Ariana Davis is back in New York. College life should be her chance to start fresh, but there's one problem-Quinn Ryans. The same Quinn who made her life a living nightmare throughout high school. The school's golden quarterback. The guy who always seemed to take pleasure in making her suffer. Now, years later, he's even more irresistible than before. Hot, confident, and with a reputation that has every girl at school swooning. But Ariana isn't fooled by the charm or the popularity. Not after everything he's done to her. Still, despite her best efforts to keep him at arm's length, there's an undeniable pull-one she can't ignore. He makes her feel things she thought she'd buried long ago. Things that stir up her anger, confusion, and-maybe-something else. Can she trust herself around him? Are these feelings real or just leftover resentment? And what happens when she realizes that maybe, just maybe, Quinn might not be the enemy she's always believed him to be? One thing's for sure: Ariana's not ready for the storm Quinn Ryans is about to bring into her life again. --- "Quinn? Quinn Ryans? The same Quinn who gave me a lollipop his baby cousin had thrown up on and me being ignorant happily licked it? The same Quinn who tied my shoelaces together and made me fall flat on my face? The same Quinn who pushed me into muddy waters with my white dress on awards day? The same Quinn who took the note I wrote confessing my feelings to my crush and read it to the whole school on the intercom? The same Quinn who dressed up as a scary beast and jumpscared me at night when I was five?" ...And it just got worse. -----

When twenty-seven-year-old Ziyana Raza's cousin is dumped by her fiancé with a messy excuse, it's Ziyana's last straw. A former hopeless romantic-now disillusioned by too many betrayals and heartbreaks-Ziyana abandons all notions of true love and vows to remain single forever. "Forever" meaning as long as her Pakistani Muslim family's patience for her singlehood thins. Besides, she's too busy hating her grueling corporate job as a data analyst to focus on anything else. And as long as she convinces herself that love is an anomaly, she'll be fine. It's safer to be alone than blindsided by heartbreak, anyway. But right when she's settling into a somewhat comfortable routine of avoiding men and scoffing at the idea of marriage, Shahzain Shah barrels into her life. Charming, good-natured, and a little too observant, the new Business Intelligence Manager of her company seems determined to crack Ziyana's armor. But as much as his compassionate nature gets on Ziyana's nerves, he also...somehow knows all the right things to say. Sees through her facade of being strong 24/7 and appreciates her hard work. Befriends her brother and respects her parents. Makes her laugh even when she's trying desperately to hold it back. She can't help but reminisce that an old version of herself would have thought Shahzain checked all the boxes for a potential spouse. Too bad she's dead set on her mission...right?

Journey never planned on falling in love, and Emilio never planned on slowing down. What begins as quiet coffee visits turns into something deeper. Intentional. Devastatingly real. For the Long Way is a slow-burn romance about choosing each other, building a life between two worlds, and learning that the most powerful love is the one that waits, stays, and commits fully.

Zina Fletcher has always been a force to be reckoned with. Armed with a razor-sharp intellect and a scholarship, she's a new student at the prestigious Jackson Academy-an elite world of old money, unspoken rules, and the kind of subtle racism that's more dangerous than any overt insult. As the only Black student, Zina knows she's a walking contradiction in a place that wants to put her in a box. Mateo Cobalt is Jackson Academy's golden boy. He's brilliant, popular, and a legacy student whose life is a carefully planned path to success. He's never had to question his place in the world or the systemic privilege that put him there. But when an academic competition forces the two rivals to become partners, they must confront not only their differences, but the world that wants to keep them apart. As Zina challenges Mateo's naive worldview and Mateo defends her against the insidious prejudice of his peers, their intellectual rivalry sparks an undeniable connection. But in a school where appearances are everything, falling for each other might just be the most brilliant, and dangerous, decision they could ever make.
