday Choice is a story of womanhood, desire, and rebirth—from acclaimed author Phoenix Rayne.
