Divine Jackson is driven. She's always had people to take care of, and that list barely included herself. So, it was hard making any room for a man between her family and her work. But with her best friend's wedding coming up, Divine can't be the maid of honor without a date. Online dating is a quick solution, just as long as love can take a backseat.

Eli Thomas is patient. He's been stuck thinking about the mouthy girl from college that ghosted him, but she's a woman now. After spending time abroad with work, his best friend's wedding is the perfect time to find a new flame... or rekindle an old one. Except, she might not be so willing to make room for him.

*COMPLETED!* Cover by @sandsmark Currently being EDITED. 1st Place Winner of The Chaos Awards 3: Romance 4/26/2018 "Can't you give me a break, Austin?" Angie snapped, as the graffiti covered trains roared by. "What do you see in me, anyway? I'm like any other black girl on the street!" "You really want to know what I see in you, Angela?" Austin spoke up. "I see a woman, a beautiful, smart, caring woman, with a fine sense of humor and with a good soul. That's what set you apart from all other women, not just black women that I have crossed paths with in my lifetime," he said. Tears threatened to form in Angie's eyes at his words. "I also see a woman who's been hurt so many times, that she's afraid to be close to the source," Austin continued. "Well, I'll have you know, Austin, that I am a grown woman, I'm not afraid of anything," Angie retorted with bravado. "Oh? So then why do you keep pushing me away?" Austin asked coldly. "Why can't you let me love you?" ****************************************************************************************** Set in New York City in the early 1980s, college graduate Angie Carver meets young, handsome plumbing trainee Austin Phillips on the bus. Sparks fly, and eventually they fall in love. Austin is head over heels in love with Angie. While Angie loves him too, it's hard for her to reciprocate that love, the reasons being that Austin is a little younger than she is, and most importantly, their skin color, as Austin is white and Angie is black, causing strong disapproval from her overbearing mother, a jealous ex lurking around, and an ignorant "best friend" who doesn't understand. Will Austin and Angie rise above or will their love crumble before it begins?

The Friend

31 parts Complete Mature

Bookworm Alicia Woodson only cares about one thing: having a successful life now that she's done with college. And the way she plans to do that is to land an entry-level position at the magazine she currently works for as a paid intern. Gorgeous Rodney Greene, who didn't graduate college, works as a construction worker and who's family history is pretty sketchy, only cares about proving to himself that he isn't like these other Harlem guys that are caught up in the mix. Under normal circumstances, Alicia and Rodney wouldn't have crossed paths, but fate intervenes when Alicia meets Rodney through her fine best friend Maxine, the girl he's currently talking to. Alicia doesn't understand what Maxine sees in him and Rodney thinks Alicia is stuck-up around him because he didn't finish school, but what happens when the two keep running into one another and soon their first impressions change and their feelings start to develop for one another?
