On the anniversary of her mother's death, 22-year-old Kimberly Hall plans to muster the courage to visit her mother's grave and spend the weekend in bed. Her cousin and friends have something else in mind. Megan, Jacob, and D'Various coax her into traveling to Atlanta, Georgia to attend their first "Freaknik festival."

Jacob and D'Various see it as an opportunity to put their music out there -- while Megan looks for any and every chance to party and mingle. Not a musician nor a hardcore party girl, Kimberly reluctantly agrees, intending to meet new people.

During the trip, buried feelings surface through shared glances and seeking proximity to the other. But the party comes to an abrupt end when a fight breaks out.
The four must find their way home before the news of the attack reaches Dahlonega and somehow continue with their lives where they left off.

A Surprise Baby in the CEO's Arms by Kyo-Wilder
13 parts Ongoing Mature
When Elara was ten, her family collapsed and she was quietly folded into Jonas's world as his supposed "little sister." To her, Jonas was more than a guardian; he was first love, the secret she kept beneath her ribs. She watched him move through life with a confidence she could only admire from afar, learning to treasure small mercies as if they were miracles. At twenty, everything broke. One drunken night Jonas kissed her-an impulsive, confusing violation that read like permission and betrayal all at once. By morning his engagement was announced and by midnight he'd arranged for her to leave the country. He cut contact with the kind of finality that felt like erasure. Six years later, Elara returns-not to beg, but to reclaim the life she's built for her daughter, Lila. She has worked hard, learned to be fiercely self-reliant, and guarded the truth about Lila's father. Running into Jonas at the company where fate plants them both detonates the fragile order they each maintain. He sees the child and demands, stunned and raw, "Give me a plausible explanation-whose child is this?" That question upends them both. For Elara, Lila is survival and dignity. For Jonas, the child is a scandal that could shatter family reputation and the neat certainties he's lived by. This is a slow-burn second-chance romance about motherhood, pride, and whether two people shaped by the same past can find a new future without losing themselves.

She enjoyed being off everyone's radar in the small town of Luxberg. She had a small group of friends, an adoring family, and a love for her town. That was until the Parkers moved in across the street. A new friend with a tattooed god for an older brother changes Gabby's normal little life upside down. She finds herself fascinated by Jackson Parker, especially by his criminal past-which is filed away in sealed records. Not even her father, the town police officer, will spill as to what her new neighbor did to put himself behind bars. Jackson seems to be just as fascinated with Gabby Brooks, the daughter of his probation officer/town cop. His eyes are set on making her the next victim of his playful games, just to piss off her dad. Even with her father's warnings to stay away from the new neighbors, Gabby finds herself breaking the rules for the first time in her life. It brings out the best and the worst of the people she trusts the most, including herself. Secrets she didn't even know she carried are brought to light, shaking the town to its core. What Jackson and Gabby don't realize, is how much their lives will change because they can't seem to stay away from each other. Sometimes change is not always for the best.
