If Love Finds Me

Shamika More never hated love.

She hated the way it always left.

Growing up in a house where shouting echoed louder than laughter, she learned early that not every family felt like home. A short-tempered father. A mother who was emotionally absent. A sister who received all the affection she silently longed for.

So when love finally knocked on her door, she gave it everything she had.

Twice.

Both times, the men she trusted walked back to their exes, leaving behind broken promises, shattered trust, and wounds no one could see.

Now, love is the last thing Shamika wants.

She chooses her dreams over distractions, her career over relationships, and convinces herself that some people simply aren't meant to be loved.

But destiny has a strange way of rewriting stories.

When a man enters her life without trying to change her, without asking her to trust him before she's ready, and loves her with patience instead of promises... Shamika is forced to ask herself one question.

What if the right love doesn't arrive when you're looking for it...

What if it arrives when you've finally stopped waiting?
