One night. One dance. One man she wasn't supposed to remember-but can't forget.
Sage Bellevue came to Jamaica for a break, not a breakdown. But when her waist meets his hands on a red-lit dancefloor, sparks fly, tongues tangle, and names don't matter. "Maurice" is a mystery with lips that taste like trouble-and eyes that see too much. She swore it was just a moment. But fate's got a playlist of its own.
She's fire and feeling. He's fame and flaws. And when their bodies move in sync, their secrets start to unravel.
The rhythm gets them close.
The reckoning? That's what happens after the last beat drops.

How To Self Destruct?
I pace around the waiting room of the hospital as Jakira was sitting down shaking her leg nervously. The hospital was busy as nurses were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. People in stretchers were coming in and out as well, as Melanie and Alexis finally arrived. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER DYLAND!" Melanie screams at me as she sprints toward me attacking me. "You fucking murderer!" She snaps as she grabs my hair pulling on it as Alexis tries to grab her off of me. "He didn't kill her!" Jakira tries to tell Melanie but she wasn't listening as her eyes were swollen from crying. I grab her arms pulling them to her sides and hugging her. "I'm sorry Melanie." I tell her as she calms down for a second before pushing me off of her. What happens when a man neglects his responsibilities? Or when he finds it hard to control his impulses? Or when he starts to loathe himself and others? All it takes is one bad day but no one ever pays attention to the weeks or months it took to get you there. Now. Observe as Dyland's life slowly self destructs right before your very eyes.

Bully stepbrother
BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.Complete

Karma's Heart
Karma's Heart is a slow burn, emotionally charged love story between two opposites who clash, combust, and slowly come undone in each other's orbit. Pelo moved into the apartment complex for peace, not problems. Especially not ones like Karma-a shirtless, smug, maddening neighbour who insists on touching her boundaries and tipping her world off balance. She's prickly. He's persistent. But what begins as tension, irritation, and barbed banter evolves into something layered and tender: stolen glances, slow confessions, unspoken knowing. Through sickness and missteps, dreams and doorsteps, arguments and almosts, they learn what it means to choose each other. Over and over. To hold space. To rebuild trust. To stay soft in a world that made them hard. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes, it knocks like consequence- But stays like heart. --- OPENING LINES (Draft): Pelo didn't like people. She especially didn't like him. The first time Karma touched her, she recoiled like he'd passed a live wire to her skin. Germs, she told herself. But it wasn't just that. It was the way his hand lingered. The way he looked at her like he already knew how the story would go. And she hated that. Because she had moved here for peace. Not for a man with tattoos, trouble in his grin, and a voice that could talk her into bad decisions if she stood too close too long. Not for someone who made her say please in her head when she didn't want him to follow, and made her scream into pillows when he did. But Karma never asked for permission. And the worst part? A small, buried part of her didn't want him to. #1 poeticlove #1 steamymoments #1 blackwomenlead #3 touchstarved #1 softmasculinity #1 blackgirlmagic![Once Upon His Deal [•COMPLETED•]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/155448485-256-k541432.jpg)
