The Color of Heat

By: Olivia J Cross

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Ava, a 23-year-old aspiring photographer fresh out of college, moves to Atlanta to start her career and carve out her independence. While navigating the vibrant, fast-paced city, she finds herself drawn into a new social scene filled with art, culture, and compelling personalities. Among them is Marcus, a charismatic DJ with a magnetic energy and an unapologetic confidence that challenges her guarded nature.

As Ava explores new experiences—both creatively and personally—she begins forming deeper connections with people from different walks of life, especially Black men who show her passion, openness, and warmth she hasn’t known before. What starts as casual curiosity evolves into a journey of trust, sensuality, and personal growth. Through these relationships, Ava discovers not only a new side of her desires but a broader understanding of herself and what intimacy truly means.
