You Think It's Love by Fred Rose is a bold, soul-stirring novel that rips through the illusion of perfect romance to expose the raw, complicated truth beneath.

In the blazing Caribbean sun and under the cold shadows of American cities, three powerful love stories unfold-tales of passion, betrayal, obsession, and survival. Chester's innocent island romance with Annette spirals into a haunting memory he can't escape, even as he builds a new life with Simone in Atlanta. Delia and John flee Long Island hoping to outrun the wreckage of infidelity, only to discover that distance can't bury secrets. And Rob and Carmen, both scarred by the past, cling to a fragile hope that love might finally last-if only they can outrun their own doubts.

These aren't just fairy tales. These are love stories carved out of real life-messy, electric, and heartbreakingly human. Driven by the rhythms of island heritage and the ache of migration, You Think It's Love unflinchingly explores what happens when love is mistaken for rescue, when chemistry disguises control, and when silence becomes the loudest answer of all.

Because sometimes love isn't a blessing. Sometimes, it's a lesson, a reckoning.
