After a life-changing experience in Syria, Lance Corporal Ethan Raye barely makes it home with his life. The severely wounded marine must rely on his fiancee Charlotte and the assistance of a health care provider named Valerie. The military veteran finds himself struggling to reclaim more than control over his life including the disability his career has left him with. 

Will secrets from the past threaten to destroy him and the little bit of sanity he has left? 

A series of family tragedies forces Valerie to drop out of college, return home, and help her family members who have fallen on hard times. Taking a job as a health care worker provides her with a measure of hope as she struggles to save the family home and land her parents worked their entire lives for before it is all lost. Her hopes of returning to school become an elusive dream as she struggles to make everything work.

When Valerie accepts a position caring for Ethan, she learns the true meaning of suffering for those you love.

True Black Love (COMPLETED - AMAZON PUBLISHED) by iliannabinoche

This is a Curvy Community Romance: #DISCLOSURE #CelebrateBlackStories #Curvy #EyesLipsFierce "What other people hold onto in their tiny brains about black women is none of my concern," she tells herself. No matter what the salesman thinks, the young woman refuses to allow anyone to diminish who she is. At least, she hasn't allowed anyone to wield that kind of power over her since she stopped wearing pigtails. Striving for success in a man's world sets the dark-skinned businesswoman on a path to overcome the misguided notions of those who show more concern for the color of her skin without equally considering her ability to execute a contract with the finesse of a highly skilled surgeon. Africa is a beautiful boss babe who never fails to teach those who offend her a lesson about never judging a book by its cover. ----------------- "Why can't you spend more time with them?" "I told you this isn't the kind of life I want for myself." "But they're your kids too." "I don't have time for this." Once again his wife stormed off without a concern in the world for her family, and once again, he was left to explain to their children why they wouldn't see their mother after she promised she would take them on one of her infamous excursions. Israel had once assured himself that if he was a faithful husband, diligent family man, successful business owner, and dutiful son, he would live the life of his dreams. For his efforts, Israel knows all too well the hurt experienced when the person you love doesn't love you back. Not every woman can handle being treated like a queen. Learning such a harsh lesson the hard way makes him wonder if any good women still exist. Can anyone truly appreciate the beautiful boss babe also known as Africa? Will Israel continue down the path of heartbreak as he struggles to hold his family together? Are they destined to struggle against all the societal odds that insist it is impossible to find TRUE BLACK LOVE?
