Based in 1950s Charlotte, North Carolina.
Gloria must endure the hurdles of integrating into a previously all-white high school. She is determined to survive her senior year and graduate without breaking. Being the first colored student set to graduate at a white school in the history of Charlotte, her family are counting on her.
Alex attends the newly integrated school. He struggles living under the shadow of his father, a powerful man affiliated with the school and a bigoted white supremacist.
Crossing paths, Gloria and Alex don't get on well at first, but somehow keep gravitating towards one another despite their differences, unveiling each other's secrets. Society forbids it, but what do the two think? Will their flame remain lit, or will they allow societal demands to put it out?
Or maybe, the segregated society doesn't determine their fate.

Experience Me
Life is all about experiences. Experiencing situations, experiencing different places, things and most importantly, experiencing people. We experience different people every day whether you're passing someone on the street or having lunch with a coworker. Each experience is unique in design, some more than others. This is the beauty in life. We get the opportunity to experience these people and learn different lessons. Some of these lessons may be difficult and some may be enriching. Regardless, each one is worth the ride whether you want to believe it or not. I believe romantic experiences are the ones that teach us the most about ourselves whilst family and friends teach us important life lessons. You attempt to prepare yourself for the rush of emotions, try to gain some control, but your efforts are fruitless. Just enjoy a ride on the wave of unpredictability and experience each person with an open heart. Ariah Miller, a 25-year-old graphic designer, is a strong and determined African American woman set on accomplishing her goals and isn't looking for any emotional attachments. However, tall, dark, and gorgeous Silas Wilson becomes an investor at Ariah's job and he is used to working hard for something he wants and Ariah just so happens to be on his to-do list. Get ready for intense romance and untethered desire.Complete

She wants his hatred, and she's better at earning it than he expects. He wants her to fall for him again, not for love, but to watch it break her.
