Shifting (en Inglés) - Jean Isabella

Miranda is used to being the one in control.

At work, she solves problems, makes decisions, and keeps everything moving. At home, she’s gotten just as comfortable carrying more than she should. The pressure, the responsibility, the constant need to stay on top of everything-it’s become second nature.

Cornell has watched his wife give the best of herself to everybody else for long enough.

So when a two-week lake house getaway puts real distance between Miranda and the demands waiting back home, he decides their marriage is getting his full attention. No distractions. No slipping back into the same habits. No more pretending the tension between them can be handled later.

What starts with firm boundaries and a change in pace turns into something far deeper once Miranda stops fighting how much she wants his certainty, his direction, and the kind of authority that lets her finally let go.

Because Cornell isn’t asking for a surface version of his wife. He wants all of her-open, honest, needy, and fully present in his hands.

And once Miranda gives him that, there’s no returning to what they were before.

Shifting is a steamy contemporary Black romance novella about marriage, trust, surrender, and the kind of grown desire that gets even hotter when two people finally stop holding back.
