Ashleigh Thomas has just started university - shy, reserved, and quietly trying to find her place in a new world that feels too loud for her spirit. Between long evening classes in Spanish Town, the weight of expectations, and her devotion to God, she's learning that adulthood isn't as simple as she thought.
Then, out of nowhere, a message from her ex-boyfriend, Malchus Taylor, lights up her phone. He's studying architectural engineering at a different university - confident, funny, and everything she's not sure she's ready to deal with again.
As late-night texts turn into laughter, memories resurface, and feelings she thought were gone begin to stir. Torn between fear and faith, Ashleigh must decide whether this rekindled connection is a divine second chance or a distraction sent to test her heart.
"When the Quiet Heart Speaks" is a tender coming-of-age Christian romance about rediscovering yourself, trusting God's timing, and learning that sometimes, the softest voices carry the strongest faith.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 in the New International Version (NIV) reads: "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end

"Listen girl, I am in no mood for this so just move out of my fucking seat."

The Quiet Between Us
While he was gone, she found herself. Essence didn't believe in soft things. Love had always been loud, painful, and temporary. So when Zion - calm, patient, and everything she wasn't used to - showed up in uniform with a quiet kind of peace, she pushed him away. Then he left for deployment. Now, surrounded by base gossip, silence, and everything she never said out loud, Essence is forced to face the one thing that scares her more than falling in love: being loved right. And Zion? He's not sure who he'll be when he comes home - but he knows exactly who he's coming back for. A slow-burn military love story about distance, healing, and the kind of love that waits - even when everything says to let go.Complete

"A Quiet Love" is a story built in silence - in the weight of things left unsaid, and the ache of what could be. It follows two souls whose lives intertwine in quiet moments rather than loud declarations, where every glance, every fleeting touch, and every shared pause carries more meaning than words ever could. Their love is not the kind that demands attention - it simmers beneath the surface, tender and restrained, burning softly even when buried under fear, pride, and circumstance. At its core, A Quiet Love is about yearning - the kind that twists in your chest and lingers long after the moment has passed. Both characters find comfort in one another, yet neither dares to cross the fragile line between friendship and something more. They orbit each other in an endless loop of almosts: almost reaching out, almost confessing, almost choosing love. It's a story about timing that never aligns and emotions that speak louder in silence than in speech. The angst runs deep here - not from betrayal or chaos, but from restraint. It's the heartbreak of wanting someone you can't have, or worse, someone you could have if only you were brave enough to try. Each chapter unravels their quiet devotion and the storm that brews beneath it - the jealousy, the fear of loss, the aching hope that maybe the other feels it too. The tension is constant, delicate, and suffocating in its beauty. As the story unfolds, A Quiet Love becomes a meditation on emotional vulnerability - the courage it takes to love softly in a world that glorifies the loud and the dramatic. It's a portrait of two people who find refuge in one another's presence, even when words fail them. And though their love is quiet, it is anything but small; it's consuming, raw, and real - the kind that leaves you haunted long after the final page.

Untimely Love (Book 3)
♤VOL 1: Book III in the FORBIDDEN series♤ ♠♤ "Have you ever been in love?" I didn't know what to say to that. My skin heated with an embarrassed, uncomfortable blush that even attacked my skull. I should've been more prepared for the question, I guess. Still, it felt like a punch in the gut. Who says I'm not, is what I wanted to say-it's the worse thing I could possibly say. The worst thing to admit to myself now. "By that look," she gestured to my face, sitting back in her chair, "I'd say you have." ♠♤ He hadn't been prepared for the past year. In the beginning, he only saw it as his first and last year of freedom. He dropped out of honors classes and quit the track team to focus on more academic studies and getting into college. A girl hadn't been in his plans. Heartbreak hadn't either. But it happened anyway because life could be a bitch like that. And now he had to start college and a new life with the pain and memories burning in the back of his head and chest for however long it took to be okay after a heart had been broken. He'd been denying the one thing everyone's been throwing at him; 'college will change you'. And now he's seeing that there was a chance he would change. But it wouldn't be because of college. ♠♤ ♤ Sequel to 'Forbidden Attraction' ♤ Will officially start publishing in September 2020
Between Glances
She sees him every day, and each time, her heart races a little faster, hoping for something more than the casual, fleeting glances they exchange. He's charming, quiet, and always so close-within arm's reach, yet always just out of her grasp. Their interactions are brief, often accompanied by a charged silence that neither dares to break. There's an unspoken tension between them, a magnetic pull that neither seems able to resist, but something always keeps them from stepping past that delicate line between familiarity and desire. Whether it's the weight of their unacknowledged feelings or the fear of disrupting the fragile balance they've created, they remain suspended in a world of what-ifs. As their glances linger longer and the silence stretches between them, the question remains: will they find the courage to close the distance, or will they continue dancing around their feelings, too afraid to leap into the unknown?Complete
