About this listen

 Desire: A Crown and Glory Lesbian Love Story
By Zuri Amara
A heart-forward sapphic romance about chosen family, second chances, and a slow-burning desire that refuses to be ignored.
📚 Part of the bestselling Crown and Glory series — lesbian romance stories celebrating Black love, natural hair, and the power of sisterhood. Each book can be read as a standalone.


She’s building a daycare from the ground up. She wasn’t expecting to build a new life.
Jabari Henderson has one goal: open the Children of the Dream early learning center and finally give her community the childcare it deserves. But between ghosted contractors, failed inspections, and mounting pressure, she’s holding everything together with granola bars, caffeine, and grit.
Celeste Knox is starting over in Charlotte with nothing but her hairstyling license, a busted car, and a lifetime of emotional armor. The Crown and Glory Natural Hair Salon is supposed to be her safe haven. Falling apart in the alley? Not part of the plan.
When Jabari and Celeste cross paths behind the salon, something shifts. A quiet comfort turns to late-night texts, slow kisses, and desire that neither of them wants to name. But when the past comes knocking, they’ll have to decide: Is this just chemistry, or the kind of love worth risking it all?


🔥 If you love:
  • Black lesbian romance with emotional depth
  • Queer found family and community-centered love

I love all the Crown and Glory stories. Real women in adult relationships. The virtual voice is surprisingly not too bad.
