Just Homeboy's. Nothing more?

(19 year old) Claire Powers finds herself admitted to another Private Practice. Repression, sex and sarcasm- her ways through life. What happens when she has no choice but to face her trauma? Or when her therapist becomes more than just a safe person? Ember adores her work. She has no time for romantic connections. But when reality strikes and she's home alone with her feline friend and a book she's read one too many times, loneliness casts a shadow over her that she can't outrun. Boundaries blur. Safety strengthens. Ethics rot. Claire (19) Ember (40)

"Please," he said, desperation laced in his voice. "Just...just one peck. Anywhere. On my lips, cheeks, ear. Anywhere you want." ○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○● Oliver: A reclusive guy with an avid love for books and living indoors. He wants to read the next interesting manuscript that comes his way, daydream all day in his house, but most of all...he longs for love. However, he despises his best friend's brother and wants nothing more than to relocate him to the nearest remote island... Jude: A legendary trackstar and sportsman in his school. He's your typical nonchalant jerk, popular with the ladies and as straight as an arrow. Regardless, he struggles with his own inner demons that have plagued him for a long time. Meeting Oliver only amplifies this, and whenever he sees him he desires to, more than anything, bring his stuck-up attitude down a notch. However, both find each other at odds and in a weird situation after a dare is completed. Amidst angst and a jumble of conflicted emotions, will they figure out a way to circumvent this ball of confusion in their lives as sparks fly between them?

Ashanti Leneé Duvan is tired. Tired of college. Tired of fake connections. Tired of people not taking her seriously. A junior in college working toward becoming a psychologist, Ashanti is already overwhelmed-and the semester barely started. Between her anxiety, academic pressure, and a love life full of unserious hoes, she's starting to wonder if she is the problem... or if people just can't handle her. Then there's Chase Tavonii Jackson. A fine, nonchalant stud with tattoos from head to toe, a successful tattoo shop, and a girlfriend she probably shouldn't have. Chase doesn't do feelings-she does distance, rules, and cheating before she can get hurt again. One slutterparty. One shared bedroom. One twenty-minute dare. Boundaries get set. Lines get crossed. And neither of them is ready for what happens when attraction turns into something real. Sometimes the people who swear they don't want you... want you the most.

Sincere Brielle White has always been the soft one-gentle voice, pretty smile, big heart. Everyone thinks she has it all together. Nobody knows about the insecurity she hides so deep she can't even say it out loud. She keeps her brightness polished and perfect... scared that if anyone looks too closely, they'll see the cracks underneath. Then there's Terajaie Imani Connell. Silent. Standoffish. Untouchable. The kind of stud who speaks with her eyes more than her mouth, who fights only when she has to, who carries her past like a weight she learned to hide. People fear her before they understand her-but she prefers it that way. Trusting people has never ended well. Until Sincere. A seating change puts them side by side, and Terajaie notices the things everyone else misses-the quiet tremble in Sincere's hands, the way her smile fades when she thinks no one is looking, the exhaustion behind her eyes. And Sincere sees past Terajaie's coldness, past her silence, past her armor... and finds the girl who's been alone for too long. What starts as awkward glances and accidental conversations turns into late-night texts, warm rides home, soft touches, and a connection neither of them were ready for. But loving someone means letting them see the parts you're terrified to show. Sincere's hidden insecurity. Terajaie's guarded heart. Two girls learning what it means to feel safe-really safe-for the first time. Because sometimes love isn't loud. Sometimes it isn't dramatic. Sometimes... it's just warm.
