College freshman DJ, new to Atlanta decided to go out in attempts to meet new people before they new year starts. She then meets a woman, Keysha who she becomes familiar with very quickly, before Keysha goes ghost and the two expect to never see each other again until..

Mariah Jade Grey is 21 years old, freshly graduated, and trying to figure out what comes next. She's stylish, sarcastic, and guarded- always has been. After losing more than she ever talks about, she's learned not to get too close. Love doesn't stay. People don't stay. So she keeps herself safe: with ambition, independence, and the quiet ache of something missing. Kyra Reyes is 30 years old, the kind of woman with a camera in one hand and someone new on her arm- easy, unattached, free. Nothing ever sticks: not the girls she leaves tangled in her sheets, not the art that never quite feels finished, not the whispers about her being a player. But when it comes to Mariah, everything sticks. Every glance. Every laugh. Every moment that isn't supposed to mean anything, but somehow means everything. As their best friends build new lives and the city around them quiets down, Mariah and Kyra find themselves circling each other, drawn together by late nights, unspoken truths, and the weight of everything they won't say out loud. It's there in the way Kyra looks at her. It's there in the way Mariah never quite lets her go. And when the silence finally breaks, it changes everything. What they have isn't just friendship. But it isn't love. Not yet. Maybe not ever. Almost. But is almost ever enough?

Kameron Zion Lewis thought transferring schools was supposed to be a fresh start. New campus. New faces. No drama. Yeah... that shit lasted all of five minutes. The second she crosses paths with Malachi "Mal" Brooks-Williams, everything goes left. Mal is the loudest stud in the damn school, always got a blunt tucked somewhere, a drink in her hand after school, and enough confidence to make anybody sick. She swears everybody wants her, talks the most shit, and always has the last damn word. Kameron can't stand her cocky ass. Mal thinks Kameron's attitude is funny as hell. Every hallway turns into an argument. Every class becomes a competition. Their friends are tired of breaking up almost-fights. Teachers already know their names for all the wrong reasons. They talk shit. They bump shoulders on purpose. They dare each other. They push every damn button they can find. But somewhere between all the arguing, smart-ass comments, jealousy they refuse to admit, and late-night run-ins, that hate starts looking a little too much like something else. Now they're stuck wondering how the fuck you go from wanting to swing on somebody... to wanting to kiss them or fuck them. Sometimes the person you hate the most is the same person you can't stay the hell away from.

"Don't look at me like that..." I scoffed, licking my lips to hide my smile as I looked up at her. She was tempting. Very tempting. And it wasn't intentional, but I could tell she was falling for it anyway. Obliviously, "Like what?" Her lips curled, showing me what I tried my best to hide. She let out a small laugh, looking away so my eyes could no longer meet hers. And then, "Like you're going to make me regret my decision." _ After a traumatic event that truly exposed her to the reality that she'd been constantly warned about, Areli meets Savannah, a kind woman who brings all the best things around. But, of course, it's always too good to be true. - BOOK ONE
