Blaise has mastered the art of keeping people at a distance. At twenty-three, her life is simple or at least that's how she likes it. She works at a local skate shop, spends her free time getting high, losing herself in video games, and finds more comfort in her pet snake than she does in most people. Beneath the laid back nerdy exterior is a girl carrying wounds she refuses to let anyone touch. Ever since eleventh grade nothing had been the same for Blaise. Keese already has two girlfriends, a relationship he's convinced himself and others is everything he could ever want. Lately, something feels missing. After crossing paths with Blaise, he becomes intrigued by the girl who seems completely uninterested in being figured out. The more he learns about her, the more convinced he becomes that she could be the missing piece in his life. There's just one problem: Blaise wants no part of sharing a man. What starts as Keese trying to pull Blaise into a life she never asked for quickly becomes something neither of them expected. Blaise challenges everything he thought he wanted, while Keese slowly discovers that the girl he thought he could fit into his world might be the one forcing him to question it. Sometimes the person who wants nothing to do with you is the person who changes everything. STARTED ; JULY 5th, 2026 PUBLISHED ; AUGUST 11th, 2026

One meeting changed everything. What started as strangers turned into something neither of them saw coming. In a world full of secrets, loyalty, and hard choices, they found themselves completely 𝕴𝖓𝖋𝖆𝖙𝖚𝖆𝖙𝖊𝖉 with each other.

Aujani Mitchell has never believed motherhood should depend on whether a man chooses to marry her. At twenty-seven, she has built a life she is proud of-a successful career as a pediatric nurse, financial stability, a close family, and enough love to give the child she has always wanted. After months of researching sperm banks and anonymous donors, Aujani realizes she cannot bring herself to choose a stranger. She wants to know her child's medical history, their family, and the kind of man responsible for half of who they will become. There is only one person she trusts that deeply. Her best friend, Cartier Moore. Cartier has been beside Aujani since fifth grade. They have grown up together, shared clothes, secrets, arguments, firsts, heartbreaks, and every version of themselves in between. He is also a devoted father, a successful businessman, and the one man Aujani knows would never abandon his child. But when she asks Cartier to help her have a baby, he makes one thing clear-he is not interested in being a donor. If they create a child together, he will be the daddy. Five months later, an appointment is booked, their plan is in motion, and the friendship that has survived almost everything begins changing in ways neither of them expected. Morning sickness brings Cartier closer. Late-night cravings become routine. Baby names, tiny clothes, doctor appointments, and quiet moments start feeling far more intimate than friendship should. Cartier falls first. Aujani does not realize she is falling until the man she has known nearly her entire life starts looking at her differently-and she begins looking back.

Our vows were spoken before our hearts had a chance to catch up. Formally, "ARRANGED HEARTS"
