Lick Me Now, Then Love Me Later: A Steamy and Sweet Plus-Size Urban Lesbian Romance

She thought she only liked the rough edge of the world. Then a quiet banker with a steady gaze and curves like a Philly skyline walked into her life, turning everything upside down. Kerry-Ann is done letting people in. Since losing the sister who protected her, she’s buried herself in silence, memories, and the safety of what she thinks she knows about herself. Romance? Women? Not her scene. Not until a towering, tattooed goddess named Gianna steps into a crowded South Street salon and rewrites the rules of the room with a single, lingering look. Gianna is sharp, successful, and entirely unimpressed by Kerry-Ann’s guarded armor. What starts as a casual drink in a dimly lit corner bar quickly spirals into an electric, undeniable pull. Between late-night confessions, stolen heat under city streetlights, and a day at the zoo that upends all her expectations, Kerry-Ann finds herself falling faster and harder than she ever imagined possible. But letting someone in means facing the ghosts she’s been running from. Can Gianna show her that the softest places can also be the strongest? Lick Me Now, Then Love Me Later is a scorching, heartfelt, and deeply tender urban romance about grief, unexpected desire, and finding the one person who makes the whole world feel a little brighter.
