The Wedding: A BWWM Billionaire Insta-Love Short Story of Heat, Choice & Scandal

Rate this book
Sebastian Kole has everything—billions in the bank, a company he built from the ground up, and the crushing weight of being the perfect son. But when a chance encounter at a Nashville hotel bar turns into the hottest night of his life, he wakes up wanting more than his family’s approval. He wants her.

Lyrical “Lyric” James doesn’t apologize for who she is. A dancer who owns her choices, she’s used to whispers and judgment—but nothing prepares her for powerful, controlled, and watching her like she’s the only real thing he’s ever seen.

When fate throws them together again at his brother’s wedding, sparks ignite into scandal. One slur. One fist. One declaration in front of everyone. And suddenly, the dutiful CEO isn’t at the altar—he’s holding Lyric’s hand, walking away from everything he was supposed to be.

I write BWWM romance across four lanes: dark mafia, contemporary, paranormal, and erotic short stories—all built on obsession, power, and the kind of love that leaves bruises on your pride (in the best way).

My stories live where leverage matters. Where desire is a decision. Where the man doesn’t chase—he claims. And the woman isn’t a prize—she’s the one who can burn the whole operation down if she’s pushed wrong.

My debut novel, Dark Vows, released May 1, 2025, and it set the tone for what I do: high heat, hard choices, ruthless devotion, and heroines who don’t fold just because a powerful man wants them. Whether I’m writing mafia wars and bloodline politics, a contemporary romance that hits like a confession, a paranormal world with teeth, or a fast, filthy short meant to be read in one breath—my focus stays the same:

competent Black women, dangerous men, clear consent, and HEAs that are earned.

If you like romance with edge, intensity, and consequences—welcome.
If you want sweet, soft, and polite… you’re probably in the wrong place.

Start with Dark Vows. Then pick your poison.

Ravens writing always feels cinematic to me. Full of lush detail, real dialogue, and heat that means something. You can smell the rain on the Nashville streets and the salt air in Santorini. I love how she writes love.❤️❤️❤️

I loved it

Finally a couple that faced their attraction and truth. I loved how they owned who they are without apology and pretense. The truth is that simple sometimes. They didn't make it complicated because they owned the truth of who they wanted.

Every book in the So, About Last Night series burns hot, but The Wedding adds heart. It’s not just steam—it’s freedom, forgiveness, and choosing love in public.
