Real Love Demands Surrender

Kyrah Morris has made a life she can stand behind as Dean of the College of Business at Crescent Falls University, an HBCU where success, independence, and chosen family define her days.

Convinced that love only brings pain, she confines intimacy to friends with benefits and keeps her heart out of reach.

Then Shiro Bako meets her on the dance floor: a family-devoted owner of a thriving auto repair shop who has always enjoyed beautiful, thick Black women who know how to have a good time, until one dance leaves him hungry for more.

Kyrah maintains they are not serious, but he will not back down, using patience and charm to show her that lasting love need not repeat the heartbreak she already survived.

Just as she begins to open up, the past returns and old wounds threaten everything they are building.

Shiro is not afraid to love her for good, even if winning her trust means asking her to risk the one thing she has spent years protecting.
