WNBA player meets R&B singer will their age difference cause problems? Read to find out

At a prestigious HBCU where reputation is everything, Imani Brooks has mastered the art of control. Beautiful, polished, and untouchable, she moves through campus like she owns it-protected by status, surrounded by loyalty, and never letting anything get close enough to matter. Until Amara Lewis. Quiet, observant, and soft in a way the campus doesn't reward, Amara keeps her world small-hidden inside the pages of her journal, where honesty feels safer than reality. But when a single moment turns into something neither of them can ignore, lines begin to blur. Late-night conversations turn into lingering touches. Lingering touches turn into something harder to deny. And just when it starts to feel real- It gets exposed. When pieces of Amara's private journal are leaked across campus, her feelings become public, her vulnerability becomes entertainment, and Imani is forced to choose between her image... and the girl she was never supposed to care about. Because some love stories stay soft. And some leave marks that never fade.

Grace has always been the responsible one. After losing her parents, responsibility was all she knew-taking care of her younger sister, keeping her head down, never letting herself slip. No parties, no distractions, and definitely no time for love. It never mattered anyway. Love was something that never seemed to belong to her. Until now. What started as a simple tango class, just a chance to learn something she'd always admired, changes everything the moment she meets her. The instructor. Beautiful, magnetic, impossible to look away from. But falling for her is dangerous. Because she's married. She's forbidden. And she's the mother of her sister's best friend. Grace promised herself she would never risk her heart. But on the dance floor, with every step and every stolen glance, she's beginning to wonder if some loves are worth breaking all the rules for.

Whiskey Rogers is an up and coming country pop singer who hates her pop sound, and wants to go in a different direction. As a teen, she went to Rye's final performance, and has hopes of recruiting her to play with her, or more.

Amber hasn't had a good few years. Her father passed away four years ago, on her birthday, and she's been picked on ever since by some horrid bullies. But will the arrival of new neighbors, including the secretive Shay, bring love or heartbreak? Just a quick FYI, this book is a slow burn, so while there IS smut (or so I've been led to believe!) it might not be for a while. Note: There will be a lot of characters from Kiss and Make Up in this story, so you will get some spoilers if you haven't read that already. Also, the majority of the book is not in the POV of the intersex character (though they do get some guest chapters)

Vivian Vox has never believed in coincidence. At thirty-two, she has everything power, wealth, influence. People move when she speaks. Doors open before she reaches them. Control has always come easily. Then she meets Skylar Grey. Ten years younger, stubborn, sharp-tongued, and completely unimpressed by her, Skylar is everything Vivian isn't prepared for. What begins as an impossible attraction becomes something far more dangerous: love. The kind that consumes. The kind that changes people. The kind that hurts. Now married, they're building a life together but love isn't always enough. Secrets, fear, family expectations, and impossible choices threaten to pull them apart. Because Skylar Grey has never stopped fighting. And Vivian Vox has never learned how to let go. In the end, the question isn't whether they love each other. It's whether love will be enough to survive everything they've become.
