Soul Maurielle is quiet, introverted and to herself. She's been spoiled her whole life and has had everything handed to her, whether it was from her father, a respected drug kingpin who passed when she was 18, or her twin brother Shilo who followed in the footsteps of his father. Soul isn't new to the 'street life' she hates it and all that it brings. That life did nothing but take from her family. Her brother on the other hand loved the fast life and the quick money that came with, so he followed in the footsteps of their father bringing drama to her door when and wherever. Trap has never been one for many words, he allowed his actions to speak through all that he did. And boy did his actions speak. Trap is a popular loner, so many have been around him but not many knows who he his. Even those closest to Trap barely get more than 5 words from him at a time. He handles his business and goes about his day. Trap is deep in the life, had been since he was 15. Virgil, the father figure Trap never had, was the man who took him in and introduced him to the life. His mom had been struggling with bills, his sister, who was on her school cheer team, had no way to get her gear and he had one option. Turn to the streets, one of his boys had been bragging about the fast money he was getting and Trap needed that, his boy introduced him to Virgil and it was off from there. The 2 are one and the same, both quiet, reserved and to themselves. But Soul isn't looking for love, let alone a man that's in the same life she lost her dad to. She hates the life and everything that comes with it, so why can't she just leave this man alone? Started: February 12, 2026 Finished...

When Manon signs a lease she can't afford to lose, the last thing she expects is to share it with a stranger-especially one like Caleb Williams. A rising football quarterback with a guarded heart and a secret love for art, Caleb never planned on letting anyone close. Manon, a model and aspiring elementary school teacher, has learned how to survive on her own after being forced to grow up too fast. What begins as an awkward living arrangement turns into something neither of them is prepared for. As careers collide, past wounds resurface, and the pressure of dreams threatens to pull them in opposite directions, Manon and Caleb discover that love doesn't arrive loudly-it grows in quiet moments, shared meals, and unspoken choices. But when sacrifices are made and boundaries are tested, they must decide whether caring for each other means holding on... or letting go. Because maybe they were never just roommates after all.
