A dangerous, obsessive stud with a dark past becomes infatuated with a soft, feminine woman trying to escape her toxic ex. What starts as protection turns into possession. The stud doesn't share. The femme doesn't know how to stop craving the chaos.

"Don't look at me like that..." I scoffed, licking my lips to hide my smile as I looked up at her. She was tempting. Very tempting. And it wasn't intentional, but I could tell she was falling for it anyway. Obliviously, "Like what?" Her lips curled, showing me what I tried my best to hide. She let out a small laugh, looking away so my eyes could no longer meet hers. And then, "Like you're going to make me regret my decision." _ After a traumatic event that truly exposed her to the reality that she'd been constantly warned about, Areli meets Savannah, a kind woman who brings all the best things around. But, of course, it's always too good to be true. - BOOK ONE

"Would you say that no one compares?" She asked, comedy laced in between her words as she found this hilarious. Rolling my eyes, I sighed, "I don't know..." Which was my given answer, because I didn't know. I haven't... been out, much to directly tell. But even then, "It's sick," because, "it's like it could only ever be her." - Areli finds herself doing her best to navigate life as she let everything go, leaving it all in the past for the greater good. But one night changes it all, because Savannah's eyes were always hard to not fall deep into. - BOOK TWO

Salae Amira Bennett came to college with a plan. Graduate. Become a neonatologist. Keep her hair laid, lip gloss popping, and maybe find a girlfriend that actually treats her right for once. Simple. But moving into an off-campus house near Peachtree State University with five strangers quickly proves that nothing about college is simple. Especially when one of those strangers is Aaliyah "Liyah" Monroe. Tall. Calm. Flirty. Annoyingly observant. And for some reason... always staring at Salae. At first they can't stand each other. Too many smart comments. Too much tension. Too many arguments in the kitchen at 2AM. But the more time they spend in the same house, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. Between messy friends, ex drama, jealousy, late night confessions, and emotions neither of them fully understand... Salae and Liyah might realize something dangerous: Sometimes the person you swear you'd never fall for... is already unintentionally yours.
