Graphic. Book covers on a yellow background with two walking cartoon cherries. "In one of these books a male main character makes the other male main character ** **** on the female make character on the beach." "its this one." Harbor March Backlist bundles. Haven, Sanctuary and Harbor by Rebekah Weatherspoon 3 steamy romances for the price of one. Three romances with shirtless buff guys on the cover, standing in front of the mountains, in front of a farm and in front of the ocean. All three books have plus size black heroines and all three books feature BDSM elements. Haven - he saves her from serial killers. Months later they reunite and do the nasty instead of going to therapy. Sanctuary - She saves herself from a professional hit and ends up hidding at his farm. They do the nasty in a peach orchard. Harbor is a polyam story with three black folks. Their cheating partners are killed and they try to find meaning in it all. The meaning involves a threesome on the beach.
