Chencia C. Higgins writes contemporary romance centered on Black characters, with an emphasis on humor, heat, and real emotional stakes. She started publishing in 2016 with No Strings Allowed, the first book in her JustOneNight.com series, and has since built a catalog of 46 books across ten distinct series. Her work covers a wide range of romance subgenres, from the friends-to-lovers setup of the A Friend In Need series to the paranormal world-building of Wolves Of West Texas.
Several of Higgins’s series are themed around specific settings or occasions. The Luminous Cruise Chronicles follows multiple couples aboard a cruise ship, while the Boos & Booze and Taboo & Voodoo series are Halloween-themed romances with spooky seasonal atmosphere. The Vow series centers on wedding and commitment storylines, and The Color Spectrum duology explores interracial romance.
Her standalone novel D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding (2022), published through Carina Press, brought her work to a wider audience. The book follows two Black women who pretend to be engaged for a reality TV show and end up falling for each other. Higgins continues to release new work regularly, with A Little Kissing Between Friends arriving in 2024.
