Because of You
Shanicexlola, Shanice Swint

Healing could be found in love, but twenty-five-year-old Mia Alexander was against it. Her outlook on love and being cared for was tarnished by generational curses and broken promises. Possessing a natural beauty that she doubted often, Mia was her toughest critic whom neglected the necessity of self-love.
Stumped that a woman as delicate as Mia struggled internally, thirty-year-old Keese Hattan couldn’t help that he was drawn to her brokenness. Deeming her mean and rude as ever, sticking around to save a woman who denied she needed help became impractical.
Love harbored a mighty will to suffice the loneliness Mia felt suffocated by. However, if she wasn’t inclined to accept the blessing that approached her, she could miss out on a substantial opportunity to officially heal.
