Maya James is 6'2, thick, and unapologetically herself. Growing up in the city, she's learned that being a tall, plus-size Black woman means people see you before they hear you-and not everyone can handle that. With a new job at a luxury event planning firm, she's determined to prove that she belongs in rooms where no one expects her to fit.

Then enters Devin Carter-a tattooed, soft-spoken single dad with ties to the streets and a loyalty that runs deeper than blood. He's used to moving in silence, but something about Maya's confidence and warmth pulls him in.

In a world where love is tested by pride, secrets, and survival, can Maya and Devin stand tall together-or will the city tear them apart before they even begin?All Rights Reserved
