Her mother chose men over her, a deception that landed her in the foster care system. From that moment, heartbreak becomes a cycle she knows all too well. Disappointment has been her longest companion, so she stops believing in anything she can’t control. Instead, she pours herself into what she can trust: her recipes and the bakery she’s determined to turn into a thriving business. Love, in her opinion, has always been temporary and painful. She wants no parts of it. Or at least that’s what she thought until a car crashes into her building, which forces her to look into his eyes. For the first time, she’s faced with a choice: protect her heart and run from the possibility of more pain, or risk everything for a chance to surrender to love.

His life has always been rewarding, built around his passion for fixing anything with an engine. Routine fits him, and the only chaos he ever faces usually comes from his wayward cousin. Still, beneath the stability is a quiet longing for something more, something missing. Then his cousin unexpectedly puts him in a situation that brings him face-to-face with the answer to all his prayers. The problem is she doesn’t see what he does: their future. But loving her means being patient with her fears, her resistance, and the abandonment scars she keeps locked around her heart. He’s determined to prove to her that with him, she no longer has to shoulder the chains alone.

She believes men are temporary and love never lasts. He knows she’s the woman he’s been seeking. Can he convince her that not every love story ends in heartache? Or will she run before she gives herself the chance to be loved?","format",{"_99":153,"_33":69,"_154":155,"_156":63},"publisher","page_count","duration","published_date","July 7, 2026","pub_date","July 7","isbn","asin","B0H7XT5JZB","hex_code","#1f1913","language","English","purchase_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/5039i/6afa4693-11d3-4bec-ae42-80d5dba4c38c.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F5039i%2F6afa4693-11d3-4bec-ae42-80d5dba4c38c.jpg","user_review",3,"type","print","audio",{"_99":158,"_33":92,"_127":159,"_160":-5,"_161":-5,"_162":163,"_164":165,"_166":46},"6a4ba229-2a05-4386-8e29-97efb2d36758","216-riley-baxter","biography","image","books_count",31,"roles",[167],"in_catalog","author",146,"Strangers to Lovers","category","trope","strangers-to-lovers","/tropes/strangers-to-lovers","selectable","sensitive","position","parent","isLoggedIn",["P",179],"result",{"_21":188,"_23":189,"_19":190,"_191":192,"_25":193,"_194":195,"_27":196},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_207":63,"_208":63},{"_29":30,"_31":197,"_33":188,"_198":199,"_200":201,"_25":193},"Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[202,203,204,205,206],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
