Heart Strings and Love Nots

Friendship isn't always pretty—but it's always personal.

Heart Strings & Love Nots is a raw, hilarious, and emotionally charged novel that follows three Black women in their thirties as they struggle to untangle love, faith, and identity in a world that constantly pulls them in opposite directions.

Dominique, Reese, and Skylar have been best friends long enough to know each other's flaws—and long enough to weaponize them when necessary. Their bond is fierce, messy, and unbreakable… until life starts testing every belief they hold.

Dominique is unapologetic, sharp-tongued, and allergic to hypocrisy. She prides herself on independence, even when survival forces her into dangerous compromises that threaten her sense of self.
Reese is tender-hearted and deeply faithful, trying to live a godly life while wrestling with desire, shame, and a desperate need to be loved. Her search for a "man of God" may cost her more than she's prepared to lose.
Skylar is the mediator—the thinker, the realist, the one holding everyone together while quietly battling her own trauma, loneliness, and fear of vulnerability.

From freezing outside a backwoods nightclub on New Year's Eve to navigating toxic relationships, church politics, sexual temptation, family pressure, and devastating betrayals, these women confront the truth about love the hard way: sometimes it saves you, and sometimes it breaks you.

As secrets come to light and choices spiral out of control, each woman must face a painful question—
Who are you when love, faith, and friendship all demand something different from you?
