Stuart married the girl of his dreams - but she was once the woman of his nightmares.

Lauren was his college crush, out of his league, gorgeous and wild. Back then, she belonged to Drake - Stuart's bully, a tall, powerful Black man who was bigger, stronger, and hungrier than Stuart could ever be. Drake took everything Stuart wanted, including Lauren. He had her body, every inch of it, until she broke under his power.

When Drake ghosted her, Stuart was the one who picked up the pieces. He gave her safety, love, and a life built on devotion. For five years, he believed that was enough.

Until the night Drake walked back into their lives.

Now Stuart can't escape the stories that haunt him - Lauren on her knees, Lauren whispering yes, Lauren surrendering to the kind of man Stuart can never be. Each memory tears him apart... and feeds a need he can't admit, even to himself.

Lauren swore she'd never go back. But desire doesn't care about promises. And Drake isn't finished with her. Not until she remembers exactly how completely he once owned her.

Looking Back is the explosive first book in the Back in Black trilogy - a raw, interracial saga of lust, jealousy, and the dangerous thrill of surrender.
