Michael Kirkland, a former street survivor, has successfully transitioned into a college professor at a university in Manhattan. However, he grapples with a long-standing infatuation for one of his students. To remain close to her and ensure her safety, he has changed schools and shifted careers. His academic life serves as a façade for the more tumultuous existence he once led, driven by a paternal instinct to protect her, due to orders of her father, even to the extent of dismissing his bosses demands to the extent of being kicked out of the game. While he is focused on personal growth, he fears that his feelings for a student could threaten his teaching career and expose his past life, which includes a connection to why he is in a teacher role. As these emotions resurface, Michael finds himself slipping back into old habits realizing he never changed, it was his love for her who changed him, and he would risk it all to be where she is including being with her.

The Becoming Series Book One: First Year Blues
Ayanna Brooks been the responsible one her whole life. While her siblings chased the streets, she was clockin' double shifts, raisin' her little brother, and keepin' the lights on. When her mama's accident hit, Ayanna packed her dreams away-two years gone, survival on repeat. The "perfect daughter." The one who don't mess up. But now? It's finally her turn. First in her family to leave Atlanta, she steps onto Xavier University's campus with a scholarship, a suitcase, and a plan: law school dreams, no distractions, no slip-ups. Only thing is...the Big Easy don't play fair. Financial aid duckin' her calls. Her part-time job wreckin' her sleep. Her family back home still pullin' at her every move. And then there's him. Kahlil Carter. Frat boy. Legacy money. Smooth enough to make the Yard freeze mid-step. When his eyes find hers? Ayanna feels something she didn't even know she was missing-seen, wanted, alive. But his world-fast parties, secrets, that kind of dangerous pleasure-burns quick. One wrong step, and Ayanna could lose more than her focus. Still, Ayanna's not that girl. She's never been in love. Never let anybody touch her body like that. And she ain't about to hand herself over easy. But the pull between them? It's slow burn. Messy. The kind of heat that only gets louder the more she tries to ignore it. In the middle of all that chaos, there's one place that feels like hers: the art studio. That elective she thought was just a filler credit? It's the only space where her heart runs free. With a brush in her hand, Ayanna finds a voice she didn't know she had-one that might change everything she thought she wanted. Messy. Funny. Heart-heavy. First Year Blues kicks off The Becoming Series-a Southern college story about family, first love, temptation, and the courage it takes to choose yourself. Because in the N.O.? Everything hits different.
Bow-Legged
Shall we do an experiment? Hear me out: an enemies-to-lovers where love is complicated but never toxic. Where the female lead knows what she wants and takes it. Where the male lead doesn't growl, rage or slam her into walls. A journey with all the angst, secrets, spice and heartbreak of dark romance without the abuse. Are you ready? ******************************************** It's 1984, Queen on the radio and rage in the streets. Moira Bourne, stretched thin between her nanny job, family drama and university classes, fights for the recognition she deserves. Evander Ward, fresh from a gap year in Europe and eager to prove himself, is ready for redemption. Two people whose paths were never meant to cross. When they do, the collision blows their life to smithereens. ******************************************** "Pass the tea, will you?". It came over me - it being it all, the shame, the anger, the sense of injustice and the nine hours I hadn't slept the night before. Those, maybe, more than anything else, because I reached for said tea and, possessed by that mighty cocktail of resentment, spat in it. I did so making sure he could see it, he could hear it. Then I passed it over to him and waited. His smile, at this point, had turned overjoyed, putting the previous ones to shame, revealing their graft. He had received the answer he was hoping for. He took the cup and chugged it down. Looked me straight in the eye and drunk it all. ******************************************** Fair warning: mentions of racism, ED, assault, sexism, and classism ahead. You know where your limits lie.

Beneath the Silence
Eleanor, 19, is living on borrowed time. She's continuing her studies not out of passion, but more out of survival instinct. Not because she dreams of a brilliant career, but because the idea of failing-and having to go back home-makes her sick. Home is a house full of heavy silences, unspoken blame, and above all, a mother consumed by addiction. Their relationship is an emotional minefield. Though physically distant, Eleanor is never truly free. And every call, every message from her mother threatens to pull her back into the chaos she's desperate to escape. At college, she tries to hang on. Her only support is Wallace, her best friend since middle school. Always there. Tall, protective, destined for a pro career in basketball. Wallace is steady, radiant-the complete opposite of the world Eleanor comes from. He helps her stay afloat. Keeps her from drowning. Until one day, a figure appears in a campus hallway-and everything shifts. Danny Shepard. The name alone freezes her in place. It takes Eleanor a moment to recognize him: the scrawny, furious boy she knew at sixteen has become a man. Calmer. Darker. More... unreadable. After assaulting his sports coach, Danny was sentenced to juvenile detention and vanished for four years. On his return, he was denied entry into the third year of med school. He enrolled elsewhere, at the bottom rung of the university ladder. Where Eleanor studies. And he doesn't recognize her. She, on the other hand, never forgot. The bond they shared-fragile and secret, woven during adolescence through stolen glances and charged silences-left a mark. But Danny seems to have erased her. Why? Has he truly forgotten? Or has he buried that part of his life? Eleanor senses that behind the cold mask, there's a war raging. Repressed memories. A guilt that never properly healed.

Apartment 109
India Taylor thought it'd be a fresh start. What she didn't expect was heat, danger, and a neighbor who watches too close from 109. Working late at the diner, juggling messy hookups and trying not to catch feelings, India swears she's done with drama. Then Rico - smooth, loyal, dangerous - shows up and makes her consider everything she said she wanted to avoid. Rico's protection feels good, but his world comes with rules... and consequences. There's Dre, a burned-out past she can't fully forget. There's Qway and Kadia, family she'd die for and chaos she can't live without. And there's the man next door - quiet, intense, always there - whose interest slides from curious to dangerous fast. When secrets spill and loyalties fracture, India must choose: play it safe in 108, go all-in with the man who says he'll protect her, or risk everything to find the truth behind the eyes in 109.Concluida
IN THE WORLD OF NEGATTIONS ~ I Found You~
DESCRIPTION IN THE WORLD OF NEGATION "Love doesn't erase the past- it rewrites it. With every whispered promise,the scars became softer, the nights less lonely. And one day, you realize your heart no longer aches for what was lost.....because his hands have taught it how to hold something new." Not an ordinary highschool romcom. its also revolves around revenge , mystery and sacrifices. Some stories begin with a whisper-a slow, quiet unraveling of hearts. Ours began with a *crash*. Not the poetic kind, where two souls meet under starlight, drawn together by destiny's gentle hand. No. Ours was a collision-messy, painful, drenched in rain and spilled coffee. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One accident. One lie. One keychain that held the weight of a locked-away soul. This isn't a love story. At least, not yet. Mumbai-the city of dreams, where every heartbeat races against time.** *Vivan Luthra* isn't just the golden boy of college she's a masterpiece of contradictions. The cricket field bows to his talent, teachers praise his discipline, and his friends envy his effortless charm. But behind the trophies and the perfect smile, he's a prisoner of his own making. Every compliment is a weight. Every expectation is a chain. And the only thing heavier than his father's ambition? *The secret he's been hiding for years.* Then *she* walks in. *Kavya Randhawa* doesn't belong here-not in this ruthless world of ranks and rigid rules. A poet with a soul too deep for textbooks, she was supposed to be in Delhi, sketching sunsets and weaving words into art. But life had other plans. Dragged back to Mumbai by her parents' unrelenting demands, she's now trapped in a suffocating cycle of NEET prep, her dreams locked away like old diaries. *Their first meeting is a collision.* *Except... he's pretending for a reason.* for those who liked healing romace.
A Little More Than Hate
At Starlight Business College, life is chaotic, glamorous, and ruled by power and pride. Kavya Sharma-a bold, outspoken, middle-class girl with a tragic past-clashes fiercely with Rivaan Sinha, the arrogant, wealthy heir whose family practically owns the institution. Their first encounter is explosive-full of insults, pride, and power-play. What begins as a petty war of pranks and classroom insults gradually shifts when Rivaan unknowingly breaks Kavya's most cherished possession: her late mother's bracelet. That moment becomes the catalyst for something deeper. Despite the bitterness, Rivaan starts feeling guilt-and eventually admiration-for Kavya's strength. He secretly repairs and replaces the bracelet, and from that point, their dynamic evolves. They go from enemies to reluctant partners in a college fest, sharing playful banter, emotional confessions, and unexpected tenderness. Just as they begin understanding each other, Kavya's traumatic past resurfaces in the form of Karan Sharma-her abusive father who murdered her mother. Rivaan fiercely defends her, standing up against Karan in a public showdown. As the walls between them crumble, both begin to acknowledge a bond growing stronger than hate and deeper than friendship. Their chemistry, once volatile, becomes healing.Concluida
