Novels by Nefera Naruba Smalls

Synopsis For seven years, Hannah Vale gave everything to her marriage. She endured four heartbreaking miscarriages, the cold distance of her husband, and the constant cruelty of his family—all while remaining loyal, quiet, and hopeful that love would be enough. It wasn’t. When she discovers Kingston has slept with her own sister, Emma, the last piece of her world shatters. Instead of protecting her, Kingston allows his family to justify the betrayal and even considers taking Emma as a second wife. Abandoned, humiliated, and stripped of the one thing she built for herself, Hannah finally asks for a divorce and walks away with nothing. A devastating accident leaves her fighting for her life. When she finally wakes up, far from everything she once knew, she discovers she is pregnant — something doctors had long said was impossible. Refusing to return to the man who destroyed her, Hannah chooses to disappear and raise her child alone. Five years later, she returns as Anastasia Emmons— a powerful, wealthy, and unrecognizable woman. By her side are her triplets, and standing opposite her is the husband who once discarded her without a second thought. Now, Kingston must face the woman he lost… and the family he never knew he had. But Hannah is no longer the quiet wife who waited for his love. She has built an empire. She has learned how to protect her heart. And this time, she will not be the one left behind.
