They Told Her She Was Too Much. Three Men Disagreed.

Why Choose? by Raven DeNoir is available now on Amazon.

What happens when a woman who's spent her entire life being told to make herself smaller meets three men who like her exactly the way she is?

You get Sammy Whitaker.

Sammy knows motorcycles. She knows engines, tools, and how to take apart a machine that somebody else has already given up on. She can diagnose a problem by listening, and she's earned every bit of confidence she brings into a garage.

Unfortunately, confidence is one of those things people have been telling Sammy to tone down for years.

She's too outspoken. Too independent. Too knowledgeable. According to her mother, she needs to give men a little less of herself if she ever hopes to keep one.

Sammy has never been particularly good at that.

And thank goodness for it.

It starts with a motorcycle video

At one in the morning, Jae Shin is scrolling through his phone when he finds a video of a woman taking apart an old Shovelhead motorcycle.

He's supposed to be sleeping. Instead, he's watching her work.

He notices the details most people would miss. The order she removes the parts. The way she handles her tools. The confidence of someone who knows exactly what she's doing.

Then he shares the video with his two best friends, Rain and Ryder Brandt.

Three men. One motorcycle shop. And a woman none of them has met yet.

Well, things get interesting from there. 😂

So why three men?

Because I wanted to write about a woman who doesn't have to apologize for knowing what she wants.

Rain is quiet, deliberate, and accustomed to keeping control.

Ryder has considerably less trouble saying what's on his mind.

Jae notices everything, including the things nobody thinks he's paying attention to.

They're different men, with different personalities and different ways of showing Sammy what she means to them.

And Sammy has her own life, her own ambitions, and absolutely no intention of surrendering the woman she's worked so hard to become.

Of course, wanting something and figuring out how to make it work are two very different things.

That's where the story gets good.

A little about Why Choose?

This is a contemporary interracial why-choose romance featuring a strong Black heroine, two white twin brothers, and their Korean best friend.

There's humor, emotional baggage, complicated relationships, and plenty of heat.

And yes, when I say why choose, I mean it.

This is an adult romance with explicit, on-page intimacy. If you enjoy stories featuring grown people who know what they want, strong chemistry, and relationships that don't follow the usual rules, Sammy's story might be exactly what you're looking for.

Why Choose? is available now!

I'm excited to share Sammy, Rain, Ryder, and Jae with you.

And once you've met them, I want to know something.

Which one caught your attention first: Rain, Ryder, or Jae?

Or are you already Team Sammy because she refuses to pick? 😂

Tell me in the comments. I want to hear your answers.
