A young Darius knew he had a crush on his neighbour Bianca, the day he moved across the street. One summer night, after he graduated from High School and she from University, an impromptu basketball game sparked a connection between them. With Darius moving away for school, and Bianca's corporate job in the city, their friendship thinned out until a series of events put them both in moments of vulnerability and reignited the childhood crush. But Darius waited too long to tell Bianca how he feels, and now she is about to take the next step with her boyfriend. Follow Darius and Bianca as they weave through life's unexpected turns. Will they be honest with each other? With themselves? This is a story about falling in love and trusting the timing of your life. --- Excerpt: Bianca ordered one scoop of Mint Chip and Darius ordered two scoops of Birthday Cake. "Really? Are you five years old?" Bianca teased. "Don't knock it until you try it," Darius challenged with a smirk. The butterflies in Bianca's stomach had not settled and his playfulness wasn't helping. Between the guilt of lying to Jeremy and trying to find out what Elena was referring to a couple days ago about Darius' behaviour, her anxiety was agonizing. The only thing she was certain about was that she wanted to be there. The butterflies were more than just nerves. She was crushing. --- Copyright 2018.

Starving for love

Zoe Adam was a master at pretending. At eighteen, she'd perfected the art of silence, smiling when expected, nodding at the right moments, keeping her secrets tucked away in her heart. It was safer that way. With three siblings, a chaotic dysfunctional Latin household, and parents who wore kindness like a mask, Zoe learned early that love could sting just as easily as it could soothe. Her mother could call her mi vida in one breath, then leave bruises seen and unseen in the next. Her father? He floated in and out, too wrapped in his own storms to notice the ones he left behind. None knew anything. her sisters who witnessed everything but didn't say anything, had their own shields. Not her brother, who tried to be the hero but never saw what needed saving. Zoe kept everything locked inside her feelings, her loneliness, her hunger, her ache, her need until even she forgot what it felt like to be full. Then came Hayden Reid. Nineteen, half-Italian and Puerto Rican, . He moved to London that summer, taking the flat right next door. To most, he was just the new guy with the sharp jaw, quiet hazel eyes, and that permanent don't-get-too-close look. But to Zoe, he was more than that. He was her brother's best friend. The boy who used to tease her when they were kids visiting Italy. The one who disappeared after his parents split and reappeared years later with more muscle, and a haunted look she couldn't stop staring at. Hayden had his own shadows. His past was littered with broken things promises, people, places he no longer called home. Coming back to London was supposed to be a reset, not a reunion. But fate had other plans for him. Now, he lives just a few steps from Zoe's window. Too close to ignore, too far to touch. And despite the years, the distance, and the damage they see each other in a way no one else does. Two hearts with locked doors. Two people who never meant to collide again.
