Emma and Alex, two college students from different universities, fall deeply in love after a chance meeting at an inter-university sports event. Despite the geographical distance between them, they build a strong connection through calls and messages, cherishing the rare moments they can meet in person. However, as time passes, Emma begins to feel restless and bored with their relationship. She starts to ignore Alex, becoming distant and cold-hearted. Seeking excitement, she downloads a dating app and meets Jason, an older man who initially seems to offer everything she desires-playfulness, spontaneity, and attention.

As Emma's relationship with Jason intensifies, she continues to neglect Alex, dismissing his attempts to reconnect and eventually suggesting a breakup, which Alex reluctantly accepts despite his deep love for her. However, as weeks pass, Emma begins to notice changes in Jason. He becomes increasingly distant, replying to her texts late or not at all, and always coming up with excuses for his absences. Confused and frustrated, Emma confronts Jason about their relationship, only to receive a vague and unsettling response. Jason expresses that he values their friendship and wants to keep things uncomplicated, leaving Emma unsure of where she stands.

The realization that Jason has no intention of committing hits Emma hard. She begins to understand that she was never more than a temporary distraction for him. This painful truth forces Emma to confront the fact that she traded a genuine, loving relationship with Alex for the fleeting thrill of something new. Now, with Jason's intentions clear and her heart aching with regret, Emma wonders if she deserves a second chance with Alex or if she has lost him forever. The story explores the complexities of love, the consequences of taking it for granted, and the painful journey of self-discovery that follows betrayal and regret.

Sariah's first year at Clark University is supposed to be about new beginnings, independence, and finding her path. But as she steps into the unknown, she finds herself caught between the expectations of who she *should* be and the person she's beginning to uncover beneath the surface. Her journey of self-discovery takes an unexpected turn when she meets Mercedes, her eclectic, Afrocentric, crystal-loving roommate who introduces Sariah to a side of her culture she's never fully explored. Mercedes' unapologetic embrace of her black roots and spiritual practices forces Sariah to confront the parts of her identity she's kept hidden or ignored, opening her eyes to a deeper connection to her culture. At the same time, Sariah finds herself paired with Drew, a mysterious and artistic classmate, for a challenging art project. Initially, Drew seems like just another classmate-but as their collaboration deepens, Sariah begins to see him in a different light. With Drew, she finds herself questioning more than just her art; she begins to wonder if she's ready to open her heart and take a leap into something more than just a creative partnership. Sariah navigates the messy, beautiful, and transformative process of learning who she really is, embracing her culture, and discovering that sometimes, the path to self-awareness is more about the people we meet than the answers we seek. A tale of friendship, love, and self-empowerment, this coming-of-age story is a celebration of what it means to find your roots while forging your own identity.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.

SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/iWTMRlu For Alex, life seems perfect. He's built a steady career, nurtured a close bond with his younger brother, Josh, and found what he believes to be true love with Emma. Together, they form an inseparable trio of laughter, loyalty, and shared memories. But beneath the surface of Alex's seemingly ideal world lies a dark truth he's never imagined. One impulsive decision-to come home early, brimming with excitement to surprise Emma-shatters his life in an instant, exposing an unimaginable betrayal that leaves him questioning everything he thought he knew. As Alex stumbles upon Emma and Josh entwined in the betrayal, they offer him a chilling invitation: to join them. Frozen in shock, he feels his reality slip away, each past interaction with his brother and girlfriend now colored by suspicion and deceit. Retreating into a spiral of doubt, Alex revisits every laugh, every touch, and every lingering glance, realizing he's ignored countless signs of their betrayal. Seeking solace, Alex turns to his best friend, Clara, who helps him navigate the haunting aftermath and face his own vulnerability. But when an old rivalry and hidden family secrets come to light, Alex realizes he was not merely a victim of his loved ones' choices. Years of simmering jealousy, familial favoritism, and emotional avoidance rise to the surface, pushing Alex to examine how he allowed illusions to dictate his happiness. As Alex begins to rebuild himself, he stumbles upon a final, shocking revelation: Emma never loved Josh either. Her affair with him was a calculated act, designed to "free" Alex from the lie he'd been living. Stripped bare of the illusions that once comforted him, Alex is left to confront his own worth and face the uncomfortable truth-he's spent years bound by a false sense of security, ignoring his inner voice.
