Welcome

We are a Black woman-owned book box celebrating diverse love stories. Each month we discover swoon-worthy romantic novels by Black, Indigenous, Latine, Asian, and other authors of color, carefully curated to honor authentic love in all its forms.

Our mission

At Shades of Desire Books & Co., our mission is to celebrate, elevate, and center the voices of BILPOC authors through thoughtfully curated book boxes. We believe love comes in every color, culture, and experience.

We are committed to amplifying these diverse stories and building an inclusive community of readers who believe in the power of representation. 

Our goal

Our limited pre-order boxes will feature all shades of romance from cute rom-coms to dark fantasy and everything in between. Expect beautiful hardcover special edition books delivered right to your door.

Together, we'll celebrate stories that deserve the spotlight. Get ready to unbox every shade of romance.
