They were raised on the same island-but on opposite sides of a line drawn long before they were born.
Liora Jean-Baptiste fights to protect her family's beach, a stretch of sand filled with memories and stories that no developer can buy. Kai Archer is the son of the man trying to build over it-his future already chosen for him.
When they're forced to co-lead their school's Legacy Expedition project, every meeting feels like a storm: too loud, too close, too dangerous. But between shared glances, midnight texts, and the sound of waves that belong to both of them, the line between hate and love begins to blur.
On an island where everyone knows your name-and your family's sins-falling for your enemy isn't just risky.
It's forbidden.
And when the truth surfaces, it might drown them both.
Enemies to lovers. Forbidden love. Island heat. A slow burn worth every scar.

Between Love & Lies
Bria Smith's life collapsed the moment her father died. Her mother married her boss, and just like that, Bria was thrown into a life of privilege she never wanted-and a college she hadn't earned, courtesy of her new stepfather. She planned to keep her head down at Harvard Business University, but fate had other ideas... Elijah Park. Her step-uncle. Her professor. The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about. He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once. And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire. One look and she's undone. One touch and she's his. This isn't just love. It's temptation, secrets, and a choice that could ruin them both. Because some lies keep you safe... and some loves are worth breaking every rule for. ~
