Nalani had finally found peace.
After walking away from a relationship that left her questioning her worth, she focused on one thing-herself. Work, family, and the quiet life she built were enough. Love wasn't even on her radar anymore.
Then one night out with her friends changes everything.
Kashamere isn't the type of man Nalani ever imagined getting close to. He's confident, street-smart, and known throughout Tampa for moving in circles far from the world she grew up in. But beneath the chains, reputation, and late-night lifestyle is a man who notices the small things about her that others overlook.
What starts as harmless conversation slowly turns into something deeper.
But Nalani's past isn't done with her yet.
Her ex, Oso-the man who once broke her down piece by piece-is suddenly back around, and he's not ready to let her go. As old wounds reopen and tensions rise, Nalani finds herself caught between the life she rebuilt and the feelings she's developing for a man who comes from a completely different world.
Loving Kashamere might feel right...
But in his world, nothing comes without consequences.
And sometimes the hardest part of moving forward is finally letting the past stay where it belon

My Obsession #2
There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.Complete
