The Noire titles will celebrate the complexities, diversity, imagination, beauty, sensuality, sexuality and scope of Black love; a love so strong as to hold the weight of the Black experience. We will honor this love with a range of romances including traditional, contemporary, historical, paranormal, futuristic, fantasy, shape shifting and time travel.
