From Dusk to Dawn by Niambi Brown Davis

On The Air welcomes the Against All Odds Virtual Book Tour!

Tune in to hear new author, Niambi Brown Davis, talk about her romance novel, From Dusk to Dawn, and Virtual Book Tour with host, Marlive Harris!

In From Dusk to Dawn, Ayo Montgomery’s and Bilal Salaam’s first meeting was as explosive as a lightning storm. The verbal showdown that erupted between them should have been the end of them; if they couldn’t manage a civil conversation with one another, how could they possibly fall in love? But they do fall in love – deeply and completely. However, in fiction as in real life, the course of even the greatest love never runs smooth. Bilal and Ayo make it through the minefield of differences in age, faith and family opposition, only to face an unexpected challenge and the greatest threat to their future together. For one of them love means letting go, but for the other, it means holding on – against all odds.
