What You Know About Me: A Multicultural Urban Romance of Survival, Passion, and Love

By Deanna Brown

What You Know About Me

She was never supposed to survive. She was never supposed to be loved. But she refused to break.

Selena grew up abused by the very people who should have protected her. Instead of love, she was given cruelty. Instead of encouragement, she was called fast, unwanted, dumb, and unworthy. Her curves as a teenager were mocked, her future written off before she had a chance to claim it. In her small Midwestern town, her own family laughed at her, told her no man would ever stay, and left her to believe she was nothing more than the shame they carried.

But Selena refused to be their victim.

Every insult became fuel. Every lonely night became a lesson. Every tear built the foundation for the woman she was destined to become. She chased education with a hunger, earning degrees they swore she would never touch. She built her own practice, helping others heal from pain she knew too well. She created the kind of life no one expected for her. Yet even with her success, the void inside her never truly disappeared.

Then came Dante.

Tall. Magnetic. Relentless. A man raised in love, yet drawn to her fire. With Dante, intimacy was not just desire-it was healing. His kisses rewrote her story. His hands worshiped the scars she once hid. His passion devoured her pain until only pleasure remained. He whispered promises she never thought she would hear: that she was beautiful, worthy, cherished. With him, Selena discovered a love she thought she'd never deserve-raw, sensual, powerful, and life-changing.

But love doesn't silence the past so easily.

Dante's ex refuses to let go, jealousy burns across social media, and old ghosts from Selena's childhood resurface to test her strength. Kiana-the ex who cannot accept defeat-pops up at his home, her job, even online, determined to tear Selena down. Secrets, betrayal, and obsession turn passion into fire, pushing Selena to confront not only Kiana but the demons of her own past.

In a world where envy lingers and every move is watched, Selena learns that survival doesn't end when you succeed-it continues when you love. To protect her future, her man, and herself, she must risk it all.
