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 promised it was just fun. No strings. No feelings. So why does it feel like everything? At twenty-two, Sloane doesn't have room in her life for heartbreak.

And when the girl he once claimed to love whispers a lie that cuts too deep, he doesn't just believe it-he uses it to break Sloane in the cruelest way. By the time the truth comes out, Sloane's heart is in ruins, and Braden's the one left bleeding. He never meant to fall for her. He never meant to lose her, either. Now he's ready to fight for the only woman he's ever really loved. But some promises can't be undone. And Sloane might be the one thing Braden can't win back.Complete

Her standards are high, and her fears even higher. Will a man ever truly accept her and her child? Then there's Justin - Seoni's father. Though they never had a stable relationship, he's remained present, loving, and supportive. As he slowly begins to reappear in Jaylin's life, old feelings start to resurface. Could the one who once walked away... be the one she was meant to love all along? Torn between her past and future, her fears and desires, Jaylin must decide: Is she ready to open her heart again?
