ABOUT



When it comes to love, age ain’t nothing but a number.

Rhonda Smith had to open her big mouth when she promised Asher and Yuki, her grown children, that she’d open her heart to love. And she intended to keep that promise until she learned dating ain’t what it used to be.


Now there are apps for that. Not to mention speed dating, blind dates, and singles gatherings. To top it all off, there’s Netflix and chills, and social media.


God help her.


She’s a widower with nothing to lose, hoping for a second chance at her happily ever after, even if it means surviving absurd dates and kissing a few toads to find a suitable, mature man. 


But when Jaxon Reinheart unexpectantly adds his name to her dance card, Rhonda throws caution to the wind. The much younger, single dad, plans to show her that love and chivalry are alive and well.


If…she’ll let him.




EXCERPT



I hear the wooden chair drag across the hardwood floor signaling number eight of five thousand.  “Hi, my name is Rhon—”


I glance up and see his beautiful green eyes. “Jaxon.” The pen drops and the breathy sound of my voice is pretty close to pitiful. But his presence is how I imagine cool spring water on a hot summer day would feel, refreshing. 


“Hello, gorgeous.” He slips past the next man in line, sitting in the seat across from me like he belongs here.


“Excuse me, my man.” 


Jaxon glances up at him, jaw clenched, and the two communicated without words.


“Sir, come this way.” Yuki ushers the skipped man to her table. Her eyes filled with curiosity and a mischievous twinkle.


A burning sensation tingles my cheeks. I can’t be blushing. I look up fully aware of how close we are to one another.


“Is this all as gruesome as it seems?” Jaxon flicks a hand at the whole show of it all.


“Unfortunately, yes.” I exhale. He leans into the table, I push my dating notes aside and do the same. The smell of his cologne makes me want to lean closer. 


“Three minutes.” Yuki, the drill sergeant, calls out with her gaze focused on Jaxon.


“You better get to talking.” His eyes sweep across my face, and I feel like a different version of myself. My seventeen before kids, youthful…hopeful self. 


“First this.” I noticed a glass of wine in his hand.


“Thank you.” I take a sip, and it’s my favorite. “How did you—”


“Ben.” 


I nod. And relax, feeling comfortable for the first time tonight.   


“Tell me about yourself,” I say getting my first real look at him up close since our first brief meeting months ago. His green eyes are piercing, and sandy blonde hair gives him a youthful appeal. He’s wearing a suit and tie. Much too dressed up for the ordinary Austin evening happy hour. I comb my mind, and for most of our encounters, he dressed the same.


“I’d rather hear about you.” His finger lightly taps the table. 


“That’s a first for tonight.” I throw in as desire bubbles to the surface. There is something about the way his eyes dance under the overhead lights. 


“Lucky me.”

Family, Secrets, and Finding Love







This series popped up, literally, unexpected. I was contracted to write a contemporary romance for a boxed set. The characters had to journey to Ireland and we had a align with the general set summary.


I thought having direction would make it easier.


WRONG!


Ireland…Ireland…Ireland.


Story…please come to me. **And no, this doesn’t work.**


Then one day, I’m clicking around on YouTube and I stumble on a video. Then a character, Yuki Smith, was born.


Yuki is a biracial African-American and Korean and woman, adopted, and she’s secretly in love with her brother’s best friend. Easy peasy, right?


That one story introduced us to her brother, Asher Smith. And their fearless, loving mother, Rhonda Smith.


I struggled to find a beginning and now one story–Yuki’s Luck–will be three–Smith Pact Duo.


Stay tuned for more about the Smith Family:



Yuki’s Luck ,
Asher’s Sonnet , and
Smith Surprise .

NEW RELEASE: Asher’s Sonnet

Today is release day! Book 2 in the Smith Pact Duo.


Asher’s Sonnet tells of a couple in love yet struggling to find happiness after their rushed “I do.” It is steamy and real as they push each to the edge in more ways than one.








Asher's Sonnet by Ja'Nese Dixon | Smith Pact Duo Series


Get YOUR Copy Today!ABOUT



Armed with her sexiest f*ck-him

dress and a hall pass…

Asher Smith is a complicated man. He’s hardworking, loving, but distant. And the only way Jasmine Smith can have him fully is to make him think he’s lost her for good.


Fed up she asks for a hall pass and he said yes.


Barely holding back her tears, he witnesses the crime scene: her string bikinis, lingerie, and her sexiest f*ck-him dress are packed and aimed to kill. 


Jasmine books a flight for a week in Cancun with Yuki, her friend and his sister, willing to do whatever it takes to get his attention. 


This trip will be the death or rebirth of her marriage. It’s up to Asher to decide.




EXCERPT



Can I have you?


“Not yet,” he says reading my mind. “But hold that thought.” 


I nod recognizing the promise shining back at me. 


“Come to me, baby.” Before I know it I’m out of the car and in his arms. He scoops me up, and my legs dangle his grip strong and sure. I cradle the back of his neck and snuggle close, placing a kiss there. His stubble tickles my lips.


“I missed you.” I thought it was me, but it’s Asher. 


“Not more than I missed you.” The ache is thick, and I feel it to my bones.


His lips find mine. The strong hardness of his lips part mine urgent and sweet as his tongue dips inside. And like a force of nature the walls of our world erect, shielding us from the world. There’s no SOS job offer, endless questions about the state of my marriage. There is only Asher and I. And my weary soul melts. Taking what he offers with an open heart. 


“Get a room!” A voice shouts.


I pull back and search his heated gaze. “I think we should take this to the house.” 


“Not yet.” 


He hoists me higher, and I wrap my legs around his waist, his hands cradle my butt. He carries me as if I weigh nothing. And I know he won’t let me fall. Ever. 


Is this normal? This crazy, can’t breathe without you kind of love? It can’t be. It must be insanity. Who could live like this?
