Comfort

Comfort: A Crown and Glory Lesbian Love Story
Book Three in the Crown and Glory Series
by Zuri Amara

A new lesbian romance about chronic illness, healing touch, and the sacred power of Black love—now with a bonus chapter for the paperback edition.

At Crown & Glory Natural Hair Salon in Charlotte, North Carolina, hair isn’t just hair—it’s culture, identity, and survival.

Sara, a brilliant computer science professor, has always kept things under control… until her hair starts falling out and nothing seems to stop it. What begins as a search for a second opinion turns into something deeper when she meets Dawn, a warm-hearted stylist rooted in faith, family, and her community. When Sara is diagnosed with lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus), Dawn becomes more than a stylist—she becomes her safe place.

As Sara learns to live with chronic illness, she and Dawn grow close through rituals of self-care, long walks, nourishing meals, and deep spiritual connection. The friendship evolves into sensual intimacy, and together, they create a new kind of love—quiet, powerful, and grown.

This paperback edition includes a bonus chapter, “After the Church Picnic,” where Sara and Dawn let down their hair (and everything else) after a day of being respectable Black Southern women in public. What follows is laughter, revelation, and a sensual, sun-drenched night of celebration.

Comfort is a passionate, emotionally rich story about love later in life, navigating chronic illness, and finding joy in the arms of someone who sees you completely.

For mature audiences 18+.

Trigger Warnings:
– Lupus (SLE) and chronic autoimmune illness
– Grief and loss (death of a spouse)

Fans of Black LGBTQ+ fiction, mature sapphic romance, and healing love stories will find this Crown & Glory installment unforgettable.
