Peeling Back the Top Layer 🇯🇲
At age 30, publications editor Kelsie Taylor is slowly losing hope in finding her fairytale romance. The stories of the women around her who experience abuse and heartbreak along with her own experiences have made her cautious about entering a relationship. Her dream of finding forever love as a young adult is yet to actualize because none of the suitors she encountered so far have made a striking first impression. "I know that with Jamaican men I might have to kiss a few frogs before I find a prince but right now mi feel like a only frog deh here. Most of dem nuh worth more than a hi," she says to a man she only had brief, casual interactions over the past few weeks. He chuckles at her disclosure. "Yuh mean yuh just nuh kiss di right frog yet. And why yuh feel like yuh need a prince or a knight? You are no damsel in distress. You don't need saving." She shrugs at his observation, not sure how to respond. "You just need to get out of your way. I can bet you have written off men with a lot of potential with just one glance. But people are multilayered. You have to peel back the surface to get a better look at what's underneath before writing off a person," he adds. His advice might be just what she needs to guide her past the hurt she's witnessed and take the leap of faith to find true love. ⚠️Trigger warning: This story contains acts of violence and sexual abuse.مكتمِلة

No Fair
She came to Jamaica to find peace - but found love, lies, and the truth her heart wasn't ready for. Everly Amelia Evans is 16 years old when her life gets turned upside down... again. Her mother disappeared without a trace when she was 13, leaving Everly shattered, confused, and grieving. Since then, she's lived in Colombia with her two caring, nurturing aunts - the only people who tried to keep life feeling somewhat normal after everything fell apart. She's always loved her father, Maverick Lane Evans - a hardworking businessman from Jamaica who visited often, called weekly, and sent gifts every birthday. But after her mother vanished, something changed. Her father became more present, more insistent, and one day... he simply showed up in Bogotá. "Everly, tu papá será la persona que te cuidará de ahora en adelante" her aunt said Everly didn't want to go. Colombia was where her memories lived. Where her mother was last seen. But her aunts - though loving - believed it was time she reconnected with her roots in Jamaica and tried to heal. So, angry, resistant, and broken, Everly reluctantly moves to Jamaica to live with her father full-time. A new country. A new school. A new version of life she didn't ask for. Everything feels too loud , too fake - until she meets Aiden Fredrick Walters. Aiden is easy to talk to, always makes her laugh, and gives her the kind of attention she's never really had from a boy. He's charming, sweet, and respectful - the one part of her new life that makes sense. Before long, they fall fast and deep, and Everly feels herself beginning to heal. But then, she discovers she's pregnant. As she struggles with what this means for her future, Aiden promises her the world - love, support, and a plan. Everything seems okay. But something isn't right. Everly must unravel a tangled web of family lies, lost love, and generational secrets. In the process, she'll uncover the truth about her mother's disappearance
Perfect Escape
After a painful breakup and an engagement falling apart, Kaliyah retreats to her late grandmother's home in the quiet country, hoping for a fresh start. What she finds instead is Joshua-the once-annoying yard boy who's grown into the kind of man she swore she wasn't ready for. One unexpected kiss pulls them together. His sudden distance threatens to tear them apart. But when her ex-fiancé shows up unannounced and a fight breaks out on her driveway, Kaliyah is forced to confront what she's running from... and who she's running toward. Perfect Escape is a slow-burn Jamaican romance about healing, second chances, and the kind of love that finds you when you least expect it-but exactly when you need it.

Sweetheart
[COMPLETE] 18+ (but if you're not 18, I won't tell on you) --- It had been a mistake. It had all happened so fast. The look on her parents' faces when they found out had been devastating. Perhaps that was why she didn't complain when they decided to send her to a small village in Canada, away from the chaotic and luxurious Los Angeles, with the excuse of being an exchange student for a year. Grace Castle was more than happy to welcome Elizabeth "Lizzie" Wright in her modest house, along with her son Nate and, well, Aaron. It had been 2 years since Grace had taken in the troubled 18-year-old boy, after the tragedy that had occurred to him and his family. Dark and untamable like smoke, Aaron was the exact opposite of Lizzie, groomed to be the perfect woman, always following the rules, and stepping out of line only that one time. One time that cost her a year away from her old city, far away from curious ears and judging eyes. A year that was going to change her life completely, tumbling into a den of lions ready to devour her as soon as they had her in their pack as one of their own. He would not let her have it easy. It was time for sweet, docile Lizzie to face the world and its snakes. He'd make sure of that. Though... was he sure she was not just yet another wolf in a sheep's clothing? Was her heart as pure as he believed, or could it be shaded with swirls of gray smoke like his? ---مكتمِلة
