The Home That Hope Built Josiah Freeman spent his first life building structures designed to stand the test of time. A successful Black engineer with more money than he could ever spend, he had everything he thought he was supposed to want-except the one thing he had dreamed of since childhood. A family. When an impossible twist of fate sends him back to the 1850s, Josiah awakens in the body of a free Black landowner with a modest home, fertile land, and a second chance at life. Determined to keep his head down and simply survive, he has no intention of changing history. But history has other plans. What begins with one hungry orphan and one weary elder seeking refuge on his land slowly grows into something neither of them could have imagined. A warm meal becomes a home. A home becomes a family. And before long, families from across the country begin arriving-not as runaways, but as neighbors searching for a place where they can finally breathe without fear. Alongside Esther Bennett, a gifted medicine woman carrying wounds of her own, Josiah helps create a community where children laugh freely, elders are honored, no one goes to bed hungry, and every newcomer hears the words they've longed for their entire lives: "You're safe here." As Freeman Village grows into a beacon of hope and a refuge for those seeking freedom, Josiah discovers that the greatest things a person can build aren't houses, schools, or even entire towns. They're trust. They're family. They're home. The Home That Hope Built is a sweeping historical novel about found family, resilience, healing, and the extraordinary legacy that can grow from one simple act of kindness.

"The lease is signed. The rules are simple. Don't touch my roommates. Too bad nobody told them the rules." Nadia Reyes needed cheap rent and a fresh start. What she got was a lease she can't break, a brother who won't stop calling, and four infuriatingly attractive football players who have every reason to keep their distance. She didn't know they were her brother Marcus's teammates when she signed the paperwork. By the time she figured it out, the keys were already in her hand. Now she's living under the same roof as: Cole Davenport - starting quarterback, chronic flirt, and the only person on campus who makes her laugh and want to throw something at the same time. Rhett Calloway - team captain, built like a wall, speaks in grunts and meaningful silences. She's pretty sure he hates her. She's less sure she hates him back. Zac Torres - the hothead with a short fuse and an even shorter patience for her sharp mouth. Every argument ends with them standing three inches apart, breathing hard. Eli Nguyen - kind, careful, and quietly falling apart every time she smiles at him. He knows better. He just can't stop. The rules are clear: Marcus's sister is completely off limits. Nadia's made it very clear she doesn't need anyone's protection. And yet - boundaries blur when you share a kitchen, a couch, a front porch at 2am. She's not here to fall for anyone. They're not supposed to let her. Some rules were made to be broken. Off Limits is a contemporary reverse harem romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forbidden dynamics, slow burns that actually pay off, and a heroine who refuses to apologize for taking up space. She doesn't choose. That's the whole point.

Love never came easily for Nathan Reed. Growing up, when his friends would get girlfriends, he would always be the single one. He would be the one third wheeling at the eighth grade dance, homecoming, prom, and any other event involving his friends. Whether it was going to the mall with his friend and his friend's girlfriend, or going to the movies, he was single. He was always single. At age twenty three in his junior year of college, he's accepted his fate of being single forever. He stopped having crushes four years ago when she asked him for his best friends phone number. He has never even hugged a girl he likes, and he counts kissing Amanda Baldwin in the second grade as his first kiss. That is until Odeletta Guillotin walks into his French class for the first time, three days after the class already started, late, in a black leather jacket and combat boots. When the teacher talks in French after she's settled in her seat, saying something that nobody understands, Odeletta responds in fluent French. Nathan is promptly intrigued by her. She doesn't even notice him, and he finds himself noticing everything she does, from the way she grips her pen to the way she furrows her eyebrows when she's concentrating. He finds himself wanting to talk to her, but after years and years of rejection, he can't do it. When he finally gets up the nerve to talk to her, he finds there is a lot more to the mysterious French girl than meets the eye.

But when his friend, and business partner, suggests that his daughter, nineteen-year-old Olivia Davis, should babysit for him things begin to change. Brett notices how Olivia isn't the baby he once held years ago anymore, and that she had matured into a young woman who was perfect, inside and out. What happens when attraction comes into play? It's wrong, they both know that, but is it enough to stop the burning desire they feel for each other?
