He swore off love. She made him question everything.
After being cheated on one too many times, Montrell-hot-headed, heartbroken, and in his senior year-is done with love. Girls? Not worth it. Relationships? Hell no. He'd rather drown his pain in smoke, liquor, and the comfort of being untouchable.
That is, until Reina walked in.
A mixed Cuban-Black beauty with big eyes behind glasses, an infectious smile like sunlight, and a dimple deep enough to dive in -Reina is trouble from the moment she transfers in. At 5'6" and soft-spoken, she doesn't seem dangerous. But Montrell knows better. Girls like her make you feel again. Girls like her make you forget why you built walls in the first place.
As they grow closer-through stolen glances, sharp words, and undeniable pull-the question becomes:
Can he resist the way she sees past his anger?
Can she handle the storm inside him?
Or will their chemistry burn them both?

Zaire doesn't know if she's the cure he's been running from...or the wound that finally destroys him. Because in his world, love isn't soft. It's survival. And sometimes survival leaves you BROKEN.

𝑵𝒐 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒎
18+ content with sexuality and domestic violence and traumatizing experience _________________________ Life is not like a movie where we are born into a rich and perfect family, where our childhood feels like a fairy tale and everything we wish for magically appears in our hands. In films, parents never argue with us, never refuse us anything. Life flows smoothly, almost unreal. In those stories, when we become teenagers, we begin to "live." We go to night outs at friends' houses, attend loud house parties, wander into clubs, and return home late at night without anyone stopping us. We drive our own cars, free and fearless. One evening, we take the person we love on a long drive, the road stretching endlessly ahead of us. Under a sky scattered with countless stars, we stop the car somewhere quiet. The world becomes silent except for the sound of our breathing. We look at the person beside us, kiss them, and fall deeper in love in that moment. Years pass, and eventually we marry that same person. After all, we were always perfect in this imaginary story-so of course our parents approve without hesitation. After the wedding, we travel the world together, exploring new countries and chasing sunsets, living a life that seems endlessly joyful. Then one day, we decide it's time for a child. We imagine a small home far away from the chaos of cities, somewhere surrounded by nature. A garden blooms outside the house, and vegetables grow in the little farm we cultivate with our own hands. Every morning before leaving for work, we share a gentle kiss. And one day, many years later, we imagine ourselves growing old together, lying side by side on the same bed, taking our final breaths in each other's presence. But that is only what humans hope for - a beautiful, comforting illusionComplete
