Eight years ago, Amina Sanchez walked away from the only man who ever truly saw her-and the life they might have had together. Now a successful marketing executive, she’s built a world defined by control, clarity, and just enough distance from the heartache she never fully healed.
Milan Carter never stopped loving Amina, not through the silence, the years, or the daughter he now co-parents with a woman he was never meant to stay with. When fate pulls him back to Atlanta for an art foundation opening, his past collides with his present in a way he never saw coming.
Secrets unravel, truths emerge, and what began as a simple reconnection becomes a tangled web of family, forgiveness, and rediscovered love. As Amina finds herself caught between what makes sense and what makes her feel, she must decide whether love is worth the risk again.
From college sweethearts to strangers to something more.
Back at One is a heartfelt story of second chances, unbreakable bonds, and the kind of love that always finds its way home.
This book…words don’t compare to the feelings this one evoked. It was raw, sensual, passionate, real. Beautifully written to the point you can vividly imagine the scenes playing out in your mind.
Thank you for sharing this with us. For sharing with BRAE 2025, for me finding a new author to become engrossed with.
I would rate a 2.5 stars, but can't do halves on this platform.
The story was very random IMO, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in my reading circle but may be a good read for someone else. I was not a fan of the pace of the storyline development. There was depth in places but it was inconsistent.
In all honesty I stopped reading at chapter 30 and then skipped to the epilogue because it was appalling to me that Shar had to tell Amina that Milan and Chaz were brothers when neither one nor her best friend told her. This book was very predictable to me so I lost interest and skipped to the end.
This was such a sweet second-chance romance. I was definitely rooting for the other guy, but we can’t get the ending we want all the time… lol. It was still very sweet and well-written—lots of “Aww” moments.
