Asha Mitchell is all about her education and the next box to check off her list of goals. She never allows anyone to steer her from her path or take her eyes off the prize. She's a big time lover who also knows how to choose herself or play the game if she feels it's necessary. But she rather not. She admires love and wants everything it has to offer if she can. Some of the best relationships are built on friendship, and Asha doesn't realize that until Sanchez Harmon. He's goal oriented and doesn't have time for games. He knows what he wants for all aspects of his life - except his love life. Relationships aren't his strong suit because he's never been in one and never wanted one. Romantic love is a fantasy to him; nice to watch but unrealistic. A few things come to light when the two become friends after a homecoming party. One is an open-hearted lover and the other can't see himself in love. They love different but they'll try to figure out which way is best for them.

𝙼𝚢 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔𝚜 #𝟏// ❥ Amoura never knew what love was until she met Dre. After a one-night stand with him, they continue to see each other on and off. Although their relationship starts off rocky, they eventually realize how much of an impact they have on each other's feelings. Take a look into Amoura's life as she navigates the stages of teenagehood and confronts the unresolved issues of her past. At first, things between them are rocky-raw, impulsive, confusing.

More than that, she begins to uncover how much they're helping-and hurting-each other in ways they never expected. Soul Ties is a story about the stages of love, emotional healing, and the haunting weight of past trauma.
