Seventeen-year-old Romario Barnes is a rising football star at Excelsior High School. With natural talent, street credibility, and a growing reputation as a ladies' man, everyone expects him to either make it big-or end up like the rest of his family caught in the streets of Kingston.
Torn between the world he comes from and the future he dreams of, Romario is offered a life-changing opportunity when a top-tier coach sees his potential. But old habits, temptations, and unresolved pain threaten to derail everything.
Then he meets Shovanna Brown-quiet, grounded, and unlike any girl he's ever known. She sees the real him, not just the footballer or the bad boy in training. With her, he begins to question who he is and who he wants to be.
Can Romario rise above the chaos, or will he throw away his shot before the final whistle blows?
A powerful coming-of-age story about love, loyalty, and chasing your dreams, set against the backdrop of inner-city Jamaica.

Zaria DeLuca is ready to leave the past behind as she starts her freshman year of college. Growing up as a Black and Italian girl who never quite fit in, she endured years of torment from her privileged, mean-girl ex-bully, Alessia Valentini. But Zaria isn't the same girl she used to be-she's stronger, wiser, and determined to focus on herself. Enter Lorenzo Valentini-Alessia's 42-year-old father. Wealthy, powerful, and dangerously charming, Lorenzo is nothing like his cold-hearted daughter. When he and Zaria cross paths, he's immediately drawn to her confidence, her intelligence, and the fire in her eyes that refuses to dim. But he knows better than to get involved with a woman half his age-especially one connected to his family's dark history. What starts as innocent conversations and stolen glances turns into something neither can ignore. Lorenzo tries to resist, but Zaria is intoxicating, and soon, he's risking everything to be close to her. The catch? Alessia can never find out. As their secret connection deepens, Zaria is tangled in a web of desire, power, and family drama. Can she handle the fallout if the truth comes to light? And will Lorenzo choose love over reputation when his carefully crafted world starts to unravel? A steamy, forbidden age-gap romance with heart, scandal, and just the right amount of danger, D.I.L.F. is about crossing lines, defying expectations, and finding love where you least expect it.Complete

He turned me around by my waist and placed his lips on mine. "Hi, Queenie." I walked to the side and hopped onto a desk. "Now is there a reason why you pulled me into an empty classroom?" I asked. He walked in between my legs placing his hands on either side of my legs. "I wanted a kiss," he said before leaning forward and connecting our lips again. My hands went to the back of his neck and into his hair. My tongue went into his mouth making him pull me against his body and squeeze my hips. When we pulled apart he rested his forehead against mine. "Will you come over after school? We can work on our project and makeout, well mostly makeout."* High school is hard enough without the problems faced being in California's most feared and the most powerful gang.
