Javier Solis knows how to leave a mark, both on skin and on the heart. The oldest of six, he grew up surrounded by love, laughter, and art, and now he pours all of himself into the tattoo shop he owns. Navy Jones has spent her life holding everyone else together. The middle child of a big family, dependable and quiet, she became a teacher not just to guide children, but to give the care she's always given others, even when no one gave it back. On New Year's Eve, Navy walks into Javier's shop for her first tattoo: a lotus placed close to her heart. One night, one tattoo, one choice, and suddenly two lives collide in ways neither expected.

𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝 is focused on one thing: getting through her senior year and leaving her neighborhood behind. At 17, she's smart, guarded, and determined not to get caught up in the chaos around her. Love, drama, and trouble? She doesn't have time for any of it. Then Oscar 'Spooky' Diaz comes back. Fresh out of jail, 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐳 better known as Spooky is trying to move differently this time. At 22, his name carries weight in the streets, and most people know better than to cross him. But when he keeps running into Imani Shepherd, things get complicated. They don't really have history... just years of knowing of each other, passing by in the same neighborhood, living completely different lives. Imani is everything Spooky isn't focused, careful, and determined to escape the life he's been stuck in. Spooky is everything Imani knows she should stay away from dangerous, unpredictable, and tied to a world she promised herself she'd never fall into. But sometimes the strongest connections come from the most unlikely places. Late-night conversations turn into stolen moments. Curiosity turns into something deeper. And before either of them realizes it, the line between right and wrong, safe and risky, starts to blur. Because when two opposites collide, someone always ends up having to surrender.

Arlo thought getting cheated on was the worst thing his ex could do. Then she told him she was pregnant. Now his life is filled with confusion, stress, and questions he doesn't have answers to. And just when he thinks things can't get any messier, he meets Amoura Cruz. Pretty, stubborn, emotionally complicated, and completely against dating a man with possible baby mama drama, Amoura tries her hardest not to fall for him. Too bad Arlo doesn't know how to stay away. Between sneaky link energy, constant tension, soft moments, and growing feelings, the two quickly find themselves caught in something deeper than either of them expected. But love gets complicated when the past refuses to let go.

cover by @summerafterglow 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 It's so much easier to spread lies about people than it is to spread the truth. That's what Gabriel knows to be true, at least. According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up. She wiggled her way right into his heart and now all he craved was her. 𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐚 Moving to a small lakeside town in Washington was not where Alyna saw her life taking her. She also didn't expect that she'd fall so hard for the brooding mechanic who lived there. Everyone tells her that she should stay away from him. All of the rumors say that he's dangerous, but all she ever feels with him is safe. With obstacles at every turn, will their love be enough to endure even the worst challenge they'll face? Or will they fall apart under the weight? started: 12/15/2023 published: 05/18/2024 completed: highest rankings: #2 bwwm #4 ongoing

I cupped her face, planting a soft kiss on her beautiful lips. "Don't ever run from me, baby," I said softly, letting my thumb trace her jaw. "I love the chase." Her jaw tightened, her hands coming up to try and move mine. "Stop calling me baby, Ezra," she snapped, eyes flashing. I couldn't help but grin, dropping my voice to something low and dark. "Ohhh, now my baby has a problem with me calling her baby?" She shot me a glare, but I just tucked her hair behind her ear, pressing another kiss to her lips-gentler this time, lingering. "You don't get to tell me what to call you, baby." I leaned in closer, brushing my nose against hers. "You're whatever the fuck I call you."
