This was my first book as I started and ended this book sometime in 2023-24. I edited a little, but not much so read at your own risk... Brianna takes Aiden hoodie off before going back to kissing him as he slides his hands under her tank top, cupping her breast making her kiss him harder. She then abruptly stops making Aiden snap his eyes open. "What?" He ask her as she cups his face looking him directly in his eyes. "I love you Aiden. Like seriously I really do." She says making him chuckle at how random she said it but when he looked back at her she seemed so very serious. "Come on Brianna, you know I'll love you always and forever," he said while kissing all over her face which made her laugh. "You're so corny." She playfully pushes his face away from hers making him laugh. "I'm serious. Like forever and ever and ever-" but she cuts him off as she rolls her eyes and kisses him again.

She's a girl who feels as though she's had the weight of the world on her shoulders. He's a guy who shows her what it means to feel safe, to not keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Nyomi isn't that quiet, overlooked girl anymore. She's grown. Confident. Unapologetically in her body-and finally ready to stop running from what she wants. And what she wants? Devin Rogers. The same boy who spent years chasing her attention... is now a rising fashion designer with a brand, a vision-and a dangerous kind of patience. When Devin asks Nyomi to model for him and become the face of his brand, it's supposed to be business. Clean. Simple. Professional. But nothing about the way he looks at her is professional. Nothing about the way he touches her is accidental. And nothing about the tension between them is safe. Because Devin doesn't flirt-he waits. And Nyomi doesn't chase-she tests. Until the line between control and desire disappears completely. Now it's not about if they'll cross it... It's about who's going to break first.

After moving to Chicago to start a new life, Sveya isn't looking for nothing beyond a fresh start. Between church, school, and learning how to exist without losing herself, her life feels limited...until she meets Solomon.

A mom who has alexithymia is raising an autistic toddler. Ashauri had never known what happiness truly meant until she fell pregnant with her beautiful son, Cashton. Sadly, after she gave birth, the happiness she once felt went away and her life went back to being empty emotionally. With her son being autistic, Ashauri is relieved she doesn't have to fake a smile or make her voice higher than normal to give off the impression she's in a good mood. Her son couldn't tell the difference. Despite the rumors, Ashauri and Cashton's bond is like no other; they understand one another better than most. A simple glance can either make or break their decision on whether to continue whatever it is that has their attention. The two didn't depend on words because neither of them enjoyed talking. Apathetic: having or showing little or no emotion; indifferent. Alexithymia is when a person has difficulty experiencing, identifying, and expressing emotions. Intermittent explosive disorder involves repeated, sudden episodes of impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior or angry verbal outbursts in which you react grossly out of proportion to the situation. -
