Ardent Currents - Book 1 An artist who's trauma has driven an important part of his past from his mind meets a loan shark scion who remembers every stolen glance. If you like dark mafia daddies, snarky AIs, heated eye contact, ridiculous levels of "down so bad" longing, spicy tension, and scenes that will leave you checking to make sure no one's reading over your shoulder or in the reflection of your glasses... this one's for you! Jamar Devereaux All I ever wanted was my mother's company, not the dream he stole, not even the time before the accident that took my memories. But now, Mother's crossed the Union's most notorious loan sharks... and what they want as payment might be the end of my life as I know it. Alaric Mako I've hunted him for so long, and at last, I'll finally make him mine. Summary: When his mother defaults on a deadly loan with powerful loan sharks, Jamar Devereaux is forced into an arranged engagement with the son of the most notorious loan shark in the Union, even though he's sure he's not into men. Jamar's fiancé? Alaric Mako: the devastatingly handsome, cold and calculating heir who's spent years watching Jamar from afar. Jamar can't remember their brief past before his accident, but Alaric Mako has never forgotten. To save his mother and himself, Jamar agrees to the proposal. But as he fights to ignore the magnetic pull toward Alaric, he discovers feelings his accident suppressed. Thrilled to have found him again, Alaric Mako woos Jamar the only way a loan shark can-with dogged obsession. In this far off, technology-driven future of corporate dynasties, news-fluencers, and ruthless debt law, will Jamar and Alaric cut through the tension to a happily ever after despite being bound by debt, or will the way they started be too powerful a force to overcome, and bring their end again? Can Jamar and Alaric overcome the suffocating weight of debt and an arranged engagement to find something stronger: chosen love? Read to find out!

Teresia knows sleeping with the pastor's son is a terrible idea. In 1984, eighteen-year-old Teresia is stuck at The Well Fellowship with her mother and stepfather, surrounded by people who mistake obedience for virtue and gossip for concern. She knows how to play along when she has to. She knows how to stay quiet. What she does not know is how to stop wanting Charles Connors. Charles is the pastor's son. Beautiful, experienced, and far too used to getting away with things, he comes with a reputation Teresia understands immediately. He is the last person she should get involved with and the first person who makes her feel fully seen. What begins in secrecy turns into something deeper, more dangerous, and harder to contain. As their relationship intensifies, the walls around Teresia begin closing in. The church is watching. Charles's family already has their doubts about her. A secretive writing group offers the possibility of another life, but even there, jealousy and gossip have teeth. Every choice she makes pulls her further from the version of herself everyone wants, and closer to the one she might have to destroy everything to become. Set against the heat and pressure of a Southern church town, Teresia is a dark coming-of-age romance about desire, power, shame, obsession, and the cost of wanting freedom more than forgiveness. ❤️ REVIEWS ❤️ Your story still pops into my head.
