I was drowning in her kiss. The intensity of it filled me with sensations I'd never felt before. I taste her and I realize I've been starving. I have loved before, but never quite like this. I have kissed before, but never did it consume me like this. It lasts for a second, maybe a minute or maybe even an hour, I'm not sure. I'm drowning and drowning and sinking to the bottom of the ocean in her kiss, in her soft embrace. I never thought I could feel wanted like this before and it's intoxicating and it's swallowing me whole. It started off passionate, but we got desperate. The kiss got deeper as we got hungrier, it feels like even my hands can't bring her close enough to me. - LEIGHTON VALAK .. and in which, emotionally unavailable Alea John gets paired up with the rich golden boy on campus, Leighton Valak for a tutoring opportunity- what could go wrong?

Alani has always yearned for the kind of love she reads about in her favorite books, someone who thinks about her every waking moment and chooses her without question. Since she's never had that in real life, she escapes into fictional worlds, imagining herself as the main character. But one night changes everything. On her graduation night, before leaving for college, an unexpected encounter sets her life on a path she never saw coming. As she begins her college journey, Alani finds herself living a story that feels straight out of her favorite romance novels-with the one person she never expected to fall for.

College was supposed to be a fresh start for Y/N. Instead, it feels like she's stuck in the same exhausting cycle-classes during the day, late-night studying, and constant arguments with her boyfriend, Sukuna. Somehow every conversation turns into a fight, and the apartment never feels quiet for long. Things get worse when her roommate suddenly moves out without much warning. Now stuck trying to cover rent on her own, Y/N posts an ad online for someone to take the extra room. She doesn't expect much from it... until someone replies. Choso. He's quiet, a little mysterious, and doesn't say more than he needs to. The only thing he asks when he answers the ad is if he can practice his guitar sometimes-he'll even pay extra for it. At first, Y/N isn't sure what to think about living with a stranger. But as the nights fill with soft guitar playing through the walls and Choso's calm presence around the apartment, the tension she's used to starts to fade. And before she even realizes it, she finds herself drawn to him. Which becomes a problem... because the more her relationship with Sukuna falls apart, the closer she finds herself getting to the quiet boy who moved into her spare room.

Sa'Lani Monee Jeffries has always been the thick girl who gets overlooked or played. At 27, she's done with love, focused on stacking her money as a nail tech and minding her business. But when a fine, chocolate, six-foot-three gangsta with a low voice and dangerous reputation starts showing up at her job, all of that changes. Kaizer "Kai" Rashaad Wynn isn't the type of man she ever wanted. He's quiet, mean to everybody but her, and runs the streets with a heavy hand. Yet when he looks at her like she's the only woman in the world, Sa'Lani finds herself letting her guard down piece by piece. What starts as playful flirting turns into late-night phone calls, expensive gifts, and nights that leave her body aching for more. But falling for a man like Kai means stepping into a world of hood politics, jealous exes, and enemies who will use anything-including her-to get to him. When street drama hits too close to home, Sa'Lani is forced to decide if she can love a man who lives by a code that could get him killed... or if loving him will be the very thing that breaks her heart. Because Kai doesn't just want her body-he wants all of her. And when a real gangsta falls in love with a thick girl, he ain't letting go, no matter who has to get out of the way.
