As part of the graduating class of 2016, Reyna Valens had almost everything going for her. She had her driver's license, her second-hand car passed down from her dad, and she was set on moving past her tumultuous and somewhat ugly high school experience. She was ready to leave sunny San Diego and move to the bright lights of LA. Since the time she was in middle school and almost flunked her 8th-grade algebra course, she wanted to leave and never come back. That never ended up working out when her parents' past caught up with her present-day self and they definitely did not see eye-to-eye. Fast forward to August, she's now working as a barista at a coffee shop in the middle-of-nowhere California and attending a community college two towns away traveling by semi-defunct commuter train.
Follow Reyna Valens through the intricacies and mystery of her new life as the new girl working in the town's hottest establishment, McLennan's Coffeehouse. A coffee shop home to the town's outcasts, insomniacs, and rebels.

Unbeknownst to Liam, Lucia is grappling with a secret battle against cancer, choosing to shield him from the harsh reality of her illness. Their romance unfolds against the backdrop of clinking coffee cups and the constant hum of the city that never sleeps. In the anonymity of Starbucks aprons, Liam and Lucia's connection becomes a refuge from the cold indifference of their individual struggles.

As they explore the city's hidden gems, from tucked-away bookstores to cozy jazz clubs, Lucia's health begins to deteriorate. Liam, entrenched in his apathetic worldview, is unaware of the storm brewing within their shared moments. When the truth surfaces, their love is put to the ultimate test. Will Liam finally realize to appreciate beauty in life, or will this event just further push him into deeper distaste for the world?

"Wait," I put my hands on my hips and frown. "You woke me up to ask me this? Because you want to meet me every morning at five?" "Yes."

Half of My Heart ✔️
how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.Complete

⚠ Warning sexual content!!! ⚠ *Book 1 of the "Unexpected Lovestory" Series* She loved her husband more than her last breath. She was blinded, deafened and suffocated in his love. She gave him everything but he was a receiver, never a giver. The only things he gave was confusion. He gave manipulation and he gave her mind the masqueraded ideals of his "undeniable love" when the only person he loved was himself. He had plagued her mind, so much so that when he suggested an open relationship he made her believe it was her idea but she never wanted that. She wanted him and only him. He wanted her and everyone else he could get. But that all changed when Tobias Wrexler walked in... ©️ Copyright 2020 Demii Jada R. ©️ All Rights Reserved.
