South Beach. The Sheridan Series, #2

South BeachBook Two of the Sheridan SeriesLaila Sheridan has ended things with Malcolm Khalid, a charming man with an even more charming way of avoiding responsibility, and she's convinced that a girls' getaway to glamorous South Beach with her college roommates is exactly the reset her confidence needs. What she doesn't expect is for her vacation to turn into a media circus, with Malcolm circling back into her life at the worst possible moment, and Graham's magnetic Psyche colleague, Gray Ryley, sent to manage the fallout.
Gray has been assigned to keep Malcolm at a distance and the paparazzi off her trail, a job that puts him closer to Laila than either of them planned for. He's spent years keeping his feelings for her carefully professional. Now he's the one man standing between her and the chaos she keeps attracting, and he's discovering that protecting her heart and guarding his own may be two things he can't do at the same time.
Alongside her, Sofía and Marina are navigating their own South Beach seasons, one chasing a truth about her own beginnings she's spent years avoiding, the other learning that faith, not fidelity, is the hardest thing love ever asks two people to share. Together, the three women discover that the family you choose can hold you as fiercely as the one you were born into. This edition has been newly revised and expanded, deepening the Sheridan family's world with richer emotional interiority and the kind of hard-won grace longtime readers will recognize immediately, and new readers will fall into completely.
South Beach is a story about learning the difference between a man who makes you feel wanted and a man who actually shows up, about friendship strong enough to survive real conflict, and about a faith that meets women exactly where they are. Rich with Black love, cultural warmth carried south to Florida sun, and a family readers fell for in North Star, South Beach is Book Two of the Sheridan Series, and Laila's story is only getting started.
