A 17-year-old masculine-presenting lesbian named Amari becomes a mother after sleeping with a boy while struggling with pressure from her family to "grow out" of being gay. After having her son, she transfers to an elite private school where she meets Nyla Ashcombe, the composed daughter of a powerful wealthy family. Their relationship slowly changes both of their lives while Amari learns to embrace herself fully instead of apologizing for who she is.

Two studs from rival sides of the city never planned on falling for each other. Khaori is reckless, feared, and known for handling problems with her fists before words. Nyla is colder, smarter, and tied deep into street business she can't escape. What starts as sneaky link-ups, late-night rides, and tension-filled arguments turns into obsession, jealousy, loyalty, and violence. The streets talk too much, exes want revenge, and both girls got tempers that destroy everything they touch. Love in their world isn't soft. It's screaming matches in parking lots, busted lips after fights, guns tucked under car seats, and still choosing each other at the end of the night. But toxic love always comes with a price.

Why am I here? How long until we leave? Aiden, largely ignored and resented by his family because of his sexuality, never had any desire to go to a fancy restaurant for any reason, but has to be there for his mother's birthday. Sitting at a table full of family members, he feels lonely, until he and a mysterious and attractive man catch each other's eye. This man and Aiden make a kind of connection when they meet privately in the restaurant's restroom. Strange? Yes. Absolutely. But the man seems to care about Aiden, for some reason, and it leaves Aiden wondering Why does this man care?

A drunken night on a girl's trip leads to a secret relationship between two best friends.

In a world where loyalty and danger collide, two hearts find each other when they shouldn't. Torn between duty and desire, they risk everything for a love that could destroy them both. wlw-sxs Alot happens in this book that i could make a whole chapter about triggers, but im not. that being said if you don't like it, don't read it.
