👗 Dress Code: whatever makes you feel romantic and sexy

Join Josie Hunter for an intimate evening that centers her first novel, Let Me Handle Your Heart. Designed to feel like a cozy living room gathering, this experience invites honest and reflective conversation.

Look forward to enjoying a beautiful Black woman-owned studio, R&B, jazz, charcuterie, Black-owned wine, an author reading, a moderated and spoiler-free conversation, Q&A, discounted book sale and signing, and photo moments.

• People who want to celebrate Black Love Day and support Black-owned businesses
• Readers who love slow-burn romance with emotional depth
• Women who’d like a slower, more curated Galentine’s Day night
• Those who enjoy deep conversation
• Introverts who crave connection without pressure and crowds

Navigating deep trust issues, Camesha is used to being desired but never truly seen. By night, she’s Cammie—a sought-after vibe model and discreet escort—and by day, she’s a server and bartender, quietly longing for something stable. Tim, a handler for music artists, knows how to solve everyone else’s problems, but hasn’t gotten close to a woman in a long time. When they meet at a rapper’s wild birthday party, an unexpected connection burns into something slow and soft, yet risky, forcing them to face their fears and themselves.

You don’t need to have read the book to attend this event, so bring your boo, get your girls, or treat yourself to a solo date. This is an introvert-friendly experience.

I hope to see you there!
