He looked up at her with grey eyes that smoldered like hot coals. "When I was told that an attorney had agreed to take my case, I almost didn't believe it." He said, his voice as rough as a sandpaper, his grey eyes piercing her in an unearthly way. "Drop the case Miss, run for your life and save yourself, because if you don't, it will have dire consequences for you. So run, Miss, run." - Jody Allen was an ordinary black attorney who had had to deal with a lifetime of racism and sexism, so when on her thirtieth birthday she was suddenly given the position she had always longed for - to be the first female and first black criminal defense attorney in the little town of Bethel, Maine, she didn't suspect foul play but when her first client turned out to be Regan Walberg, the most prominent detective from a pedigree of finesse in Bethel who had been allegedly accused of a gruesome crime, she found herself being drawn to the case and inadvertently.... him. Jody wasn't prepared for the outcome that defending him would bring as things started to go downhill when myriads of shocking and gruesome secrets were uncovered, conspiracies were unearthed and a whole lot of exciting experience on the road to self-discovery and self-realization were met. #BlackWomanWhiteMan #blacklivesmatter #saynotoracism #saynotosexism First published - 2020.

"There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds."

Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.

Being named after Aphrodite should have been a blessing. But knowing Dite's luck, it might have been a curse. Because with this name came the relentless need to associate herself in anything involving the trigger words "crush", "type", and "boys". With a database that she'd created using some inside sources (student council), she obtained a God-like power with matchmaking to the extreme, earning her the very original title: the Maker. But what happens when a certain curly-haired brunet decides to blackmail her in return for help? Could it be a recipe for disaster or love? Carter Rivera thinks love. Dite Everson says disaster.
