Love Has No Color (Part One) tells about Nanzee Johnson as she stumbles onto a chance meeting with a dashing stranger, Basil Barden.  The meeting brings about a rift between Nanzee and Gwen Duncan, her childhood friend. Accused of overstepping certain boundaries, Nanzee has a decision to make while Gwen threatens to expose her to her father.

Nanzee’s pride, concerns about White Man’s Burden syndrome and her father’s bigotry are no match for the overwhelming affection she has developed for Basil.  Indeed, these hurdles were unworthy of comparison to what he offers her.

She wonders how she might prove herself worthy of Basil’s love.  When he propositions her, Nanzee knows she has found a way to redeem herself to him even if in her eyes alone.
