t. Pierres, is thriving. She lives her life on her terms and makes no apologies - not for her plus-size body, philanthropic endeavors, or her zesty love life. When her best friend lands into trouble she does what any friend would, packs a bag, hops on a private plane, and enters a world where the men are bold, badass, and built for sin. When she decides to add one of them to her charcuterie board of lovers, she finds Xavier Alexander wants to be more than a snack. He wants to be the whole damn meal. Not an option.

Xavier Alexander grew up in a world where a man's character meant more than what he did for a living. After his father lost the family ranch, Xavier left the land he loved to conquer the world of business and take back what was stolen, plus interest. Putting morals first has earned him a goodie-two-shoes reputation, but those who underestimate him do so at their own peril. Like Shayla St. Pierre.

Her "friends with benefits" proposal is a generous first offer, but his counter sent her running believing he won't pursue. Let that woman go? Not an option.

Forces from Xavier's past and Shayla's attraction to danger threaten to tear them apart, but will betrayal ruin them first?

Chaser, a friends-to-lovers, billionaire, romantic suspense with plus size heroine, is the second interconnected, standalone novel in the Courageous Love Novel series.
