Nathan Brooks. A 23 year old college student finding his way between the walls of a rather small dry cleaners shop. He strives for the simple college life, keeping to himself and never doing more than necessary. Elias bursts through the doors one day, practically begging for help with his boss' messed up, coffee-stained shirt; and he brings a storm right in with him.
Expecting to never see the pretty blond ever again, life moves on. Only weeks later they meet again with another surprise for Nathan that nearly wipes the floor right from under his feet. His high school best friend? What is going on?
One thing leads to another and the lives of four very different men are suddenly becoming intertwined, chaotic and very messy. A mess much bigger than any coffee stain and one that Nathan might not be able to clean up. How ironic that he cleans other people's messes, but he can't seem to be able to do the same for himself.
Part-time job turned into a hotspot of potential love and romance. How did that happen?

I couldn't help this sudden boldness that came over me, just like at the party. I wanted nothing more than for it to go away. I felt like I would get myself into loads of mischief. ~~~~~~~~~🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹~~~~~~~~~~ Nathan was a handsome popular senior, living in a cliche bubble until, Candice, a beautiful loner, enters his superficial, twisted world.

Fallen Too Deep
MATURE CONTENT Enter at your own risk.... "I'm not expecting declarations of love, nor anything much, really. Hell, I don't even know if I want a relationship. But I can't deny that I want you. Really bad." I admitted it for the first time aloud. "I think it's pretty out there that we want each other, don't you?" A teasing grin played about his lips. "So what do you suppose we do about that?" I eyed his lips and sucked in my own. "Well, you're the first girl that I don't see as a one-time thing so it's not like we do it once and I can just let you go." He said. "Maybe you won't have to." I proposed. "We're both obviously not into a relationship right now, and that's why I think it would be best to keep it physical in that sense and we wouldn't damage our friendship because there was never a relationship to squash it." ******************************************************* With the inability to trust the male population, Sofia Vincenti goes into college with the thought that she would be strictly focusing on school...for a little bit anyway.

Secretly Falling (Interracial)
Ella built her life out of control and caution- every late night study session, every perfectly planned move was a brick in the wall protecting her heart. Love was never part of the equation. It was chaos, and chaos was the one thing she refused to let in. Then came Elias- quiet confidence, steady hands, and a gaze that saw straight through her defenses. He didn't just walk into her life; he unraveled it, one heartbeat at a time. Behind her ambition, Ella carried secrets- the kind that still haunted her when the world went silent. A broken home. A heart that learned to flinch before it ever learned to trust. Now Elias is offering her something terrifyingly beautiful- a chance at love that feels too real to be safe. But to take it, she'll have to do the one thing she hasn't done in a long time: let someone in. And that might be the bravest- or the most dangerous- decision of her life.
