New Release

I was never supposed to have a crush on my best friend’s little sister. Morgan is too young. Too innocent. And she’s in far too much danger.

I’ve built a legitimate empire in New York, far from the life of shadows and violence in which I was raised. I’m heir to a dark throne.

When she needs temporary shelter, I allow her to crash at my place. Being this close to her, without touching her, hurts like hell. But I can play the white knight for a few weeks.

I have to stay away from her, even while I keep her safe.

Even if it means not touching her beautiful body.

Even if it means seeing the hurt in her eyes.

Then my former life comes crashing in. She doesn’t know how deep the stakes go—and I can’t afford to let her find out. Protecting her means keeping her close, even if it means risking everything, including my own heart.

Deep Pockets is a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance filled with high-stakes tension, passion, and the thin line between loyalty and love. It’s a journey of tragic pasts, fierce protectiveness, and the realization that sometimes, the heart wants what it has secretly craved all along.

Meet the author

Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling author, Nana Malone writes Sexy Feel-Good Romance and loves all things romance and adventure.

That love started with a tattered romantic suspense she “borrowed” from her cousin. It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She’s been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters

#BrownNippleChallenge

Hi! I’m Nana Malone, creator of the #BrownNippleChalenge!

When I started writing, it became my mission statement to feature women of color in my books—brown women like me with brown nipples. Lol.

In the summer of 2020, I wanted to do more. I wanted to help other women of color get the recognition that they deserved. And not just the same four or five Black women that the rest of Romancelandia has heard of. With the world suddenly paying attention to Own Voices works I wanted to shed more light on these great books that didn’t get the audience they deserved due to internalized biases and racism in the industry.

So I started the #BrownNippleChallenge, where every month, I pick a book from a WOC writing romance, and everyone participating in the challenge buys the book or audiobook, thereby directly putting money in the pockets of brown women who have been marginalized.
