Nina Moore has always known who she is—at least, she thought she did. Raised by her legendary Black musician father and a loving stepmother, Nina was brought up with pride in her Black identity. But her white skin and blue eyes tell the world a different story.

Haunted by a recurring nightmare that pushes her to dig for clues about her birth mother, long-buried family secrets begin to unravel—and so does everything Nina thought she understood about her life.

Caught between a world that grants her privileges she didn’t ask for and a man she’s fallen for who can't risk what it would mean to love her, Nina confronts the painful realities of race, belonging, and the lies sometimes told to survive.

As love struggles against legacy, and identity collides with history, Nina must ask herself: What defines us—the struggles we inherit, or the blood in our veins?

Skin Deep is a powerful, emotional novel about identity, love, secrets, and the courage to define yourself beyond what the world sees. Perfect for readers who crave romance layered with real-world stakes, unforgettable characters, and twist endings that stay with you long after the last page.
