𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐀 '𝐓𝐈𝐀' 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐒 has always played it safe-gentle, polite, disciplined. A Black country girl turned Memphis hairstylist, she's learned how to be useful long before she learned how to be wanted.
𝐌𝐈𝐍-𝐉𝐔𝐍 '𝐌𝐉' 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 knows care and beauty like second nature. Charming, quietly magnetic, and tied to his family's Korean-owned beauty supply store, he's never been seen for himself-until now.
When a chance meeting in darkly-lit aisles sparks something neither of them can ignore, Tia and MJ navigate desire, family expectations, and the slow heat of Memphis summers. From backyard cookouts and Sunday church services to Beale Street strolls and quiet riverbanks, they discover that love doesn't always arrive on schedule-it arrives in moments you weren't expecting.
