They say home is where the heart is... but for Giselle, home feels more like a cage.

Her diary becomes her only escape, filled with late-night thoughts, quiet hopes, and the dream of one day living freely on her own.
But between the sleepless nights and steady grind, Giselle slowly discovers her strength. She begins to create, to earn, and to imagine a future where she finally chooses herself. Step by step, she learns that independence isn't just about leaving - it's about becoming your own person.
Follow her journey through school, friendships, struggles, and small victories as she slowly builds the future she's been yearning for.

After killing her abusive ex in self-defense, Nia Carter, a quiet, emotionally scarred young woman from Atlanta, is sentenced to 7 years in a women's prison. Lost, afraid, and broken, she meets King, a dominant, charismatic stud serving 25 to life for a street murder. King runs the block and has the respect of guards and inmates alike. From the moment King sees Nia, she's drawn to her vulnerability, her beauty, and her silence. She becomes her protector, fighting off threats and making sure nobody touches her. Over time, they form a deep emotional bond that borders on obsession for King - though Nia sees her as a friend, possibly more, in a place where love is survival. When Nia is released early after 5 years, she promises to write. But life moves on. She reinvents herself, gets therapy, becomes a nurse, and even marries a kind man who doesn't know the full truth about her past. Ten years later, King is finally released on parole. She searches for Nia with one purpose: to reclaim what she believes is hers. But when she sees Nia with her husband, the jealousy eats her alive. King makes a deadly choice: she kills the husband in cold blood, thinking she's freeing Nia. Now Nia is caught between the new life she built... and the old protector who never let her go.Completa

Haunted by friendship betrayals and emotionally unavailable love... She chose growth over revenge. She chose herself. This is not just a story. This is a journey- of becoming her.

Vision of Love Book 2 *read book 1 before this* You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. You could say were love struck. feb 2021-mar 2021Completa
When Love Wasn't in My Plan
She promised herself never to fall again-not after the cracks her family left behind and the walls she built to protect her heart. Love was messy, dangerous, and definitely not in her plan. But then came the senior who showered her with attention, making her believe she was seen at last... until she realized she was only chasing an illusion. Just when she thought she was done with love forever, an unexpected presence stepped quietly into her life-a high school senior who had been watching from afar, who reached out not with promises but with comfort. Slowly, her carefully written plan began to blur, and she was forced to face the one thing she feared most: that sometimes, love finds you when you least want it... and when you need it the most.

THE ART OF AK
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." In a world that thrives on conformity, August is an anomaly. Raised in a secretive overbearing family, she was chosen to leave its hidden grounds-not for freedom, but for duty. Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother. A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes. She's nothing like the women he's used to-unbothered by trends, and untouched by the need for validation. The more she resists, the deeper he falls, his infatuation turning into an obsession he can't shake. One he cant let go of. As their worlds collide, the slow burn of their connection threatens to ignite everything August has been taught to suppress. With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real. In a society that demands she fit a mold, August stands in defiance. Unfortunately, love has a way of making even the strongest question their silence.
