Haven: A Crown and Glory Lesbian Love Story

At Crown and Glory Natural Hair Salon, the chairs hold more than clients. They hold stories, healing, and hope. For Lyric James, a gifted young stylist with waist-length microlocs, her internship is not only the first step toward her career, it is a lifeline. She carries the scars of foster care and a painful history she rarely shares.

Mouse Freeman, quiet and steady, is known as the “baby whisperer” at Children of the Dream daycare. Her life is simple and private, but everything changes when she opens her world to Lyric. Together, they discover the possibility of safety, love, and joy where once there was only survival.

With the unwavering support of the salon sisterhood, Lyric and Mouse step into a romance that is tender, passionate, and transformative. Their story is both a spicy sapphic love story and a celebration of community. Readers will find themselves immersed in a world of Black women in love, where intimacy and found family coexist with laughter, gossip, and steamy nights that make this a truly unforgettable Black lesbian romance.

Perfect for fans of natural hair salon romance, LGBTQ women’s fiction, and queer romance with Black protagonists, Haven is both sensual and soulful. It stands boldly within the tradition of sapphic erotica, centering on women of color's love stories that highlight resilience, tenderness, and joy. As part of a steamy lesbian romance series, it proves that home is not just a place. It is the love you build together.
