She's a Human Resources manager from South Africa wholly unprepared for what awaits her in South Korea. Nandi thought she was simply visiting her long-time best friend for a holiday.

[Full novel available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited] Colbie Morris was your average twenty-seven-year-old. She's a high school history teacher, and it's her first year teaching at a new school. She enjoys her job, it was like any other. With a small exception. Dallis Banks was your typical eighteen-year-old senior. He's smart but seldom paid attention in class. He was going to inherit his father's portion of a multimillion-dollar company so he didn't see a need for school. There was, however, one class he paid attention to, and that was his history class, though his attention was paid more to his teacher, Miss Morris. ~~~ Colbie couldn't believe what was happening. Someone was controlling her body. That had to be it. There was no other explanation for why she was currently sitting on her kitchen counter, legs parted as her eighteen-year-old student played with her clit. His lips were latched onto her neck as he sucked it hard. She knew he was going to leave a bruise, that he was marking her as his. For some reason, that had her inner slut, GiGi, excited. She heard the distinct sound of a zipper and knew that he was more than likely freeing himself from his pants. Colbie knew she should have snapped out of it, and put a stop to this. Should have put a stop to it weeks ago, but again her damn body was working against her. As he thrummed her clit, she felt the head of his dick at her entrance. Lifting his head from her neck, Dallis locked his green eyes onto her brown ones. "Next time you decide to go out with another man remember this." Dallis stated, snapping his hips and burying himself to the hilt, causing her to cry out in pleasure."He can't fuck you like I'm about to."

New to the small southern town, brown-skinned Evalyn Brown answers an ad for domestic help. Enter her new employer, the disagreeable and decidedly white William Davis, who works for the town's police department. As time progresses, their relationship to each other, their small town, and the people who inhabit it changes. In the mid-1900s in a place so easily described as backwards, change can very rapidly become a dangerous friend. x He said nothing but continued to approach, and I started backing up, my hands in front of me to create space. He advanced until I had nowhere to go, and the stories of southern Negro women being lynched, beaten, raped, and on swirled in my mind. There were some battles to fight, and this was not one of them. I just wanted to appease whatever angry beast I had stirred within him and go back to my role as his quiet housekeeper. "William, I - ." Idiot! His whispered name slipped from my mouth before I could stop it. Today was the worst possible day to mistakenly call him by his first name. I closed my eyes as tears escaped out their corners. I didn't want to watch whatever was going to happen next. "Look. At. Me." His words were a constrictor that wound around my neck and tightened. His heady, hot breath fanned over my face. I opened my eyes and peered through my tear-blurred vision. His orbs were almost black as onyx, but tumultuous and frightening. He studied me and my pulse thudded deafeningly in my ears. "I want you to stop." His voice was low and threatening.
