Kara Williams is an art major with her eyes set on her future, determined to graduate without letting distractions derail her goals. But college life is never that simple. Her best friend, Leo, is a charming, flirtatious theater major who knows just how to push her buttons-especially when it comes to her love life, or lack thereof. Despite their playful banter, Kara has sworn off relationships until graduation, a promise that becomes harder to keep when she meets Leo's older brother, Shane Carver.
Shane is everything Kara didn't expect in a professor-young, strikingly handsome, and utterly off-limits. As her new art history professor, he stirs feelings in Kara that she can't ignore, challenging both her focus and her heart. Torn between her deepening crush on Shane and her close bond with Leo, Kara finds herself navigating a complex web of desire, friendship, and self-discovery.
In a story where the lines between friendship and love blur, Periwinkle explores the intense emotions of young adulthood, the pursuit of passion, and the art of finding oneself amid the chaos of college life. Will Kara stay true to her ambitions, or will her heart lead her down an unpredictable path?
This first installment of The Colors Trilogy is a captivating tale of love, loyalty, and the vibrant colors that paint the canvas of our lives.

Forbidden, small-town best friend's little sister romance I've known Desiree since she was five years old. And now that she's all grown up, parading her luscious body around me while her brother is out of town, I'm not so sure how much longer I can resist her. She drives me crazy, and the longer she's in my presence, I don't think I can control my hands or filthy mouth around her any longer. Only, there's a huge problem; she's my best friend's little sister. I've wanted to make Desiree mine since I kissed her on her eighteenth birthday. But her brother, Dante, and my best friend threatened that if I were ever to do that to her again, I'd be sorry, and said if I didn't wish to lose my lifelong friendship with him, I'd know what's good for me if I kept my hands and mouth to myself. But I've got some dirty little secrets--ones I know Dante would kill me over if he ever found out what I've done and hidden from him over the years. Now I need to figure out if losing a friendship with him is worth going after what I want. And since Desiree returned from college sporting a massive rock on her ring finger, I need to decide if going after her is worth it. Credit for cover: www.artfulcover.comComplete

But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete

Wicked Sins
"There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable." - Mark Twain ------------------------- The moment our eyes meet, the sparks in the air are almost tangible. My heart begins to flutter in my chest as I slowly slip away, drowning in those arcane silver seas that glinted with specks of gold in them. My breaths are stolen away with just a fortuitous slight brush of his hand against mine. And he isn't exactly in oblivion of the profound emotions he kindles in me. He is rather transparent about it. But, he is forbidden. He is my cousin's husband. The cousin who means more than a sister to me. We are bestfriends. And I just couldn't be selfish enough to set fire to their marriage that was already falling apart. So, I concealed my unequivocal attraction for him in the deepest corner of my mind until the night when he shows up on my doorstep with intents darker than the tenebrous night. -------------------------- **Warning: This novella contains mature and sexual contents.
