LEEDS, U.K. - s4story -- LONDON, UK, Nigerian-born, UK-based author JC Amaechi makes a stirring debut with Black Ink, White Paper, a novel that boldly explores what it means to be seen, silenced, and desired as a Black woman navigating Britain's elite publishing world.

Told through the eyes of Kambili, a determined Nigerian intern working her way into a prestigious London publishing house, the novel offers a raw portrayal of race, power, and unspoken desire. When Kambili finds herself drawn into an emotionally complicated relationship with Taylor Cooper, the company's white CEO, her world unravels in ways that challenge her sense of self, ambition, and belonging.

"This is more than a love story—it's a narrative of survival, identity reclamation, and what it means to choose visibility in a system that thrives on your silence," says JC Amaechi.

With echoes of Queenie, Americanah, and Seven Days in June, Black Ink, White Paper stands out as an intimate yet defiant exploration of interracial romance, cultural dissonance, and the emotional labour of Black womanhood. It's a novel for readers who crave vulnerability, friction, and fearless honesty—woven into a tender, slow-burn romance.

The book is the first in Amaechi's upcoming "Hearts and Skin" series, which will explore themes of race, power, and love across cultural and emotional borders.
