Zaylen Brooks has everything-good looks, star athlete status, and the letters of Alpha Phi Alpha on his chest. But behind the quiet confidence is a guy who hates attention, hates small talk, and hates the loud chaos of campus life. He keeps to himself, speaking only when necessary, his world neatly ordered and predictable.

Amara Hayes is the opposite. A transfer student and majorette dancer, she's a whirlwind of energy and charm, a social butterfly who lights up every room she enters. Her ADHD mind never stops racing, and neither does her mouth. New to the university, she's determined to make friends, leave a mark, and dance her way into every heart-whether they like it or not.

They meet at a packed Greek party on her very first week-a place Zaylen doesn't want to be and a place Amara feels completely at home. She's drawn to the mysterious basketball player who hides in the corner, and he's intrigued by the girl who refuses to let him stay invisible.

What starts as harmless curiosity turns into something neither of them expected. She teaches him how to open up, how to laugh more, how to feel. He teaches her how to slow down, how to breathe, how to find calm in the chaos.

But can a silent soul and a restless heart find balance together?

A sweet, feel-good Black college romance about finding love in unexpected places-and learning that sometimes, opposites don't just attract, they complete each other.All Rights Reserved

When Love Intervenes by JayRii26

A'zaria Brooks is a focused, no-nonsense nursing student determined to graduate at the top of her class. Distractions like parties, gossip, and campus drama don't interest her-especially not Camron Banks, the football and basketball captain whose flashy reputation as a player precedes him everywhere he goes. When Camron suffers a career-threatening injury, A'zaria is assigned to his care as part of her clinical student aid training. Initially reluctant to get involved, she soon discovers a different side of him: beneath the confident exterior is a vulnerable young man struggling to find purpose off the field. Camron's parents, former athletes themselves, have always held him to sky-high standards-expecting nothing less than excellence and championship titles. His injury not only threatens his sports career but also strains his relationship with them, adding immense pressure to prove himself beyond the game. Surprisingly gentle and sincere, Camron volunteers for every rehab session and seeks A'zaria's help not just for his physical recovery but to keep his mind off the uncertainty of his future. As their friendship deepens, A'zaria starts to see past the headlines, and Camron begins to respect her passion and resilience. But when Camron's ex-girlfriend-who's still in love with him-starts stirring trouble, their growing bond faces challenges. A'zaria must decide if she's willing to risk her heart for a boy everyone thinks she can't have, and Camron must confront what it means to truly care for someone beyond the spotlight.

When her family arranges a marriage with Ryan, a sarcastic and seemingly perfect doctor, Amara sees it as an escape from her reality-without realizing just how complicated things will become.

Don't Pull Me In (bxb) WIP by MidasPinkRose

When you hate someone, you ignore them, hate them quietly and build up reasons to stack that hatred. What happens when they shove a way into your life? They highlight your problems, the things that are breaking you and you can't do anything about it. What happens when that person is the only person that cares enough to reach out, to help you, to show you that they care? When they pull you in, you push away.. right? Right? ~ Otis Kaifer is doing great! He's got a sports scholarship, he's the co-captain of the soccer team in college. He has a loving girlfriend who loves him and a best friend who would die for him. But with life, somethings wrong. Rumours are floating about, people are talking and Otis refuses to confront it, he can't, his perfect life that he strives for would be broken. He just can't. So, Chase Sorinas doesn't really care about Otis' whole thing. If anything, the only connection that they both share if that Otis is dating Darcy Glossm, and her twin sister: Lexi Glossm is Chase's best friend and maybe they have a friends with benefits thing going on. Too many names, too many connections and Chase.. shouldn't care. But seeing someone trying to put their life back together with used tape with crumbs on the sticky side.. yeah it made him feel bad. And if Lexi is so adamant about helping.. maybe he could move the walls around a bit and see where they go. It wouldn't hurt to try right? To pull someone in, to learn a new way to love, even if it hurts. Even if you have to wait. Maybe it's worth it. ~ (WARNING: This story contains: sexual language, sexual activities, underage drinking, substance misuse and possibly much more. Read at your own risk.)

The Girl Who Walked Away by concernedpenguin

Prologue In the world of college life, words are often thrown around like confetti-light, colorful, and sometimes lacking substance. They say things to fill the silence, to create connections, and to express feelings that often remain hidden beneath the surface. But what happens when those words fall flat? When the promises made in fleeting moments fade into echoes of unfulfilled intentions? This is a story about the complexities of communication and the silent battles fought within relationships. It began with a simple smile exchanged in the midst of chaos during National Pharmacy Week-a moment that seemed inconsequential yet held the weight of possibilities. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by the way he spoke, the way he made her feel. But as she discovered, words alone would not be enough to bridge the gap between us. As their paths intertwined, we danced around each other in a series of unsaid feelings, lingering glances, and an unspoken connection that left her yearning for more. But with every promise unkept, the reality became clearer: words are just that-words. They mean little without the actions to back them up. This is the story of Elle's journey through that realization, a tale of fleeting moments, unfulfilled expectations, and ultimately, the power of choosing clarity over confusion. It's about learning that love is not just spoken; it's demonstrated. And in the end, it was a lesson that would change everything she thought she knew about relationships and herself.
