At twenty-eight, Malik Grant leaves Jamaica with nothing but ambition and a belief that he belongs in rooms that were never built for him. Chasing a corporate future in America, Malik learns quickly that success demands sacrifice-sometimes even parts of himself. At twenty-seven, Anya Baptiste has done everything right and still feels lost. A Trinidadian woman with too many talents and no clear direction, she's searching for a career that feels like home instead of obligation. When two island souls meet in Brooklyn, their connection is immediate-but love in your late twenties isn't simple. It comes with deadlines, fear, pride, and the pressure to have life figured out already. Between Islands and Skylines is a slow-burn Caribbean love story about ambition, identity, and choosing love without losing yourself. It explores what it means to build a future while honoring where you come from-and whether two people can grow together when the world keeps pulling them apart.

Y/N L/N was an employee of Playtime Co. she is known for her kind heart and compassionate nature, Y/N had a deep love for helping orphans, which led to her assignment as the clinic nurse at Playcare. However, her position didn't remain stable for long. She was unexpectedly transferred to a different facility-one shrouded in secrecy. The moment she set foot inside, an unsettling sense of familiarity washed over her. Standing before her was a figure from her past. . . . . Harley Sawyer. . . . . . "You're trembling," he murmured, his lips barely grazing my skin. "Tell me, my nurse... is it fear, or something else?" I swallowed hard, my hands pressing against his chest, but he didn't let me go. His grip was firm yet controlled, like a predator toying with its prey. "Doctor, let go," I said, though my voice wavered, lacking the authority I wanted it to have. He chuckled, the sound dark and velvety, laced with something unreadable. "Why would I?" he whispered, his fingers tracing slow, deliberate patterns along my back. "You think I'd just let you walk away right now?" I stiffened at his words. There was something possessive in his tone, something that made my pulse quicken in both fear and something far more dangerous. . . . . In this book I may or may not able to put a proper timeline of the Poppy Playtime but as the story progress to the gameplay. To note here Dr. Harley and Y/n may have met before when the were in college but different course. Also, in this book Elliot Ludwig had fired Sawyer before and this would be the first time that they met and work together. Also I headcannon Dr. Harley Sawyers age around early 30's and Y/n in late 20's I don't own Poppy Playtime and the characters. This belongs to the Mob Entertainment and formerly directed by Isaac Christopherson. I don't pictures and fanarts used in this book. The book cover art isn't mine, it belongs to rightful owners.
