Love always shows up when you aren't looking. Always makes a way when you least expect it. It's funny like that.❤
Nevaeh Kingsley, a 22 year old, beautiful, black young lady employed at Omega General Insurance Company has had it with men. Her last boyfriend was a toxic mess and her newest crush doesn't seem too keen on making any moves. Plus everyone thinks he's bad news which she can't seem to understand. When a new guy is hired at the office though, all of her co-workers are quick to ship them just because he's black and a pastor's son. "Church boys don't break hearts" they say, but Neveah isn't too keen to find out. Plus she isn't too big on religion or religious men either...
Caleb Calaway, a 23 year old graduate from Cloverfield University thinks he's far from ready for a relationship. With his holier-than-thou mother constantly nagging him to find a 'virtuous woman,' Caleb's finding it hard to connect with anyone. Between his new job, bible study, leading a vibrant group of young people at church, playing the keyboard at every Sunday service, occasionally filling in for his preacher father, and mourning the sudden passing of his best friend, a girlfriend isn't his top priority despite his mother's wishes. And with his own parent's marital status secretly swinging closer and closer to a divorce, Caleb is convinced that his interests are better served in his duties at the church.
When the paths of these two individuals conveniently cross one Monday morning, things may be taking a different turn for them both.
Will their chance meeting blossom into something straight from a fairytale? Or will the pressure of their differences pull them to pieces?

The Heiress
Mercedes Kingsley is beautiful, spoiled, and one with a few different sides. Her best side? She has a huge and kind heart that she uses to put others first. She's adventurous, loves to have fun, and loves doing things her family hates. The one thing she does that her family hates? She has a love for helping the homeless. Mercedes's bad side is one you don't want to see. She hates being disrespected, hates being crossed, and if you piss her off, she isn't afraid to let that be known. Elon Kingsley, Mercedes's grandfather, is a billionaire with a multi-billionaire empire. He is very close to his granddaughter, and when he upset her, she wanted to hurt him, and with a friend, she took off to Antigua, letting only her employees know where she had run off to. While Mercedes and her friend, Alona, are vacationing, they meet men who make their time in Antigua much more fun. Alona fell in love with her guy, whereas Mercedes is skittish about the guy she meets. She loves everything about him. He's dreamy, sexy, has a nice body, and she loves his cocky talk and sense of humor. But the one thing she couldn't help but notice was that he looked awfully familiar to her. She never could place it, but the more they hung out, the more she took a liking to him until he mentioned wanting to further their relationship once they got back to the states. The problem? There was another man back home that she secretly held feelings for-a homeless man. A man she knew would never pass her families approval. But would the other man she met win her family's approval? After her grandfather passes away, she upsets many people for reasons that were out of her control then bad things started happening with all the hotels. She wasn't sure if it was a coincidence, her brother, Bentley, or the Bradley family that was causing all the problems. Mainly her grandfather's archenemy, Sterling Bradley, who had been trying to buy him out for years. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/vikncharlieComplete
His FireLily - (Shadowed Secrets #2)
Carissa Belfiore's mission was simple; hunt down the man terrorising her city and burn his syndicate's web of deceptions to the ground. The catch though? She must work together with the devil in disguise. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 Four months after the trail went dark, Cara and her team gain a second chance at retribution, at tracking down the man responsible for the mysterious chain of disappearances plaguing the streets of her town. Retribution, though, comes at a cost. Missing people and stolen identities unsolved, Cara's boss presents to her with a new ultimatum. She must pursue this mission with Asrea's top (infuriating) agent or lose the rights to the case. With no other choice, Cara must learn to thread the thin line of peace with the devil disguised as a federal agent, one who has little belief in patience and even less so for mistakes. Much like everything else though, it was easier said than done. As the two of them begin to dismantle the empire brick by brick, Cara finds herself pulling at loose strings tying the pieces of the missing puzzles connecting her past to her present. Strings, she soon realises, had been buried by the hands of someone desperately trying to keep her from finding out the truth. A truth that might just break her. No retrogrades, no reversals, and no unknowing the known. If only she could've done it alone, for even the devil must be paid his dues. The devil whose icy, blue eyes never fail to see through every shield and every shadow she'd built around her heart, the very shadows that seem to calm within his presence. The man whose icy rage threatens to thaw her blazing heart. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 First Draft Completed on 12/1/2025 Completed on 12/3/2025Complete

True Black Love (COMPLETED - AMAZON PUBLISHED)
## TRUE BLACK LOVE ### By Ilianna Binoche Africa Kenyatta Anderson has spent her entire life proving people wrong. Too dark. Too curvy. Too outspoken. Too ambitious. Now she is the brilliant construction powerhouse behind more than two hundred million dollars in contracts-and the woman powerful men depend on while refusing to give her the respect, recognition, or ownership she deserves. Professionally, they call her **Kee** because Africa is apparently too Black, too bold, and too unforgettable for the rooms she dominates. But success has not silenced the voices that taught her to question her beauty. Money cannot heal the wounds left by colorism, family betrayal, workplace obsession, and men who desired her body without knowing how to cherish her heart. Then she meets Israel Nathaniel King. Israel is a devoted father, reformed player, healthcare professional, and man of faith still carrying the damage of a marriage he tried to force into perfection. His former wife abandoned him and their children-but Israel is not innocent. He ignored her truth because he believed love could change what she never wanted. When Africa challenges him over her mother's failing care, Israel does something no man has ever done. He listens. What begins as a professional confrontation becomes a slow-burning connection between two wounded people learning that love is not rescue, possession, sacrifice, or fear. But when Africa walks away from the company that exploited her, launches a construction empire under her full name, and becomes entangled in Israel's complicated family, she must decide whether she can build a future without disappearing inside it. Israel may love her. His children may trust her. The world may finally learn her name. But Africa must answer the one question no man can answer for her: **Can she love herself without needing anyone else to prove she is worthy?** **TRUE BLACK LOVE** is a powerful contemporary Black romance about colorism, body acceptanceComplete

The Bad Boy Has A Soft Spot
Oil doesn't mix with water, we were taught that when the teacher was ranting about the basic laws of science. It doesn't combine just like how light is always separate from the darkness. But what if they unified? In one word, disaster! This happened to a senior and a freshman at university. With the boundless arrogance of a wealthy and powerful heir combined with the neverending will for justice of a mundane, they declared arch-nemesis against each other and waged war. But after a particular red stain, black notes, an alligator and a bucketload of glue later, she will have to persist in denial and he will have to learn to be less possessive to soothe their growing affection for each other.

Even In Pieces [bxb]
-KIND OF MATURE- "I wouldn't fuck you if you paid me." Well, at least my question is answered. He can get more punchable. We glare at each other, I am surprised neither of us have raised our fists yet. It wouldn't be the first time. "Who says you'll be the one fucking?" I snap back. _______________________________________ Zachary Alvarez has always hidden his broken parts behind his charm, sarcasm and arrogance. He is a complete asshole to most, especially one man in particular who he occasionally wants to lick all over or shoot in the head (He isn't picky). Nothing in Zach's life is constant. All he has ever cared for is himself since nobody else did. A lot of drinks, one-night stands, relationships that he never put effort into and people always leaving, that's all he has ever known. And Everett absolutely hates Zach's guts and hates how his smirk makes him feel triggered. Everett has always been this or that for people, always an image. Most times he doesn't even care, but sometimes it gets irritating. But somewhere both Everett and Zach starts to see each other. All that hate gets a bit too exhilarating. In so many ways... _________________________________________ If you guys are looking for an enemies to lovers with a lot of sexual tension... #1st in lovers #1st in homosexual #1st in bxb #1st in university #2nd in drama #4th in Lgbt #8th in mxm #19th in romanceComplete
Temptations
If there wasn't anything she hated the most it was MEN. Sevyn Moore, 22, was the girl that had a huge hatred towards the other gender. She had her reasons why and she felt as though they were reasonable for a girl like her. Sevyn wasn't the type that fell for the filter men would put on before their true colors were shown. She didn't fall for the same three lines dudes would say to get in her pants nor the same repetitive and disrespectful gestures. She was all for actions, yes, but she knew how to differentiate between forced ones and the ones that came from the heart. Even sometimes the ones from the heart didn't feel real to her, but that was as close as she was going to get to a real man. She knew one day she wanted to get married and live a happy life Mr. Right. But, in a world where disrespecting black women for clout was a new trend, sneaky links existed, and being exclusive was always a problem to people, she preferred being single than dealing with a man-child. Or any man at that matter. But, that was easier said than done. In most cases she was ready to lay down with a man even if he was a walking red flag, but she controlled herself. That was until she met the man himself where the thought of doing bad felt so damn good. She was tempted, but wasn't easy. This is Temptation.Complete
