Maker of Sunshine: The Remix

How do you open your heart when no one has ever taught you how?

Nailah James has spent a lifetime keeping her distance. Abandoned by her family, she’s learned that love is fleeting and people always leave. Now a dedicated social worker, she’s built a life rooted in independence—no close friends, no lasting relationships, no risk of heartbreak.

Tyriq Lewis had his future mapped out until a career-ending injury shattered his professional basketball dreams. Years later, he’s a successful doctor, but with an overbearing family and a heart still bruised from his last serious relationship, he’s resigned himself to a bachelor’s life.

When Nailah and Tyriq cross paths by chance, their connection is immediate, electric—and terrifying. Nailah runs, but Tyriq isn’t one to let go easily. What starts as a pursuit becomes a journey of healing, trust, and love. As they navigate past wounds and present fears, they’ll have to decide whether they’re willing to let go of the past in order to build a future together.

A heartfelt story of resilience, love, and the power of choosing to stay—Maker of Sunshine
