Swapped A Bum For A Boss
(2025)(The first book in the Swapped A Bum For A Boss series)
A novel by Alecia J
"Some men will support you. Others will drain you. Know the difference."
Xyla Love is sharp, gorgeous, and grinding through her fellowship to become a medical examiner. With her longtime boyfriend Maleek by her side, everything looks picture-perfect—until cracks begin to show. His vibe gets shady, his stories stop adding up, and Xyla’s gut starts whispering something ain't right. Just when she’s rethinking it all, in walks Savvy Morris—smooth, ruthless, mysterious, unapologetically and the kind of man who doesn’t just make an entrance—he takes over. And when it comes to Xyla, he’s not waiting for an opening, he’s making one, even if it means stepping over whoever’s in the way.
Meanwhile, Xyla’s cousin, Cali Brown, is over it—all of it. A single mom of twins, she’s been carrying the load, the groceries, the bills—and her man, Jayceon, who swears he’s ‘working on it’ but can’t seem to lift anything heavier than excuses. Enter Draelon ‘Draco’ Sims: tattoos, AKs, and enough bad-boy energy to short-circuit her self-control. He’s got street smarts, intense eyes, and a vibe that says ‘danger ahead,’ but somehow still feels like dessert. Jayceon’s giving dusty, Draco’s giving deadly—and Cali knows better… but whew, temptation is fine and fully loaded.
Across town, nurse Skye Washington is forced to face the past she tried to leave behind when she’s assigned to care for her comatose ex, Monte Morris—Savvy’s brother. Their love story was complicated, but now she’s torn between who she used to be and the woman she’s trying to become. If Monte wakes up, will she fall back into old patterns—or finally choose herself?
Lies, lust, and loyalty collide as three women fight to hold onto their power—and figure out which men are really riding for them, and which ones are just dead weight.
Genre: Romance
