Kimberly Graham is a successful lawyer and a single mother to her eight-year-old son, Sam. The brown-skinned beauty had it hard growing up but had now reached a point in her life where she was satisfied with the way things were. For six years, it was only her and Sam until her ex, Colton Luther, one day showed up at her law firm asking for help. 

The history between them was passion-filled and abusive. From Colton's numerous affairs to an escalated fight that landed her in the hospital, it's easy to see why she'd rather keep her distance. Although sharing a child makes the perfect bridge for him to slither is way back into her life, Kimberly was a different woman then, but after all these years on her own, her heart is well guarded.

That however won't be enough to stop him from trying, even if the prize is already claimed by another.All Rights Reserved

REMEMBER ME || K. Th by Raindrops95here

"You know this person?" She asked to you. My heart clenched as my gaze never left your beautiful caramel brown eyes, anxiously waiting for you to reply her question. My head flooding with nothing other than the images of how I have touched your skin, kissed your lips, sipped your tongue, marked your body, owned your soul and made you mine several several times. The image of our naked body blending and molding with one another still fresh in every single fibre of my brain. "Do you?" She repeated. "No." You answered with a dead tone. Eyes blank.

It all started four years ago in his graduation year, when Graham Crawford lost everything all at ones and spiraled down into becoming a man his mother would never trust their family company to.

Only now, she might be the only way to get his life back on track after she'd thrown him off the rails all those years ago. ------- State Of Grace definition: a condition of being free from sin

Valentine is 22 and just graduated college with a PHD in Child Development. After her parents died on her birthday and she was thrown into the foster system she developed a passion for kids and their mental capacities. Her life was regular to her nothing out of the normal or too outrageous. She didn't have friends besides her work buddy who was a bit eccentric. She didn't have a boyfriend because of her fear of abuse after her last boyfriend and foster family. She was plain, dull, and simple. Until she met Quincy Quincy was a known felon in the neighborhood. He murdered two cops in a shootout but thanks to great lawyers he got out in 6 years. Then he went back for armed robbery after someone stole from him and he stole it back (in blood) that got him 4 months. His last crime was assaulting a teacher because allegedly the teacher made a threat at his 11 year old daughter.

He only heard Valentine's voice once and ever since he'd been keen on making her his.

Cold Devotion | ✔️ by moonlighttkisscs

Rose Waterstone, daughter of the lead commander, is sent to the facility at the ripe age of seventeen. She was sent for the same reason as everyone else - to prepare for the threat of war between sectors. She was more than willing to get away from her poor excuse of a father, ready to take on the real world - or at least she thought she was. Upon her arrival at the facility she can't help but catch the eye of the facility leader's son, Colton Grey. He was your typical broody, dark haired boy but he seemed to strike a nerve with Rose. He was intrigued by her but nothing but hatred seemed to fuel their actions towards each other. They couldn't stand each other, for what reason they did not know. Maybe it was because she was so stubborn? Or maybe it was because he thought that he had some kind of claim on her that excused the way he treated her? A new threat arises, rebels. Rebels who are hell bent on taking down the government and destroying everyone in relations to them, including Rose. They are both forced to work together, to help each other take down the rebels but how when they both despise each other with every fibre of their being? How when their resentment for each other runs so deeply? Colton hates Rose but won't let anyone lay a finger on her. Rose hates Colton but won't walk away.
