A New Novel by Nicki Dana
The Lion and the Scorpion
Love is the risk.
Healing is the reward.
The Storyteller
She writes the kind of love
that leaves a mark.
Nicki Dana writes erotic Black fiction at the crossroads of sensuality, sci-fi, and soul. Her stories are velvet-soft on the surface — and underneath, they're the kind of intimate that asks something of you.

The Featured Novel
The Lion and the Scorpion
One blind date. Eight hours. A connection neither saw coming. When powerhouse attorney Imani Blackwell meets the quiet, watchful Cairo Thorne, an eight-hour conversation becomes an all-consuming love neither of them can explain — or resist.
"Sometimes soulmates meet long before they are healed enough to keep each other."
— from The Lion and the Scorpion
