"You could never love all of me, and I'm sure of that." _____________________________________ In a world of a preference of doing everything but the right thing and being everything that she's not, 26 year old Victoria Marshall is just trying to remain on the right path and be confident in herself. She defies society's expectations by being a full figured, dark skinned woman. When she meets 27 year old Kareem Thompson, the man who had his own issues too, he wants to show her that he is man enough to handle all of her and her enticing curves and sassy attitude. How will Victoria respond? Will she allow herself to believe that he loves her, or will she continue to think that she is better off without someone to love her and push him away? *I own none of the photos used in this book.

The heavy smell of cigarette smoke couldn't even mask the metallic smell of aged blood beneath the floor boards. These were dangerous men. Boys with knives and painted skin.. ~ We laid in the darkened room letting the comfortable silence cover us. His tattooed hand lightly stroked the moist skin of my arm. Yuji was beautiful.. "I'm going to hell..." He said nonchalantly. My eyes danced along his strong jawline and shoulder length, tapered hair. Currents of silky, onyx hair. "I've touched such a pure soul with unclean hands..." He sat up, climbed to his feet and grabbed his silk robe from the door, concealing the Oni and blossoms that adorned his back.
