Tobias Miller. Son of Orion Miller and Dr Violet Ankamah-Miller. Unintentionally put on a pedestal all his life, has fallen into a monotonous lifestyle. But when his best friend drags him to another work function, he meets his match. A clumsy ball of sunshine, who immediately makes him nervous. The way she talks. The way she looks at him. Even the way she smiles. She's trouble. But reoccurrences can't be a coincidence. And he knows that he will learn that sooner or later.

A promise. It seems like the simplest thing in the world to keep. But so often, they're broken, empty and hollow. They seem like the easiest thing in the world to believe, but after the words are left out to bleed, after they leave you waiting and wanting, after all the emptiness and hollow words-how are you going to believe the one who actually say what they mean?

Zara Owens has spent her whole life being the smartest person in the room and the most dangerous one to underestimate. At 28, she's a Black sociologist who deconstructs power for a living, doesn't step inside churches, and has never once apologized for a silence she chose to break. Her tongue is a scalpel. Her walls are load-bearing. And she has exactly one soft spot: her younger sister, Amara. Which is why she's sitting in a pre-marital Bible study at Grace Covenant Church-six weeks out from Amara's wedding, surrounded by people who would call her cynicism a sin. Love, Zara is learning, is just humiliation with good intentions. The first problem is Marcus. Amara's fiancé. Golden-voiced, scripture-draped, and obsessed with Zara in a way she has documented, shut down, and lost sleep over. He sits four chairs away, smiling like he knows something. He doesn't. But Zara is carrying a secret about him that could burn her sister's entire future to the ground. The second problem is Adrien Mercer. Six-foot-five. Wire-rimmed glasses. The kind of quiet that makes loud people nervous. He watches Zara like he's reading a book he doesn't want to put down-and she hates how steady his gaze feels. Adrien has spent his whole life performing obedience: to the church, to his family, to the version of faith that demands you stop asking questions. But watching Zara refuse to shrink is making him wonder if he's been lying to himself for years. Over six weeks, the Bible study becomes a pressure cooker. Marcus inches closer. Amara plans her dress fittings, oblivious. And Adrien-the one man Zara never saw coming-starts seeing through every wall she's ever built. Eyes On Her is for every woman who has walked into a room and felt the weight of being watched, judged, and reduced-and who knows exactly what happens when she finally decides to look back. Some secrets destroy families. Some silences destroy you. And some men... see you so clearly, you forget to be afraid.

Cassandra Clover has always existed in the quiet spaces between introversion and extroversion-soft-spoken, thoughtful, her rare beauty inherited from dark-skinned parents who raised her to lead with kindness. She's the friend everyone wants but few truly know, someone who overthinks every word yet still gives herself away too freely. She's learned to protect her vulnerabilities, building walls just high enough to feel safe. Then she meets Cardan Wilson. There's something about him that stops her cold. His eyes that he covers with a hood, which she never should have seen-deep and swirling, as if crafted with deliberate care-seem to hold secrets she desperately wants to uncover. He hides beneath hoods and silence, his voice a low, peculiar cadence that makes her want to confess things she's never told anyone. He's magnetic in his mystery, unsettling in his distance, and she can't look away. Cassie has never felt this pull before-this need to understand someone who seems determined to remain unknown. Cardan is a puzzle she didn't ask for but can't ignore, and the more she reaches for him, the more she realizes he might be reaching back. In a story about two people who see something in each other the world has overlooked, Cassie will learn that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is let someone in-and sometimes, it's the only way to truly live.

In the sweltering tension of 1823 Philadelphia, two worlds collide that were never meant to touch. Rupert Nottingham is the "Spare"-the third-in-line to a British Viscountcy, a tall, piercing-eyed nobleman who hides the bruised knuckles of an illegal prize-fighter beneath his tailored London wools. Seeking three years of anonymity in the Americas before succumbing to the duty of a titled marriage, he finds himself drawn not to the ballrooms of the elite, but to the raw grit of a dockside tavern. There, he finds Sarah, a woman whose beauty is as sharp as her resilience. A daughter of the forge, newly freed from the shackles of Georgia, she is a woman fighting to survive in a society that still views her as property. When Rupert claims her-not just as his mistress, but as the secret cornerstone of his plan to carve a kingdom out of the wild Michigan Territory-he sets in motion a dangerous game of status, passion, and survival. From the opulent, candlelit chambers of a Philadelphia manor to the untamed forests of the Northwest, their journey is one of fervent, forbidden romance and high-stakes ambition. Rupert promises Sarah a crown in the wilderness and a wedding ring in Canada, but the ghosts of the London "Ton" and the prejudices of the New World threaten to tear them apart.
