If Black Had Claimed His Queen

We have all wondered what would occur if one simple thing occurred. In my first book, Black's Obsession, Malcolm Black bungles so many opportunities to tell Cinnamon Dubois his true feelings. He pretended they were cool, just friends for years. In fact everyone seems to know his feelings but her. Malcolm returns after graduate school to tell her... and discovers Cinnamon is with another man because he's waited four years. He leaves enraged and never returns until she's about to be married. He spends decades wondering what would have occurred with one minor change. In IF BLACK HAD CLAIMED HIS QUEEN: An Alternate Reality story we get to see exactly what would have occurred had he opened his mouth and spoke his love... Reading Black's Obsession is not required to read this novella.
