Britt also gives a little peek at what is coming next in the Rubiel universe, including interconnected stories, more familiar faces, and a future novella.Spoiler warning: We talk openly about Open For Business, so read the book first if you want to avoid spoilers.Follow Urban Whispers: @urbanwhisperspodcastFollow Sloane: @sloan_buellerFollow Britt W.: @brittwonthepage / @nonelikebrittwWebsite: BritWAuthor.com #BrittW #OpenForBusiness #BlackRomance #BlackLove #RomanceBooks #BookTube #BookPodcast #AuthorInterview #BlackWomenAuthors #ContemporaryRomance
