Cherish

The Crown and Glory: Lesbian Love Stories of the Black Women of Crown and Glory Natural Hair Salon Series, Book 1

By Zuri Amara

When a guarded hair specialist and a bold car mechanic meet over the sacred ritual of loc care, sparks ignite into a love neither woman saw coming.

A Short Story of Love, Intimacy, and Finding Home

Dana never lets anyone touch her hair—or her heart. Fiercely independent and guarded, the mechanic spends her days under the hoods of broken cars, hiding behind a crown of long, meticulously cared-for locs. But everything changes when she steps into Crown & Glory Natural Hair Studio and meets Abike, a skilled stylist with a warm smile, gentle hands, and a spark that ignites something Dana thought she’d lost forever.

What begins as a routine hair appointment becomes a journey of trust, intimacy, and self-discovery. As their connection deepens, Dana and Abike navigate the tender nuances of a love that feels as natural as it is electrifying. Together, they uncover the power of letting someone in, not just to your hair but to your soul.

Cherish is a heartfelt and steamy tale of two women learning what it truly means to be seen, valued, and cherished.

For fans of emotionally rich, romantic erotica celebrating African American love and empowerment, Cherish will leave you breathless and yearning for more.
