She doesn't believe in chasing love. Not when it never seems to stay. Olandria has built a life she's proud of-her boutique, her clients, her independence. She knows her worth. So when every man she meets disappears without explanation, she tells herself it doesn't matter. Until it starts to. Nic Vansteenberghe doesn't do relationships. He does control, business, and keeping things exactly where he wants them. So when a high-stakes deal depends on him having a stable girlfriend, he needs a solution-and fast. Olandria needs a fake boyfriend. Nic needs a perfect image. It should be simple. It isn't. Because the one man who keeps interfering in her life... is the same one who's been making sure no one else ever gets the chance. And the worst part? She doesn't even know she was already his.

Under His Roof Nic built a life without attachments, moving from city to city for three years, never staying long enough for anything to matter. But just as he decides he's ready to settle, his past catches up with him in the form of a truth he can't ignore he has children. Determined to find them, Nic follows a trail that leads him to Olandria, the woman who has been raising them as her own. For two years, she has built a stable, loving life for the twins, and she has no intention of letting a man with power and money take that away. But Nic isn't used to losing control, and he isn't walking away from what's his. Forced into the same space, their worlds collide her determination against his authority, her love against his claim and as boundaries blur and tensions rise, one thing becomes clear: This isn't just about the children anymore

[EDITING AS OF 7/20/26] xolani and two have been each other's person since they were kids running around third ward and trading inside jokes nobody else got. over a decade of history between them: sleepovers, middle of the night phone calls, the kind of comfort within each other that made everything else feel like silly noise. they know each other in that deep, embarrassing way: each other's nervous habits, the laughs that don't come out right, the silences that don't need filling. it was never supposed to be more than that. but somewhere between growing up and growing into themselves, the lines started blurring. xo starts noticing things she has no business noticing; the way he looks at her when she's not paying attention, the way his hand always finds her without thinking, but she buries it. they've got something too good to gamble with, and she knows it. what she doesn't know is that two's been fighting the same feelings too. longer than she has, way quieter than she'd ever expect from him. he's been loving her in the margins for years. carefully, willfully, without ever letting it show. until one night it just... slips out. "i've loved you in quiet ways for so long... i'on know how to be anything else when you around, xo." and now it's out there. sitting between them, too big to ignore and too damn real to take back. they've survived everything together: loss, distance, the messy in between years of figuring out who they were as they grew up. but this? this is the one thing that could actually change everything. the question isn't whether they love each other-they're both well aware of the answer to that. whether they're brave enough to stop pretending they don't, though, is up to nobody but themselves.

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️ Kai tightened his hand around my hand. For a second, I thought I wasn't able to breathe. I wish I could explain how Kai is able to make me feel whenever I'm around him. It's like something just gets over me. I feel happy. I feel safe. Why can't I just bring myself to say yes? "I'll wait for you." He said. The yearning in his voice could have knocked the wind out of me. I looked deeply into Kai's eyes, and that was when all the constant swarming in my mind paused. I could no longer fight it. I wanted Kai. ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️ Nineteen-year-old Celeste Dumonte is just trying to find her footing in college when she unexpectedly catches the eye of the university's star quarterback.

⚠️ Foul language, dark romance, derogatory racial slurs will be used!! If this bothers you, please do not read ⚠️ Kaylani White is a 32 year old city girl who's just finished her residency as a doctor and now, she's ready to open her own private practice. The thing is, she's made the decision to open it in BFE!!! (butt f*cking Egypt) aka a very rural small town in Florida. She's sweet, kind, and a little naive. But don't get it twisted, she can be a spitfire when pushed. Kaylani's heart and mindset might be in the right place BUT, as a city girl from Fort Lauderdale, she's a little naïve to the amount of racism that can be present in small rural areas. Kingston Harding is a brute and the president of The Devils Riders MC. An all white gang who disguises themselves as a club while actually moving drugs and guns. There are rules that MUST be followed if you're apart of the club but when Kingston's best friend is severely injured, Kaylani swoops in to the rescue. Despite knowing what is right and wrong, according to the rules of the MC, Kingston can't get Kaylani out of his mind. Messing with her could be dangerous and even deadly for everyone.
