When Opposites Attract

Zariah Alani Taylor doesn't fall for chaos.

She plans. She builds. She believes in the kind of love that feels safe.

Nyla Kalani Washington is anything but safe.

Tattooed. Guarded. Impossible to read. Nyla doesn't do attachments, doesn't make promises, and definitely doesn't let anyone close enough to matter.

So when their worlds collide at Temple University, it isn't sweet.

It's tension.
It's resistance.
It's eye contact that lasts too long and arguments that feel too personal.

Zariah wants honesty.
Nyla survives on silence.

And the closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes - because Nyla is hiding something. Something that could shatter the fragile connection forming between them.

Loving Nyla was never part of Zariah's plan.

But some people don't enter your life to fit into it.

They enter to change it.

This is a slow-burn college romance about:
• Opposites who can't stay away
• Secrets that refuse to stay buried
• Pride vs vulnerability
• The kind of love that feels inevitable even when it hurts

Because sometimes the person who protects their heart the hardest...
is the one who needs love the most.

And sometimes walking away is easier than staying.

The question is who will break first?
