Black Card

Black Card

Steal the CEO's Black Card... or His Frozen Heart? "Please... please, sir. I'm begging you. I didn't steal the card." Belle's trembling voice cracked as tears streamed down her face. "Believe me..." "You belong in prison, fraud!" the store manager spat, his eyes filled with contempt. Humiliated and surrounded by accusing stares, Belle could only clutch her worn bag and pray someone would listen. But no one did. After all, who would believe a poor medical student over the owner of a limitless Black Card? Belle had been fighting for survival ever since she lost her parents. An orphan with nothing but a dream. A dream of becoming a doctor. A dream she once shared with the parents she loved more than life itself. For years, she lived in a cramped room inside a rundown building. She endured hunger, sleepless nights, and the mockery of classmates who looked down on her faded clothes and worn-out shoes. Life had never been kind to her. Yet despite her hardships, she never stole. Never cheated. Never took what wasn't hers. So how did she end up accused of stealing the Black Card belonging to Ethan DelValle—the cold, powerful, and untouchable CEO everyone feared? The man who could buy anything he wanted. The man whose single word could ruin lives. And the man who, for reasons she couldn't understand, suddenly became interested in hers. What begins as a humiliating misunderstanding soon entangles Belle in Ethan DelValle's world—a world of wealth, power, secrets, and dangerous attraction. She never wanted his money. She never wanted his Black Card. But what happens when she accidentally steals something far more valuable? His heart.

My Black Little Mermaid

In the 1980's in a small, not too well known town, a young Black girl named Ariel Smith in a mostly white school juggles her studies to get into college, and deal with a murderer committing multiple hate crimes, so you'd think she wouldn't have time for romance until she saved a young white boy named Ernest Rivers from drowning, literally. "Dangerous? He looks so peaceful here. Angelic almost. How could someone so beautiful be dangerous?" Satan was once an angel. Warning: depictions of sexual assault, racism and murder throughout the story. If any of these topics are triggering for you, I do not recommend reading. Thank you.

Deep Down Your Black Heart

In the shattered remains of a divided world, Rivermirror stands as a city of shadows—ruled by chaos, secrets, and ruthless ambition. Among its broken streets and hidden corners, two lives converge: Hound, a mercenary cursed by visions of fractured futures, and Argent, a deadly assassin whose silver-braided hair slices through enemies as easily as her carefully crafted lies. Bound by a soul brand, their uneasy alliance thrusts them into a heist that ignites a chain of betrayal, war, and unimaginable consequences. When a daring raid on River's military vault unearths a dark attribute symbiote and a mysterious core relay, the balance of power between two fractured nations is forever altered. As commanders plot revenge, and Rivermirror’s elites spin their webs of deceit, Hound and Argent must navigate a labyrinth of loyalty, survival, and ambition. But trust is a luxury in a city where betrayal is currency, and every choice pushes them closer to a future neither can fully control. With the line between villain and hero blurred, how far will they go to escape their fates? And what price are they willing to pay to survive in a world where hope is as fleeting as shadows? Dark, gripping, and unapologetically raw, Deep Down Your Black Heart is a dystopian fantasy that delves into the depths of ambition, morality, and the haunting weight of choices.

Which must read books best explore Black identity and history?

For a lighter, but no less insightful, contemporary take, 'Such a Fun Age' by Kiley Reid is a sharp social satire about performative allyship, transactional relationships, and the complexities of modern racism. It's a page-turner that makes you cringe and think in equal measure. It explores Black identity through the lens of a young babysitter navigating a well-meaning but ultimately toxic white family.

Which best seller books by Black authors are essential for a new reader?

Finally, I’d say ‘The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story’, created by Nikole Hannah-Jones, is an epoch-defining work. Expanding on the Pulitzer-winning magazine issue, this book reframes American history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of the national narrative.

It includes essays, poems, and fiction from a stellar lineup of contributors. It’s a challenging, necessary, and conversation-changing bestseller. For a new reader, it’s arguably one of the most essential texts for understanding not just Black history, but American history as it truly unfolded.

What defines a must read Black book in contemporary fiction?

Accessibility matters, but not in the 'dumbed down' sense. A defining book for our time should be approachable on multiple levels. You can enjoy it for the surface-level story, but it also rewards a closer, more analytical read. It invites you in rather than building a wall of impenetrable prose to prove its literary merit. Think of the way a book like 'Piranesi' works—you're swept along by the wonder and mystery, but the deeper you go, the richer the thematic layers become.

That kind of layered craft means the book has longevity. It's not just reacting to this week's news cycle; it's exploring timeless human questions through a distinctly contemporary lens. A must-read should feel both of its moment and somehow timeless, a story that future readers will look to to understand what it felt like to be alive and thinking right now.

What must read books by Black authors are essential for book clubs?

Our club includes a few teachers, so we sometimes lean into YA to discuss pedagogy. 'Dear Martin' by Nic Stone and 'The Poet X' by Elizabeth Acevedo (who is Afro-Latina) are both phenomenal in how they engage teen readers with style and urgency. 'The Poet X' is written in verse, which is a form many adults rarely read.

Discussing how these books approach tough topics for younger audiences made us reflect on our own coming-of-age reads and what's changed. It’s a different, but valuable, critical lens.
