IN THE NAME OF DESIRE: a prayer unfinished
His eyes grow heavy, and then, in a voice so low it barely exists, "I want you." I freeze. "Every bit of you. Naked and clothed. Vain and deep. Bratty and unsure. Every piece you have to offer." ----------- He told himself he shouldn't look at her. Shouldn't think about her. Shouldn't want her. But he did. An Egyptian man, raised among women who valued modesty, where faith was unshaken and restraint was second nature. But here, in Nigeria, at one of its most prestigious universities, his convictions wavered. Everything about this place was loud-the voices, the laughter, the confidence. But nothing unsettled him more than her. A Nigerian Woman. The way she dressed. The way she carried herself. The way she met his gaze without fear. He had been taught that women like her were reckless, unrestrained. He had been warned against their kind. Yet, why couldn't he look away? He needed focus. School. Graduation. Home. That was the plan. That was the only path. But distraction had a name. And she was a fire in his veins. Now, he had to choose-duty or desire. -----------------------Complete
The Girl That Never Cared
Alysha never cared what anyone thought-until senior year made it impossible not to. Seventeen-year-old Alysha has spent her entire life in a small town where nothing ever changes. She keeps her head down, avoids the drama, and counts the days until graduation. But when she's pulled into a new friend group during her final year, Alysha finds herself trapped in a cycle of secrets, loyalty tests, and nonstop chaos she never asked for. And then there's Derek-intense, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore. And Jake-steady, familiar, and the one choice that actually makes sense. Caught between what feels safe and what feels real, Alysha must decide how much she's willing to risk before senior year ends and everything she knows changes forever.Complete
