Sweetgum Meadows Romance

Naomi Ellis has always protected others-first as a librarian, then as a single mother to her ten-year-old son, Omari. But when she finds a cruel message stuffed in her son's locker, she realizes it's time to teach him more than books can offer. A chance encounter at Sweetgum Jiu-Jitsu & Wellness introduces them to a new kind of strength-and to Khadir Grant, the quiet man who once offered Naomi safety when she needed it most. Now a respected instructor, Khadir runs his dojo with patience, purpose, and heart. For Naomi and Omari, it becomes more than a place to train-it becomes a place to heal. As Naomi's guard begins to lower, long-buried feelings start to rise. But trusting someone again, especially in a town that whispers, takes more courage than any black belt test.
