True Black Love (COMPLETED - AMAZON PUBLISHED)
💔 TRUE BLACK LOVE by Ilianna Binoche (Andrea D. Tumblin) She's bold. Brilliant. Beautiful. And she refuses to shrink for anyone. "What other people hold onto in their tiny brains about Black women is none of my concern," Africa Kenyatta Anderson reminds herself every time someone underestimates her. Once a girl with pigtails and too many dreams, she's now a dark-skinned, curvy powerhouse running circles around men who swear she doesn't belong in their boardrooms. Sharp as a blade and twice as dangerous, Africa built her empire from grit, grace, and the audacity to believe she deserves more. But success comes with a cost. Back in her hometown, Israel Nathaniel King is watching the life he built slowly unravel. His wife-the woman he sacrificed everything for-has checked out of their marriage, chasing ambition while leaving his heart and their children behind. He's done everything right: husband, father, provider... and still, it isn't enough. When Africa and Israel's worlds collide, sparks fly between two people bruised by love, broken by expectation, and desperate to believe that something real still exists. Can a woman who's fought to stand alone learn to let someone in? Can a man who's lost his faith in love learn to trust again? Or will the weight of the world-and their own scars-prove that true Black love is the rarest kind of miracle? ✨ Genre: Contemporary Romance • BWWM • Love & Redemption • Emotional Drama 🔥 Tropes: Strong Female Lead • Broken Marriage • Second Chances • Emotional Healing • Black ExcellenceComplete

No Small Lives
Even seemingly quiet lives hold deep, dramatic stories Adelani has always been the kind of woman people overlook-a quiet, conservative church girl, dutiful and measured. But beneath her composed exterior lies a woman shaped by displacement, heartbreak, and a hidden wild streak she dares not name. After years of moving between cities in Nigeria, she has finally settled in Norwich, UK, where she is still finding her footing. Yet, home is a slippery thing when you carry the weight of expectation on your shoulders. When her paths crossed again with Alexander an older, professor from her time in university - her world tilts. He is unlike anyone she expected to love, and their attraction is immediate, undeniable. But love is never simple, especially when ghosts of the past refuse to be buried. A familiar name reappears-Dayo, the Nigerian ex who once shattered her trust. And with it, a triangle of longing, loyalty, and unresolved history begins to take shape. As Adelani navigates love, family, and the cultural pressures of being a Nigerian woman who dares to want something different, she harbors a truth that defies expectation: she does not want children. It is a choice that shocks those around her-a quiet rebellion against tradition, against the life that was supposed to be hers. But the past has its own way of creeping back, and when a secret side of her life comes to light, everything she has carefully built is at risk of unraveling. Bold yet intimate, *No Small Lives* is a deeply personal exploration of identity, love, and the quiet revolutions that shape us. Because even the quietest lives carry storms within them-and no life is ever truly small.
PERFECT MATCH
She had everything while growing up only that her parents couldn't give her the life she wanted. It was the life of freedom: to do and be anything. Her rebellion and self willed nature led to her marriage to a total stranger. It was her father's best way of protecting her, his antidote to tame her. For Mabel, she had no choice but to walk into it but she did have an escape plan. He is handsome, sexy, rich and everything an eligible bachelor should be; only that he had no plans in mind for himself. He couldn't go against his father's decisions and commands, the whole purpose of his existence was loyalty for the sake of his family and the business. That was what his father had taught him, he was his father's shadow. Their parents thought they would match each other. Let's see if they are right after all.
WRETCHEDLY RICH
They said he was blessed. That his name opened doors. That gold followed wherever he stepped. But no one saw the shadows that entered with him. No one heard the silence that followed his laughter. And no one warned him that some kindnesses come at a cost. Now, Obiajulum sits in the dark-rich in all the wrong things. Blind. Blamed. Alone. What happens when the house you built with love becomes a shrine of regret? When the child you fed calls your name in blood? Wretchedly Rich is a tale of beauty and betrayal, prophecy and possession- where not every guest is innocent, not every wealth is a blessing, and not every story ends with light.Complete

"You and I both know, that skin colour matters." She pointed out. "It doesn't matter to me, or to you. And it didn't matter to your parents." He argued, praying desperately that she would stay.

Marshall's POV. I had just gotten off the tour bus and hopping in this 7-eleven that I hoped had some Red Bull and Nacho's cause after being stuck on that bus for 7 hours and everyone eating up all the food.. I was absolutely starving. I quickly got in the store with my hood down seeing that no one was really around to recognize me but just in case I grabbed all the items that I thought was necessary to make sure I wouldn't get hungry any time soon. Then I went up to the counter and saw the cashier who was busy talking on her phone instead of paying attention to the customers like she should be doing. "Yo, i'm ready to be rung up." I said hoping she would get off the phone. "No, what your ready for is a new hair style, your hair looks like one of those yellow scrub brushes you would buy at the Family Dollar store down the street." She retorted.
