UNTIL THEY MET Nia Sinclair has spent 3 years learning how to survive a life with a toxic bad man. As a middle-school teacher in Montego Bay, she tries to bury herself in work so she doesn't crumble. When Nia crosses paths with Cassian Reid, she expects nothing more than a parent coming in for a meeting about their child. Instead, she finds herself drawn to a man she can't quite figure out. Cassian is calm, private and difficult to read. A respected doctor with a demanding career, he is also the man Dwayne looks to as a father figure. He keeps his personal life separate from his work, his emotions carefully controlled and his past even more carefully hidden. Nia was looking for a way out her relationship not a way into another one. What begins with a school meeting and an unexpected visit to the doctor, slowly turns into something neither of them planned for. Yet Cassian's life carries secrets Nia knows nothing about. His connection to her past runs deeper than she realizes and the closer they become, the harder it becomes to keep those secrets buried. Sometimes, two people don't meet when their lives are perfect. Sometimes, they meet when they need each other most. And sometimes, meeting the right person means discovering that everything you thought you knew about your life was wrong. Until They Met is a Jamaican romance about trust, healing, family, secrets, and two guarded hearts finding something neither of them expected.

Dear Readers, Have you ever had your entire life mapped out, only for one person to come along and set it on fire? Yeah, that's basically my story. I'm Kalise Palmer. A future neurosurgeon and part-time hairstylist from August Town with a love for cars, bikes, and staying far away from trouble, although... on second thought, I'll let you find that part out for yourself. My life was simple and going according to plan... until Karion "Masterpiece" Stone showed up. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, he just so happens to be my brother's best friend. Trust me, he's not the kind of man a girl like me should be interested in. Not only is he my brother's best friend, but he's also an elite hacker, a private assassin, and the leader of one of the most wanted crew in the country. The gang goes by the name O Block, but no one knows he's the man calling the shots. He's carrying enough secrets to destroy my family. The worst part? I don't even know what those secrets are yet. But the deeper I fall for him, the more dangerous those secrets become. The worst part? He can't seem to stay away from me. It started with a haircut. One phone number. One appointment. One mistake. The closer I get to Karion, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings growing between us. But loving a man like him comes with a price, and when I uncover a secret capable of destroying everything, I'm forced into a deadly game I never signed up for. Now, I'm caught between loyalty and betrayal, love and survival. And the scariest thing isn't the enemies coming for us. It's the possibility that I'd risk everything for him. Love, Kalise

Kiella Chasity Whyte, 26, survived a horrific tragedy as an infant when her parents were killed by unknown attackers while she remained in the vehicle, escaping unharmed. She was taken in and raised by her father's wife, who provided care, support, and guidance through her education. Motivated by her past and her passion for truth, Kiella grew into a driven investigative journalist. Aizen Valentino Kestrel, a notorious 22-year-old drug dealer, grew up with as normal a life as his mother, a former surgeon, and his father, a retired contract killer, could provide. Yet despite their efforts, he gravitated into the very life his father once led, and tried to shield him from. Unlike his father, who was led astray by friends, Aizen chose this path himself, and there's no way in hell he's leaving it. When their worlds unexpectedly collide, neither Kiella nor Aizen anticipates the impact they will have on each other. A single encounter draws them into a connection that defies logic, blurs lines, and challenges everything they believe in, forcing them to decide whether what's growing between them will become their greatest strength or ultimately lead to their undoing.
