Rafael Gray was the kind of man people respected but never felt comfortable around. At 39, he was sharp, emotionally distant, and always dressed like the world might fall apart if he loosened his tie. He taught Comparative Literature at a prestigious university in Chicago, and the classroom was the only place he ever seemed alive. He was methodical, intense, brilliant but cold.

Imani Carter was 20. Young, vibrant, curious, and unapologetically herself. She was one of the few Black students in his department, outspoken in class but never reckless. She had a way of challenging Rafael in a way no student had before-not with arrogance, but with genuine insight and a quiet fire in her words.

Collision Of Hearts by lxvviaa

What happens when two people who exist in the gray spaces of control and chaos, find in each other the permission to feel without restraint? Freya has spent her life as a ghost in her own skin. Brilliant but reserved, introverted in a family that treats her quietness like a defect, she's learned to live small, to want nothing, to expect even less. She's never craved the messiness of deep connection, never understood the appeal of letting someone see the raw, unpolished truth beneath her carefully maintained surface. Enzo is a different kind of controlled intimidating, stern, a man who moves through the world with the kind of presence that makes others step aside. He lives in the gray spaces between right and wrong, and he's made peace with it. When they collide, something breaks open. The walls she's built crumble under his attention. The control he's maintained fractures in her presence. What begins as intellectual intimacy long conversations that peel back layers rather than clothes becomes something neither of them can contain. "I will feel this as deeply and express it as violently as I please." It's the philosophy that drives this entire story the idea that feeling deeply isn't weakness, that expressing it boldly isn't chaos, and that sometimes the most profound act of courage is letting someone witness you unravel. Welcome to their collision.

Three months of clean breaks and quiet mornings. Now, she's thrown herself back into school, determined to repair what their reckless affair almost cost her. She's passed her midterms. Focused on her friendships. Keeps her legs closed and her mouth shut. Even keeps her mother's proud. But what happens when fate-or maybe something crueler-pulls them back into each other's orbit, and Nova is faced with a brutal truth. This isn't about obsession anymore. This time, it's devotion.

Where We Begin by cmcbook

Aaliyah Johnson is in her final year at Magnolia State University, where she's balancing a scholarship, an art degree, and the pressure of not knowing what comes next. Elias Carter, the university's baseball captain, seems to have everything figured out, except his own heart. When mutual friends and a poetry club bring them together, sparks ignite in the most unexpected ways. She's brilliant and blunt; he's disciplined and mysterious. But between classes, practices, and the expectations of everyone around them, connection becomes the one thing they can't plan for. From strangers to friends to something far deeper, their story grows with every season, rooted beneath a magnolia tree that sees it all. Autumn brings sparks: "I'm curious about you, but I don't even know why yet." Winter, closeness: "You calm me when I didn't realise I needed calming." Spring, love: "I've known for a while... I just didn't want to ruin it." Summer, uncertainty: "Even if everything changes, you've changed me already."

August Beckham had many happy places the stars, the hidden field of flowers behind the school, but most importantly; his best friend. ••••••• "Delani, Imma cum." I grit through my teeth.

She saids through shallow breaths. My legs start to tremor as I threw my head back against the comforter when I feel her tighten around me, "Fuck I-" I felt a tinge of embarrassment when my words turn into a whimper. "You're doing so good, August. So fucking good." She moans. ••••••• Book Two of the Beloved Series Can be my read as a stand alone. 6/16/22- 1/1/23
