If you enjoyed "Ella Gets the D," "Miles Apart," or "The Seven Month Itch," by Tanvier Peart. In this episode, we sit down with Tanvier Peart, indie romance author and creator of Tender Offer, to explore Madison’s unforgettable redemption arc. Once considered the villain in The Seven-Month Itch, Madison’s full-circle journey reveals the messy, layered beauty of second chances, knowing your worth, and letting love heal.
We talk about:
✨ Writing spicy, kinky romance that centers Black women’s joy and agency
✨ Why Preston is the ultimate “cinnamon roll hero with alpha tendencies”
✨ The power of rest, resistance, and self-love in Peart’s stories
✨ How her policy background sneaks into her novels (climate change billionaires? Check.)
If you love emotionally charged storytelling, “if he wanted to, he would” energy, and Black women embracing their soft life, this episode will have you swooning and reflecting in equal measure.
🎧 Hit play and join us as we unpack love, liberation, and the unapologetic layers of Tanvier Peart’s world.
