TFreedom is Mine: Seduction in Red, White and Blue by MK Seven
Freedom Waymon and Ifeanyi Bello are both on the path of healing, each carrying the weight of shattered hearts and lost love.
Freedom, a recent divorcee, is scarred by the emotional and mental abuse inflicted by her ex-husband. Her self-confidence is fragile, often overshadowed by her perceived flaws of her plus-size body. This vulnerability starkly contrasts with Ifeanyi's strong, confident demeanor.
Ifeanyi, a widower, immerses himself in his work as an engineer to navigate his grief and fill the void left by his late wife. Despite his pain, he longs for the freedom to love again fully.
Determined to make her mark in the male-dominated construction industry, Freedom faces an uphill battle. On the other hand, Ifeanyi is convinced that Freedom is responsible for the unethical practices that led to his company's misfortunes and views her with disdain. Their mutual animosity is unmistakable, and they seem destined to be eternal enemies.
But fate intervenes with a sudden storm that will challenge their beliefs. Will they weather the tempest together, becoming each other's shelter, offering safety and hope, or will their brokenness keep them apart?

This was my first read by M.K. Seven, and I enjoyed it. The characters were cute and easy to like. Freedom Waymon was a beautiful soul learning to love and trust herself again. I loved that her healing process started way before she considered anything with Ifeanyi. Her breaking free from her negative partner was for her, and it was a beautiful thing to see. Now, Ifeanyi Bello was a breath of fresh air. We find him at a place where he’s ready to move on from his loss and is ready to love. He was a real grown man. He played no games about his loved ones, and it was a joy to see. This was a quick read and fast-moving story. The vibe gave insta-love with a hint of enemies to lovers. I think you should give this story try when you want something that’s cute and doesn’t have a lot of angst.
