The Bachelor Party

When life takes a sharp turn off course, sometimes you need to face the wreckage to find your way forward.

Malik Carter was supposed to be a rising literary star. But after a critically acclaimed first novel flopped, he traded his dreams of bestseller lists for the unglamorous life of a limo driver. Now 35 and stuck in a rut, Malik's chance for redemption feels out of reach—until one unforgettable night turns his life upside down.

Driving for his childhood frenemy Desmond "Des" Thompson's bachelor party, Malik is forced to confront a painful past: heartbreak, betrayal, and the tragic loss of a baby with the woman Des is now set to marry. The limo is packed with old friends, unresolved tensions, and decades of unspoken grudges. What begins as a tense night of taunts and whiskey spirals into chaos when a shocking accident leaves Des dead and Malik questioning everything.

As guilt and blame threaten to consume him, Malik finds an unexpected ally in Nia Evans, a successful publisher who sees the potential in both his writing and his heart. But with his past breathing down his neck, can Malik truly forgive himself and embrace the second chance life is offering him?

Dark, heartfelt, and laced with moments of humor and hope, The Bachelor Party is a gripping tale of redemption, forgiveness, and the messy, unpredictable path to starting over.
