Steps Towards the Sun

She thought loving him was her purpose—until it nearly broke her.

Imara Hastings gave everything to the boy she loved.

From their high school days to long nights in college, she poured her heart into Derek—believing they'd build a life together. But now, he’s chasing a dream that leaves no room for her, and Imara is left holding the pieces of a relationship that only works when she sacrifices herself.

When Derek chooses career over commitment—again—Imara is forced to confront a truth she’s long ignored: loving someone shouldn’t mean losing yourself.

As she throws herself into her nursing career, reclaims her independence, and leans on the quiet strength of her faith, Imara begins to ask a question she never dared voice—what if the love she’s been waiting for isn’t the one she gave away, but the one she gives to herself?

If you’ve ever stayed too long, loved too hard, or forgotten your worth in the name of “forever,” this powerful slow-burn romance will stay with you long after the last word.

When Love Finds Home is the first standalone novel in the Steps Towards the Sun series—a clean, emotionally rich Black romance about boundaries, becoming, and the hard beauty of letting go.
