"we fell in love the way you fall in leaves." Juwan "Rocky" Rockwell has had a pretty hard life. Between trying to find a way to fend for himself and dealing with the normal hardships of teenage angst, he had nowhere to turn as an adolescent and no time for anything other than taking care of himself. Having been set on survival rather than love itself, Juwan, now twenty-four years old, is ready for a change. He just hasn't realized it yet. Quinn Campbell, a woman accustomed to the moderately luxurious lifestyle that her parents immersed her in, has been passive all of her life. Having been torn between parents who are both demanding and have been divorced since she was nine years old, trying to find her way in the world as an adult has proven to be challenging especially since her overbearing parents have been making decisions for her since birth. One morning, on a whim, she finally decides that it's time to take control of her life. The first step is finding a change in scenery. Who ever would've thought that the second step would be becoming smitten with a man who claimed to never have had a heart? [based on "falling in leaves" from my book of one shots.]

Winner of the Watty's 2017 Awards ✿ Destruction is a form of creation; buildings crumbled as he walked past. Khari Spence, trapped in a city steeped in hatred, longs to embrace his true self even if it means risking everything. He finds a fragile refuge in an old apartment with peeling wallpaper and blank journal pages -- and hopefully in a girl. Milo Locke, disillusioned with the hollow lure of materialism, seeks to rid the ideologies her parents forced onto her. When their worlds collide, will they help each other heal from past wounds, or will their secrets tear them apart?

Don't talk, just read. First of all, I have to be honest with you, readers. I lied-when I told you I was gonna' finish that other story. Can you read? Just for tonight. Or maybe we can do something like eat popcorn and drink water or thirst after DeVante Swing as a group? Slide your finger across the page, baby. Let the book feel you.

Fatima Ward is a pre-med senior at Hampton University. Becoming a pediatric doctor is her parent's dream for her, but secretly Fatima wants to be a Fiction Writer. She finds herself fulfilling this secret passion by writing fanfics on the extremely popular online writing website, WriteNow. To keep her identity private, Fatima writes under the pseudonym @YaraTheWriter. With over 30,000 followers, Fatima's books are successful within the WriteNow community. Curvy and proud, Fatima has a long-time boyfriend who goes to school at Norfolk State University. While working on her new fanfic using rapper, Jericho, she finds herself becoming close with a new reader who she later finds out is the man himself. When he shows interest in meeting her she is hesitant but goes through with the meeting anyways. Jericho was born Jaren Young in Brooklyn, New York. He was known mostly for his basketball skills, but always had a love for poetry that led to rapping as a hobby. When things didn't work out for him at Syracuse University, a chance meeting with music legend Nas led to a record deal and his first album was instantly named a classic by both fans and critics. While working on his follow-up album, he runs across WriteNow and @YaraTheWriter through his assistant. What initially starts off as just something fun to pass the time leads to a deeper friendship. Even though he is dating one of America's most beautiful and popular actresses he finds himself anxious to meet the woman behind the book. What will happen when these two finally meet? ********** © 2017 D.S. Little All rights reserved.

Jaren "Jericho" Young is on top of the world. Both his career and personal life are finally aligned. His music is bigger than he ever dreamed it could be and he is engaged to a woman who he loves more than life itself, Fatima Ward. Fatima Ward is living her dream! Rather than pursue a career in medicine like her strict parents expected, she took a leap of faith on her real passion-writing. Her gamble paid off because her first book, "A Chosen Dream" was a literary and commercial success. On top of her professional success she is also newly engaged to Jaren Young, an extremely successful Hip Hop artist. From their unusual meeting up until their engagement. Jaren and Fatima have survived a year full of multiple trials and tribulations. Through it all one thing remained true, they both loved each other enough to fight for what they had. With all the scandals now behind them they are ready to focus on their growing careers and their future together, but things don't always go as planned. Will these two continue to fight for each other or will the pressures around them become too much? ***This book is the sequel to Unapologetically Me*** © 2017 D.S. Little All rights reserved.
