Love Unbroken (Love, Life, & Happiness series)
Hi everyone! I have been extremely busy putting the finishing touches to Our Love, but also writing my next story, Love Unbroken. I just finished the last chapter last night, and I have to say, I’m very proud of this story. I can’t wait for you all to read it!
I do have the blurb available for Love Unbroken, which is book one of a four-part New Adult series titled Love, Life, & Happiness. Each story will be centered on a couple (which everyone will be introduced in Love Unbroken), and will each go through their own journey to their happily ever after.
The first book (available in December), tells the story of Riana and Shawn and their journey to love. The second book, Trust Me (Cheryl and Marcus’ story), will be released in February 2014!
Riana:
I wasn’t expecting to meet anyone when I arrived at Shaw University. After my last stint at love, the only thing I wanted to focus on is getting through my first semester of college without any drama. That was my intentions, until I met Shawn Walker. At first I didn’t like him. He was arrogant and cocky; someone that I could easily despised, if he wasn’t so damn sexy. But one night changed my thoughts about him. I was able to let down my guard and be myself. Now, I have a second chance at love. Will I let myself love again, or will I continue to live in the past?
Shawn:
After my last girlfriend cheated on me, love was not on my agenda. I tried to escape it at all costs, until I met Riana Robertson. After thinking she was like every other girl, I easily avoided being around her, but that night, when I saw what happened to her, I had to help her. I had to protect her. That night changed the way I felt about her and I realized I could fall hard for her. But will our relationship survive once she finds out the truth about me. Or will I lose her forever…
This story is intended for readers 17+ (adult content/language, sexual content/language).

Now Available For Pre-Order: The Way We Were
a href="https://sheenabinkley.files.wordpress...
The Way We Were, the fourth book in the Love, Life, & Happiness series, is now available for pre-order on Amazon!!! Order now and you are guaranteed to recieve your copy before or on September 26th (which is the release date, by the way)!
http://www.amazon.com/Were-Love-Life-...
Monica:
I'd always been unlucky with love. No matter how much I've tried to experience it, something always happens to make me turn away. When I was with Donnell Patterson, I believed I finally had a chance at it, but I ended up destroying it by being selfish. Now, I have a second chance with Zack Hall. He’s a woman’s dream – smart, generous, and sexy as hell. But now that I’m with someone else, why does Donnell keep coming back into my thoughts? Should I let go of the past, and start with someone new, or go back to the person that I’ve always considered my one true love?
Donnell:
Monica Taylor and I have had our shares of ups and downs. Honestly, we had more downs than ups. But no matter what we did to each other, we always found our way back to each other; but she did the unthinkable when she tried to hook up with Marcus Walker. Now, I’m with someone new, who makes me really happy. Dominique Sawyer is amazing; not only is she smart and beautiful, but she's also drama-free. But if she’s so perfect, why do I keep thinking about the person who has continuously broke my heart?

Five Things You Should Know About The Way We Were!
Hi everyone!! As always, for every book, I provide five spoilers to prepare for the story. With The Way We Were, there are five shocking spoilers to think about before the release on September 26th!
1. Monica and Donnell are involved with different people: In Unconditional Love, it was revealed that Monica was dating Jayden’s friend Zack, while Donnell was dating Dominique. They’re pretty happy to a certain extent, until the four are out together on a group date, which leads to the second spoiler…
2. Zack and Dominique share a past: Yes, the two share a past which was never resolved. The two are in the same situation as Monica and Donnell.
3. Cassandra: Cassandra is Monica’s childhood friend who her friends believe is a bad influence on Monica. She returns to Shaw and has some surprising news for both her best friend and Cheryl.
4. Monica and Marcus: Monica still never resolved the issues she had between Marcus and Cheryl. When an unexpected event occur in her life, she began to think about what made her result to that day at Reese’s and finally realized her actions.
5. Monica and Donnell receive unexpected news: The two receive some unexpected news, which will turn their lives upside down. This will also lead into a preview of Riana and Shawn’s story in Love Always.
The Way We Were will be available on all major sites September 26th. You can pre-order now on Amazon:
