TK Fletcher is a Louisiana-based indie author who writes Black romance and romantic suspense. Her love for storytelling began in high school during the Wattpad days, where writing became a creative outlet long before she considered becoming a published author.

After losing her mother in 2025, TK decided it was time to stop keeping her stories to herself and share them with the world. She made her author debut in April 2026 with Worth the Risk.

TK writes about Black love in all its forms, with stories filled with complicated relationships, family, humor, real-life conversations, a little drama, and plenty of spice. Her characters aren’t perfect. They make mistakes, grow, fall in love, and figure life out along the way.

Outside of writing, TK holds multiple degrees and is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Falcon Josiah St. Claire knows what it means to love someone through illness. Watching his mother battle a chronic disease taught him that strength is not always loud and devotion is not always easy. So, when he meets Mazikeen, he does not see a woman who needs saving. He sees someone worth standing beside.

What begins as an unexpected connection becomes a love tested by hospital rooms, unanswered prayers, impossible decisions, and the kind of hope that can feel cruel when life keeps changing the rules. As Falcon offers Mazikeen a place to rest, she must decide whether home is somewhere she can return to or something she is finally brave enough to build.",{"_354":78,"_33":82,"_416":417,"_418":66},"B.

Small towns have long memories…and falling for your new boss isn’t exactly something that can be kept quiet.

Noah Whitaker is focused on two things: running his family’s inn and avoiding dating at all costs. A workaholic determined to make his town proud, he barely has time to manage Whitaker Inn, let alone look after his three younger brothers. But when a stunning mystery woman from the bar turns out to be his new hire, keeping things professional suddenly becomes a lot harder.

Bailey Collins came to Bexley Grove looking for a fresh start. A self-proclaimed people pleaser desperate to prove herself in the event planning industry, she’s quickly swept up in the chaos of nosy townsfolk and a boss she definitely shouldn’t be daydreaming about.

Their bar hookup was supposed to be a one-night thing. Instead, it turns out to be the start of something neither of them can ignore. But in a town where everyone is watching, will they risk everything for a chance at something real?

Perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Professionally Yours is a swoony found-family romance filled with small-town charm, quick-witted banter, and a love that refuses to stay strictly professional.

She had a small circle of loyal friends, a promising relationship, and a life that looked wonderfully fulfilling from the outside. Even though things seemed good, there was still something missing. It was something she could no longer ignore: God.

When a major crisis struck her family, Blue fought tooth and nail to hold it together, and risked everything to protect the mother she loved so much. But when her efforts weren't enough, and her world began to unravel multiple threads at a time, she was forced into a dangerous reality she never saw coming. She knew without a doubt she couldn't escape on her own.

Spiritually broken, desperate, and running out of time, Blue had to confront the truth about who she was, what she believed, and face the God she had been avoiding.

From the moment Jordan Rivers saw Blue, he knew she was unique and highly unforgettable. His spirit told him she was his person, long before his flesh realized it. She was the kind of woman a man didn’t walk away from. But loving Blue meant stepping into the maelstrom of her life, which was an epic storm. He’d have to fight for her when she no longer had the strength to fight for herself.

With Blue’s life on the line, Jordan was in a race against time. He prayed to God to reach Blue before she was lost for good.

What was supposed to be a one night stand leads them to a place they never thought they’d be.

Lyric Jackson is more than satisfied with her rolodex of men and women to warm her bed, with no room for feelings. For nine years, she has found comfort with her editing job, apartment with her best friend, and being away from home which holds reminders of her father’s passing.

When Lyric gets a call about her mom's health scare, she decides to return home. She sees the move as a chance to embrace new opportunities. However, she is forced to face everything she's been avoiding: writing, grief, and... love.

With Summer Break ahead, Drew Brown only has plans for one thing: painting to his heart’s content before another school year. A chance meeting during a night at the karaoke bar ends in a rendezvous in the sheets with Lyric. A night with a woman he can’t stop thinking about.

While Lyric plans on leaving that night as it was, Drew plans to make it more than just a one night stand. He goes into full pursuit to show Lyric things she’s never experienced romantically: understanding, attention, and his heart.

But can Lyric let go of pains of the past to embrace the love that awaits her right here at home?

Growing up, Meisha kept a journal or diary on and off to chronicle her thoughts and feelings. But quickly, that turned into her writing a fiction series in middle school and later, writing poetry in high school and fiction and creative nonfiction throughout college. She always found a way to tell stories through different art forms: whether it was drawing, hair expression, music, or writing.

Meisha earned a bachelors in English with a concentration in Writing before returning home to become a teacher. She gained plenty of accolades during her teaching career, including a masters degree in education. However, years in the classroom and a pandemic lead her to realize a childhood dream: to become an author.

Meisha still lives in her home city of Memphis, TN, where she still works in education, while learning to balance it with her passion for creating and writing stories. When she’s not mentoring teachers and students or cranking out stories, she loves spending time with her family and listening to a good R&B music playlist.

Beyah and Vante were always a pair… until they weren’t. She chose to further her career and leave home. He chose to stay, too afraid to leave everything he ever knew. Beyah is unaware that their long distance isn’t working as well as she thought. A surprise visit home and she’s faced with all she has missed. Him, his new girlfriend, and the child he has on the way. In six months a lot could change, but she had been unaware. Now she’s faced with heartbreak and anger.

There’s only one problem with his new obsession. His live-in girlfriend he’s been with for years. More of a situationship than a relationship.

Willa Willis doesn’t need anyone. After years of self-discipline and staunch routines, she’s curated the life she always wanted. Her photography studio is a proud middle finger to her estranged family and everyone else who doubted her. But even a self-made woman has to let loose once in a while. A birthday trip is exactly the break she needs, until Mr. Too Perfect shows up.

Trevor Jones lives life on the bright side. Despite a harrowing childhood, the former Coast Guardsman doesn’t sweat the small stuff and never holds a grudge—except for one. When the past comes back to haunt him, a weekend getaway serves as the perfect distraction. Running into the woman of his dreams is icing on the cake.

Convinced they’re incompatible, Willa refuses to give him the time of day. Trevor’s determined to prove her wrong. When they end up in the same bar, one flirty encounter leads to an unforgettable night together. But the next morning she’s gone, forcing him to grapple with unanswered questions and radio silence.

Willa’s intent on leaving the past where it is...until two little pink lines shake up all her plans.

Luna Bennett
I walked away from the man I thought I’d spend forever with after five years of trying to make our relationship work. Since then, I’ve built a life that feels safe. One where I can count on myself and no one else. Falling in love again was never part of the plan. But Ellis has a way of showing up exactly when he says he will, and little by little, he’s making me question everything I thought I knew about love. The hardest part isn’t falling for him. It’s believing I don’t have to earn his love to be worth choosing.

Then I met Luna. She makes the quiet moments feel like something worth holding onto, and for the first time in years, I find myself wanting more than just surviving. I just have to believe it’s okay to let my heart love again.

One photograph. And the most dangerous man in Brooklyn standing between her and the past.

Jade Monroe built her life on rules.

Rules keep you safe. Rules keep you alive. Rules keep you from becoming the kind of woman who waits for men to come home in handcuffs…or coffins.

So when someone from her father’s past resurfaces—watching her, following her, demanding payment for debts she never owed—Jade does what she’s always done:

She handles it alone.

Until Cristóbal “Crimson” De León makes that impossible.

Powerful. Calculated. Untouchable. A crime lord quietly building a legitimate empire on the bones of a criminal one. When Crimson offers Jade a lucrative consulting arrangement, she tells herself it’s strictly business. Professional. Controlled. Safe.

But nothing about Crimson is safe.

He notices too much. The fear she hides behind routine. The scars she never explains. And when the threat against her becomes undeniable, Crimson offers the one thing no one ever has:

Protection.

His resources. His power. His world.

The cost? Letting him in.

For a man who’s made control his religion, protecting Jade means breaking every rule he’s ever lived by. For a woman who’s survived by trusting no one, accepting his help means risking the one thing she’s fought to bury:

The truth about what happened twelve years ago.

Eros gave Amara Hart two rules: never tell anyone she is a cupid and absolutely never fall in love. Everything was going just fine until tech CEO Julien Grant walked into her bakery with a proposition…

Amara Hart is known as the Cupid of New Orleans. At least, that’s what everyone calls her. But, she doesn’t shoot arrows. She bakes. With a little magic and a lot of frosting, she helps hopeless romantics find their perfect match through her bakery. But when her matchmaking numbers start to fall, Eros threatens to shut the bakery down.

Her only hope comes in the form of Julien Grant, a brilliant, oh so sexy, tech CEO who has no interest in love but plenty of interest in making his new dating app a success. He needs Amara’s match making expertise, and she needs his business.

The plan is simple: make the app successful, save her bakery, and move on.

Except Julien is starting to suspect Amara is hiding something. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes for Amara to follow Eros’s rules.

When a cupid falls in love, things are bound to get messy. Especially when magic, secrets, and a whole lot of frosting are involved.

Bound by blood and contracts, loyalty is demanded, obedience is enforced, and escape is not an option.

Fae enrolls at the university that forged her nightmares, determined to survive long enough to tear it apart from the inside. But when her best friend disappears without a trace, survival is no longer enough. She wants answers. She wants vengeance.

Roman has always watched her.

Silent. Patient. Obsessed.

He has loved Fae for years, even as she refuses to trust him, even as she sharpens herself into a weapon. To Roman, she is inevitable. His. And he will burn the world that hurt her if that is what it takes to keep her.

As contracts tighten and bodies fall, Fae must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice for the truth—and whether trusting Roman will save her… or seal her fate.

Because in a world built on blood, love is the most dangerous contract of all.

ADRIENNE

Life is about new experiences—so being offered the role of Unit Chief of the Profiling and Investigation Unit, was a life-changing decision. Everything is finally falling into place. Or so I thought. When I’m assigned to handle a case that could make or break the future of our department, I discover that there’s more at stake than I ever imagined.

With my partner, Evan Andrews, and our talented team, I’m determined to uncover the secrets threatening everything we’ve worked for. As the case unfolds, I find myself distracted by something unexpected—the undeniable chemistry between Evan and me. He’s everything I never saw coming, especially with those unofficial dates, the secret hot chocolates, and how he makes my heart race when he enters a room.

Love wasn’t part of my plan when I took this job, yet with every passing day, I can’t ignore that our connection feels real—and that terrifies me.

EVAN

My goals are prove myself to the board and continue to serve my community. What was not on my list; completely fall for my partner Adrienne Cross. Adrienne is everything I never knew I needed. She’s strong, brilliant, and captivating in every way. Working alongside her on this high-stakes case makes me want to protect her even more, even if it costs me my life.

This case might be our most dangerous mission yet, but winning Adrienne’s heart? That’s a challenge I never saw coming. Now, I have two solve this case and fight for a future with the woman who is constantly on my mind. But will I succeed or will I fail?

Ember Rae Sullivan is a rising chef determined to build her own culinary empire. Control is her comfort zone, and she plans to keep it that way.
Love is a distraction she can’t afford, so she lives by two rules: make your money and never let a man get in the way of your dreams.

Elijah Claus is exactly the kind of man those rules were made for.

Persistent, possessive, and used to getting what he wants, Elijah takes Ember’s boundaries as a challenge—and her resistance as a reason to try harder.

One blurred line is all it takes to complicate everything.

Now, Ember is determined to keep her focus on the future she’s worked too hard for, while Elijah seems just as determined to make room for himself in it.

But when one impulsive decision forces Ember to rethink everything she thought she wanted, she decides it’s finally time to bet on herself.

Except Elijah has already decided he’s betting on her too.

And the more Ember tries to keep her boundaries in place, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull bringing her right back to him.

Because when two people share the same flame the rest is just timing.

Now his family is secretly determined that he gets everything they know he deserves…even if he thinks he doesn’t. His bipolar personality, street mentality, and his unwavering desire to protect himself has created a man that fears nothing and never folds…until he meets Tyarah.

Tyarah “Ty” Reid is a pint-sized beauty with big Leo energy. She knows who she is and what she wants; she is just catching hell trying to get it. Prioritizing her family over herself, years of parental neglect, and a broken heart has left her somewhat broken-but never bothered.

Forced to take a back-seat to her less qualified counterparts in the white-washed world of public relations, Ty’s career is just as stagnant as her love life. That is…until the day the Dudley brothers swaggered into a conference room looking for representation…and swaggered out with her heart.

\n
\n

Now Dykoyta’s and Tyarah’s worlds collide as both struggle to resist the undeniable attraction of similar souls. As they work together closely to clear his brother’s name, neither of them consciously desires to cross the temptation of a forbidden workplace jump-off. Yet the intensity of their passion makes them question if they should risk it all…

One wishes to never love at all. One wishes to never love again.

With one of her son’s fathers in prison and the other unconcerned, Shiloh refused to let single motherhood be the thing to shatter her dreams.

After opening her bakery truck with her best friend, she figured all she needed to do was run her business and raise her sons. Everything was going according to plan until an unfortunate series of events put her right in the path of Quinton Woods.

Quinton, a single father and mechanic, had the philosophy that his children and his business were his number one priority. A schoolyard fight and a busted radiator changed everything.

Yara Fairchild only needed a job. With bills piling up, she was desperate. Gino Grant had built an empire in the streets, but because of his wife’s greed, he was on his way out of his illegal operations and ending his marriage in the most vicious way. Fate brought them together when Yara started working for Gino’s wife.

And when they lay eyes on each other for the first time, Gino doesn’t care if he has to move heaven and earth to have her. There’s not a person, place, or thing that can keep him from giving Yara the life she deserves.

But being with Gino means that Yara will fall for her boss’s husband. The job is her only financial support, and she feels stuck between a rock and a hard place.

She’s terrified to trust him and take the leap. He’s afraid his failing marriage will keep him from who he’s meant to be with.

The problem is, their love is too powerful to ignore, which means that it should be worth the risk . . . right?
