Thicker Than My Scars

"You're too dark."

"You're too big."

"Nobody's ever going to love a woman like you."

For as long as she could remember, Kianna Jordan believed those words.

At 25, the single mother from Barbados leaves everything behind and moves to United States hoping to build a better life for her daughter, Amaya. Instead, she finds herself drowning in bills, heartbreak, and rejection.

When she is suddenly evicted and left standing in the rain with nowhere to go, Kianna believes she has finally hit rock bottom.

Then she meets Shaquon Bennett.

Successful. Handsome. Wealthy.
Everything she believes she could never have.

What starts as a helping hand soon becomes something neither of them expected. As Shaquon helps Kianna rebuild her life, he finds himself falling for the woman who can't see her own beauty and the little girl who slowly begins to steal his heart.

But love isn't always enough.
