Never without a book and never without something smart to say. In middle school, they couldn't stand each other - and honestly, that might be putting it lightly. Junie used to make his life hell. Ezra never forgot. But high school changes people. And when senior Ezra ends up tutoring junior Junie in Algebra and Biology, the old tension turns into something new. Something intense. Something neither of them were ready for. From whispered apologies to secret smiles in art class, to truck rides, late-night study sessions, and a kiss that shifted everything - their story unfolds in slow, soft moments.

Kasi Williams, a young black woman from Detroit, has always found solace in the quiet strength of her independence. After the tragic loss of her parents in a devastating car accident when she was just a child, she and her older brother Jason clung to each other, building a life from the fragments of their shattered world. But when Jason is killed in a police shooting ruled an "accident," Kasi's heart is left in ruins. Seeking escape from the pain, she leaves everything behind and retreats to a serene, distant village in China, where the rolling hills and tranquil rivers offer a fragile promise of peace. There, she meets Tang Wei Long (唐伟龙), a man whose name echoes wealth and prosperity, but whose life is shrouded in the cold isolation of his family's industrial empire. The Tangs, owners of a vast network of electronics factories in the bustling industrial hub of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, are known for their power and influence. Yet, Wei Long is drawn to Kasi not for her knowledge of his wealth, but for her authenticity-a rare gem in a world of superficial admiration. When Wei Long first hears Kasi singing to a group of children, her voice carried a haunting beauty that stirs something deep within him. Will Wei Long's relentless pursuit of Kasi's heart be enough to mend the fractures of her past? Or will the weight of their differences keep them forever apart? Dive into this emotionally charged journey and discover if love can bloom where the world least expects it.

They were all about fighting the good fight, taking swings at the beast of racism piece by piece. So, no surprise, she grew up in this atmosphere that practically screamed "Black Power!"

She ended up pregnant, courtesy of a white guy, and not just any white guy-the dude aiming to become a senator for North Carolina. And not in a cool way. The guy was full-on racist. Fear of being cut off from her cushy family fortune pushed her into a tight corner. So, she did the unthinkable: wove a thick tapestry of lies to keep up appearances. But you can't spin lies forever, can you?.
