The main focus of this book is to answer the questions that my close relatives would have wished they had asked me before I started “pushing up daisies” . When I was at school the subject that I detested was history. Now, many decades later writing the family’s history from a different perspective. Throughout my book I highlight stories about the world that was, yet some of the outcomes have resulted in many benefits for today’s society. When I reflect on the past, many of these events would have been regarded as irrelevant and little attention would have been paid to them. No doubt the dates of the births and deaths of Kings and Queens are important but so are many things one can learn from the quirky events and changes that happened as society progressed. Some of these were good and some were not. That is for you, the reader, to judge and hopefully, learn from them. Throughout my book in which the stories are told, they are presented with a sense of humor and interjections.
Family drama never took so many twists and turns. Romance has never been so emotional. Welcome to the world of the Davenports. The Davenports can do no wrong. Everyone loves them. Expectations are high and always met. “This is my big, multi-generational political family—but these are not political books. There are three siblings in this generation of Davenports, and that’s what these books are. JP, Cat, and Bennett’s love stories. Three sweeping romances that’ll make you smile . . . that’ll turn you on a little . . . and that will have you cheering each couple to the finish line. Only, what none of the siblings expect are the secrets that start tumbling from their family closets. In book one, it’s a crack in the surface. Unexpected—and certainly not good—but something the family can handle. Reality hits in book two with the discovery that one little secret was merely the tip of the iceberg. Bonds are tested as more lies are exposed, and some bonds are broken. Some will bring you to tears. Book three is the culmination of all that’s come before it. The oldest sibling retires from the Army and returns home, ready to face the truth that sent him packing twenty years before. However, there’s one last twist in the Davenport saga. One scandal they could have never seen coming. And that scandal—and that book—was one of my favorite things ever to write.” Caught on Camera JP is the man of the moment, a member of the powerful and untouchable Davenport family. Vega has a past she’s not proud of and has worked hard to bury it. When the two are thrown together, and chemistry ignites, they learn that secrets have a way of coming out. Secrets which could ruin the lives they’ve built—and jeopardize any chance of having a future together. Caught in the Act Catherine vows to take a vacation from her drama-filled family, and when she arrives in the small Maine town, she’s surprised to find none other than her first love. Falling back into the arms of Brody ensures her vacation becomes her salvation, but will their relationship survive when being together uncovers the biggest Davenport scandal yet? Caught off Guard Bennett retires from the Army wanting nothing more than a night with his long-time hook-up Aubrey before facing his mother about a Davenport family secret which has been ignored for too long. But when his mother’s life is threatened and Aubrey sticks by his side, they go from hook up to something more. Can Bennett really trust the journalist in his bed? Or is Aubrey’s true goal to end the Davenport dynasty for good? One family saga, three emotional romances. Read the completed series today.

*Instant New York Times Bestseller* The Davenports delivers a totally escapist, swoon-worthy romance while offering a glimpse into a period of African American history often overlooked. "The perfect read for fans of escapist historical fiction.” —NBC’s TODAY The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth and status in a changing United States, their fortune made through the entrepreneurship of William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago. Now it's 1910, and the Davenports live surrounded by servants, crystal chandeliers, and endless parties, finding their way and finding love—even where they’re not supposed to. There is Olivia, the beautiful elder Davenport daughter, ready to do her duty by getting married . . . until she meets the charismatic civil rights leader Washington DeWight and sparks fly. The younger daughter, Helen, is more interested in fixing cars than falling in love—unless it’s with her sister’s suitor. Amy-Rose, the childhood friend turned maid to the Davenport sisters, dreams of opening her own business—and marrying the one man she could never be with, Olivia and Helen’s brother, John. But Olivia’s best friend, Ruby, also has her sights set on John Davenport, though she can’t seem to keep his interest . . . until family pressure has her scheming to win his heart, just as someone else wins hers. Inspired by the real-life story of the Patterson family, The Davenports is the tale of four determined and passionate young Black women discovering the courage to steer their own path in life—and love. "The Davenports has it all: romance, heartbreak, courage." —Ebony "A fresh, utterly enchanting read.” —Ayana Gray, New York Times bestselling author of the Beasts of Prey trilogy "Deftly written . . . A dazzling debut." —Kirkus (starred review) "Stunningly wrought . . .

Well-written . . . Sure to please." —SLJ "If this whole series existed right now, I’d tear through it to the exclusion of everything else in my life." —Teen Librarian Toolbox
For twenty-five years the unsolved kidnapping of two young girls has haunted Minneapolis homicide detective Lucas Davenport. Today, the bodies have been found. Today, he returns to a crime—and a nightmare—darker than any before... A block on the edge of the Minneapolis loop is being razed when a macabre discovery is made: two girls buried under a rotted old house. Lucas Davenport knows how long they’ve been there. In 1985, he was part of the manhunt to track down two kidnapped sisters. They were never found—until today. With the bodies discovered, Davenport has the chance to return to the crime that has haunted him for years. The deeper he probes, the more one thing becomes clear: It wasn't just the bodies that were buried. It was the truth.
In 1911, influential geneticist Charles Davenport published "Heredity in Relation to Eugenics," advancing his ideas of how genetics would improve society in the 20th century. In this new volume, Davenport's original book is reprinted along with essays from prominent academics who discuss themes from Davenport's book in a contemporary context.
