They Can Never Make Me Hate You: An African American Romance: Standalone

Coco Joseph has always been the type to put others first, even when the world gave her every reason to stop. A curvy chocolate queen with a heart too big for her own good, she's spent years battling the scars of her past. Losing someone close at a young age broke her spirit, and her father's harsh words about her looks pushed her into a cycle of self-doubt and depression. Looking for love in the wrong places, she ended up with a man who only made the pain worse.

But Coco isn't one to stay down for long. With her ride-or-die crew-Mickey, JJ, and Spring-by her side, she finds the strength to pull herself out of the darkness. She's just starting to reclaim her life when Kyrie steps into the picture, changing everything she thought she knew about men and love.

Kyrie is the definition of self-made. From the grind to the glory, he's built his empire with grit and hustle, and now money isn't an issue. But for all his success, something's been missing. The moment he meets Coco, he knows she's what he's been searching for. Her beauty is undeniable, but it's her aura that captivates him. Still, Coco isn't one to fall for smooth lines and pretty faces-she's been burned before.

Despite her caution, Kyrie's sincerity and undeniable charm begin to break through her walls. Slowly but surely, Coco finds herself drawn to him, risking her heart for a love she never thought she'd trust again. Together, they embark on a journey of passion, healing, and self-discovery, but love is never simple. As betrayal, heartbreak, and old wounds threaten to tear them apart, Coco and Kyrie must decide if their love is worth fighting for.

If you're a fan of African American romance, second chance love stories, and unapologetically real characters, "They Can Never Make Me Hate You" will keep you turning pages and rooting for a love that defies all expectations.
