MOMENT OF TRUTH

ESMEE has built a life she’s proud of—running her own coffeehouse, curating soulful poetry nights, and staying laser-focused on her success. Love? Not part of the plan.

But when a night out brings her face-to-face with LYNX—her old college study partner turned thriving contractor—everything shifts.  Back then, he was too shy to say how he felt. Now, he’s confident, successful, and still carries a torch for her that she never knew burned.

When she hires him for a major renovation, it’s supposed to be all business. But Lynx has waited long enough, and this time, he’s not backing down.

MOMENT OF TRUTH is a second-chance romance about ambition, timing, and the kind of love that never lets go.

This story is full of laughter, family, roots, and bonds. It’s a sweet sexy story that uplifts, inspires, and celebrates love, raw truth and honesty and perfectly blends in music and poetry therapeutically and metaphorically
