Between Us

BETWEEN US

Queen of Kings, Book Two

By D. B. Francelle

Some love stories begin with a first glance. Simone Persaud and Micah Baptiste's began years ago, somewhere between friendship, family, and all the things neither of them was supposed to want.

Micah has always been part of Simone's life. He's her longtime friend, her best friend's twin brother, and the man who knows her better than almost anyone. Falling for him was never part of the plan, but some feelings refuse to stay within the boundaries of friendship.

When their relationship becomes something more, Simone and Micah decide to keep it between them. No family opinions. No expectations. No explanations to the people who think they already know everything about their lives.

But there's a difference between keeping something private and keeping it a secret.

As their relationship deepens, the lives they've carefully kept separate begin to overlap. Family loyalties, complicated histories, and the weight of unspoken truths threaten the future they're quietly building together.

Now Simone and Micah must decide whether protecting their relationship means keeping it hidden or finally allowing the people they love to see what they've found in each other.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Brooklyn, Between Us is a steamy contemporary romance about friendship, family, healing, trust, and discovering that sometimes the person who feels most like home is the one you've loved all along.

A standalone romance in the Queen of Kings series. Intended for mature audiences.
