It happened at 2:06 a.m.
Malachi Davis used to be a star, an MLB all-star with back-to-back World Series wins and the world at his feet. Then one drunk driver, one catastrophic crash, and everything he built his identity on was ripped away. The injury ended his career, but it was the anger that destroyed his marriage.Five years after a divorce he thought he wanted, Malachi has done the work, between therapy, sobriety, and rebuilding his life from the ground up. He’s traded stadium lights for sugar and fire, becoming a Michelin-star pastry chef with a grand opening on the line. The only thing missing is the one woman he never stopped craving.
Myelle Davis is finally free, a quiet junior high principal who escaped the spotlight and healed in a small town where nobody knows her name. She’s also stepped into her truth, exploring her attraction to women and falling into a passionate, soul-deep relationship with the intoxicating Nyla Marks.
When Malachi, using a fake profile, stumbles across Myelle’s dating app post looking for a man to play with her and her girlfriend, he makes a reckless decision.
He swipes right.
But desire is the easy part. The hard part is earning trust from the woman he broke, and proving to both Myelle and Nyla that he isn’t chasing the past, he’s building something new.
Three hearts. One second chance. And a night that changes everything.
2:06 a.m. is a steamy, emotional second-chance romantic erotica novella about redemption, healing, and the kind of love that dares to expand.
Expect: second-chance romance, exes-to-lovers, MMF triad romance (F/F + M), bisexual awakening, high heat, emotional healing, and Black love with a delicious culinary twist.
