Sanai Taylor's hands have always worked magic-turning tangled strands into art, tears into laughter, and pain into healing. Her Atlanta salon, Cecred & Co., isn't just a business-it's a sanctuary where women rediscover their worth one braid, one curl, one mirror reflection at a time. When Psalm Tejada walks through her doors with two kids and heartbreak trailing behind him, Sanai doesn't plan on changing his life-she just wants to help a little girl feel beautiful again. But love has its own rhythm, and what begins as kindness slowly braids their lives together. As Sanai becomes part of their world-helping with homework, late-night talks, and quiet dinners-the wounds left by Psalm's ex, Kenya, begin to heal. But when Kenya returns, desperate to reclaim what she abandoned, Sanai's heart and her peace are put to the test. In a world where love is tested by lies, loyalty, and loss, Sanai learns that sometimes the greatest crowns aren't made of gold-they're built from grace, growth, and the family you choose.
