Choices II: More Choices

by Carmen McIntyre

Alicia Drake is adjusting to her new life as a single mom. Her focus is on raising her son and navigating her co-parenting relationship with Charles Davis. But Charles wants more—he wants his only son under his roof, even if it means reeling Alicia back in, kicking and screaming.

Meanwhile, Marcus Gardner—Alicia’s best friend turned lover—returns to Chicago for the weekend, reigniting feelings they’ve both been trying to bury. And just when things couldn’t get more complicated, Erica Samuels reemerges. After years of struggle, she’s finally ready to find some inner peace. However, her return shakes up everything with a bang.

They all have choices to make—some wise, some reckless, and some life-altering

About the author

Carmen McIntyre writes stories about love, betrayal, survival, and the choices that change everything. A Chicago native now living in Charlotte, she turned years of private writing into her debut novel Choices, followed by Choices II, a sequel readers call “emotional” and “unputdownable.” Her newest work, Electa, dives deeper into mystery and suspense, exploring resilience and identity against impossible odds.

Creativity runs through everything Carmen does—whether she’s building unforgettable characters, designing handmade jewelry, or painting glass. A proud mother and grandmother, she brings the same heart, grit, and honesty to her fiction as she does to her life.

When she’s not writing or creating, you can usually find her plotting her next story, reminding women everywhere that they are the main character.
