An Urban College Romance Novel

Darrell, a smooth-talking, ambitious freshman from Harlem, arrives at Morehouse College ready to chase his dream of becoming a lawyer. Nevaeh, a fiercely determined and no-nonsense pre-med student from Albany, Georgia, steps onto Spelman's campus with her sights set on becoming a surgeon. Both are laser-focused on their futures, but life has a way of intertwining stories in the most unexpected ways.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Atlanta's HBCU culture, Crossed Paths follows Darrell and Nevaeh as they navigate the challenges of college life-intense academic pressures, fraternity and sorority events, wild parties, and the highs and lows of young love. Despite their differences and past heartbreaks, they find themselves drawn together again and again.

But when misunderstandings, distance, and personal insecurities threaten to tear them apart, they must decide if love is worth fighting for. With vivid depictions of Black excellence, community, and culture, Crossed Paths is a heartfelt journey of ambition, growth, and the undeniable pull of destiny.

This is a story about finding yourself while finding someone who sees the real you. Will Darrell and Nevaeh's paths merge for good, or will life lead them in separate directions?

Perfect for fans of college romance, coming-of-age tales, and unapologetic Black love.

Genre: College Romance | Drama | Slow Burn | Slice of Life Elia Santiago believes in three things: warm coffee, Sunday Mass, and writing about people the world tends to overlook. A sunshine-hearted accountancy student and school journalist, she lives a quiet life filled with quiet dreams, steady goals, and weekly prayers beneath stained-glass windows. She doesn't chase chaos-until she crosses paths with it. Aiden Reyes is chaos in disguise. Cold, calculating, and effortlessly brilliant, he's an engineering major with a god-tier archery arm, a loyal circle of six equally chaotic friends, and walls so high no one ever bothers to climb them. Until Elia shows up-pen in hand, smile in place, and a habit of noticing the things he tries to hide. What starts as a series of accidental encounters turns into something else-something neither of them can quite name. As their worlds begin to blur between the mini dates, Elia finds herself unraveling the quiet boy's silence. And Aiden? He's learning that maybe being seen isn't so terrifying after all. But with rumors, personal battles, and expectations looming in the background, the question remains: Can two people from different worlds stay on the same path, or are they just parallel lines destined to drift apart?

The Neighbor || Ja Morant by moreoftee
25 parts Ongoing Mature
Some temptations are too close to ignore. Monica Rivers has spent years building a quiet life for herself and her daughter Raina in their cozy Atlanta condo. Focused, guarded, and fiercely independent, she's done everything right until Zayden Carter moves in downstairs. Young, smooth, and carrying a quiet fire beneath his easy smile, Zay is everything Monica knows she should stay away from. Especially since Raina seems to take a liking to their new neighbor almost immediately. But proximity has a way of eroding good intentions. Late-night run-ins, lingering glances, and unspoken conversations begin to crack the walls Monica built around her heart. The closer Zay and Raina get, the harder Monica fights a desire she can't afford to acknowledge a desire that could destroy the careful balance she's fought to maintain. Caught between loyalty, longing, and the fear of what's right versus what's real, Monica has to decide: Some lines aren't meant to be crossed. But what if the love you need the most is the one that's been living right downstairs?
