A Girl Like Me (A BBW Love Story)

Leilani never thought love would find her at thirty-three. Life taught her to guard her heart, keep her head high, and focus on surviving in a world that often overlooked curvy, outspoken, and unapologetically real women like her. But when she crosses paths with Jermal, her world shifts in ways she never expected.

At forty-eight, Jermal is no ordinary man. Once deep in the streets running drugs, boosting cars, and building empires with dirty money, he's reinvented himself into a polished, respected Senator in Alabama. He's a man of power, influence, and integrity to the public eye. But behind the scenes, the game still has its hooks in him. The streets never truly let him go, and the businesses he owns keep his empire alive in silence.

Leilani is drawn to him, not just for the way he carries himself with confidence and authority, but for the way he sees her the real her. For once, she isn't too much, too loud, or too curvy. To Jermal, she's exactly what he never knew he needed. But loving a man like Jermal means stepping into a world of secrets, danger, and choices that could change her life forever.

As their connection deepens, Leilani must decide if she's ready to love a man whose heart is divided between politics and the streets. And Jermal must face the one question he's been avoiding his entire life: can he truly walk away from the game, or will the life he built in the shadows threaten the love he's finally found in the light?

A Girl Like Me (A BBW Love Story) is a gripping urban romance full of passion, betrayal, ambition, and the kind of love that refuses to die. For Leilani and Jermal, it's not just about surviving the streets it's about rewriting the rules of love, loyalty, and legacy.
