Breanna John has spent her whole life in the glossy world of Bennett Resorts & Villas. As the new CEO, her future is mapped out - luxury boardrooms, black-tie galas, and the pressure to keep her father's empire flawless.
Tristian Escoffery's world couldn't be further away. Homeless on the streets of Kingston, his only priority is keeping his 4-year-old daughter safe and fed.
What begins as one act of kindness turns into something far more complicated. Her world says they don't belong together. His world says he shouldn't trust her. But the closer they get, the more the lines blur...
And in a city divided by Uptown and Downtown, falling in love could cost them everything.

They fell deeply for two women they never saw coming, shattering their expectations and redefining their futures.

Meanwhile, he harbored a long-held secret affection for someone else, patiently waiting for reciprocation that seemed forever out of reach. Deshaun's world was one of hardship and struggle. As a self-taught graphic designer and high school student, he fought to make ends meet, all while navigating the scars of a troubled home life. A father's abuse and a mother's abandonment had left their mark, but he never lost hope. Then, unexpectedly, love walked into his life, bringing with it a chance to heal and rediscover himself. So let's see where life takes them. Copyright ©️

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.Complete
