Nalah is what most people call a trying young girl. She tries her best to work hard in her Niche, hoping that one day she'll accomplish all she needs to live comfortably. 

She finds herself in a bind when she's left stranded one night. Scared and alone she tries to reach out to everyone she possibly can, fortunately in the midst of her distress comes what some may call a 'knight in shining armor', or in this case a Handsome Rasta man in a Porsche.

She immediately recognizes this knight as Skip Marley, the Grandson of reggae legend Bob 'Skippa' Marley. 

As the story progresses, circumstances bound them together but Nalah is adamant that she won't let herself fall for his charms.

While Skip himself is unsure if what he feels for her are real feelings-or just...infatuation. 

As time progresses they realize that being together feels natural. The connection between them is undeniable, but defining their feelings? That's the real challenge.

They avoid labels to protect themselves, but are there deeper issues keeping them apart?

Guns & Roses || (August Alsina) by WaveyKi

"Sometimes you run into the right person at the wrong time, and things don't always turn out how there expected to be. There may be love but love doesn't over power the act of negativity" 22-year-old Carina Thompson lives a carefree L.A. lifestyle, yet beneath the surface, she struggles with the same confusion many young people face-wounds from childhood, uncertainty about her future, and untapped potential. Young, broken, and talented, she drifts through life, letting it take her wherever it may. Growing up with a high-class father meant living a high-class lifestyle, but everything changes when she crosses paths with Quincy Alsina, a 22-year-old Louisiana native from the streets. He's the opposite of her in many ways-yet eerily similar to the men in her family. Their friendship quickly turns into something deeper, but their relationship is plagued with issues. The real problem? Neither of them understands that communication and listening are the keys to a healthy relationship. And if it's not healthy... isn't it just a waste of time? Can a honeymoon stage ever last forever? Will you ask me to marry you? Was this all a game or are we really in love?

Astrid by _howAboutNope_

Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged. She went through something traumatic at only 14, but no one noticed. She moved to Roseville for a fresh start with her best friend Kaitlyn by her side. But Carter notices. He was a "bad boy" with a heart of gold (ik it's cliché) . He never let anything slip by him. He doesn't say anything as their personalities clash and they hate each other. You know what they say, there is a thin line between love and hate. Will these two step over the line? But sometimes, running away from your problems doesn't go down unnoticed. The very person Astrid ran away from is after her, and this time, the consequences will be worse. -- This is an enemies-friends-lovers book and they become friends early on because I find it difficult to write going from enemies to lovers so yeah. *unedited book* #1 in talent show (29/02/24)

The Vipers Temptation | Completed by creativemindxo

After a failed attempt at a relationship, I try to make it on my own. However, I end up with a new neighbor who exudes charm, danger, and sexual energy as if it's a job. To make matters worse, I find myself semi-kidnapped by the same dangerous, foul-mouthed, rude neighbor who turns out to be a part of the Italian Mafia. Now, I'm stuck riding shotgun while being chased by gun-wielding maniacs on our way to someplace "safe." I'm beginning to think this is my new reality. *Trigger Warning* Graphic violence, explicit mature scenes, and non-consensual touching (not from the main love interest).

Best Served Fake by onceuponabook_

"Little Valerie," said Kai, bending closer to me. "Are you blackmailing me into dating you?" He didn't seem particularly disturbed by the notion. In fact, he remained completely amused. "Yes?" Kai grinned. "Very mafia of you. I'm weirdly kind of into it." *** When Valerie Williams discovers that her long-term boyfriend is sleeping with her best friend, she devises a revenge plot to get back at them both. But when she asks bad boy Kai Delaney to pretend to date her, she never thought her heart would be on the line. *** Self-proclaimed pessimist Valerie Williams is definitely your glass-half-empty kind of girl. However, Valerie is surprisingly optimistic when her (ex) boyfriend cheats on her with her (also ex) best friend. Valerie doesn't believe in holding grudges; she believes in getting even. Which doesn't seem easy, until her boyfriend's least favourite person and her best friend's long-standing crush, the sarcastic, cocky and popular bad boy extraordinaire Kai Delaney crashes, quite literally, into her life. When Kai accidentally hits her car with what is practically a monster truck, and can barely afford to cover it, Valerie has an idea. If Kai agrees to pretend to date her, for long enough to make her boyfriend and best friend regret their actions, Valerie will give him the duration of their scam to pull together the money to pay her back. Revenge is a dish best served fake. [150,000-200,000 words]
