AC joins a group of amazing authors who invite you to journey to different cities to celebrate Juneteenth with the men of Mr. Black, an organization honoring Black love, Black culture, and Black history.

In Mr. On Your Knees you’ll meet Jared Desdune (of the famous Desdunes featured in a few of the Donovan Friends books), a successful hotelier looking to further cement his goals by hosting Miami’s biggest and best Juneteenth celebration. What Jared doesn’t anticipate is the love he’d lost to show up as the event designer. Now, as they’re forced to work closely together to elevate both of their careers, he not only won’t be able to keep Desi Kane out of his mind, but he’s helpless to stop her continued claim on his heart.

Mr. On Your Knees also has connections to The Corporation series.
