Drawn to You: An African-American Sweet Romance Standalone

Sometimes the sweetest love stories begin with a simple act of trust—and a town that refuses to let you feel alone.

Wandering filmmaker Janelle Brooks has spent her life capturing everyone else’s memories while quietly believing she doesn’t deserve a place to stay. When her work leads her to the welcoming town of Sweetgum Meadows, she expects to film a few heartfelt interviews, not to be embraced by a community that makes her feel seen for the first time.

Comic shop owner Demetrius Lakeson has built his life around kindness, faith in people, and giving kids a place to belong. Romance, however, is something he’s learned to keep at arm’s length. Then Janelle walks into his store, and suddenly the walls around his heart don’t feel quite so steady.

When a beloved collector entrusts them with his treasured comics, stories celebrating hope, courage, and heroes who look like the kids in their town, Janelle and Demetrius must work together to honor his legacy. Along the way, gentle conversations turn into deeper friendship… and friendship starts to feel like something more.

But learning to love means learning to stay, and both of them carry pasts that make staying feel dangerous.

With the warmth of small-town life, found-family friendships, and a romance that blossoms slowly and tenderly, Drawn to You is a heartfelt, uplifting story about finding home where you least expect it, and discovering that love doesn’t rush… it roots.

If you love clean, hopeful romances filled with community, healing, and happily-ever-afters, turn the page and fall in love with Drawn to You today.
