"You're just an uptight perfectionist who makes it everyone else's problem when things don't go your way."
"And you're an arrogant child who thinks one successful year gives you even half of the pedigree I worked an entire decade to earn!"

Tennis stopped being fun a long time ago for Roberta "Bunny" Fear.
But without it, she wouldn't be the world number one, a British national treasure, and the most decorated player of her generation.
On the eve of her tenth professional season, Bunny meets Adam, a handsome stranger with honey-coloured eyes, and feels a thrill she hasn't felt since her first grand slam title.
When Adam is revealed to be Adam Fox, tennis's newest rising star, their paths cross more than Bunny originally planned, and she is thrown into an exciting tryst, where she's able to see tennis through the fresh eyes of her lover. This new perspective on the sport she loved causes her to question everything she used to hold dear.
Is it really a fall from grace if love is waiting to catch her?

Whiskey Ridge Hearts
BWWM ROMANCE BOOK The moment Avery James stepped off the Greyhound bus and into Whiskey Ridge, she knew she was in a different world. Dust kicked up from her boots with every step. The air smelled like hay, barbecue, and something else she couldn't place-freedom, maybe. Or regret. All she knew was she didn't belong. Her heels wobbled on the gravel as she pulled her suitcase behind her, already regretting the fashion choice. A few townsfolk gave her polite but curious looks-like they didn't see many Black women around here in tailored city blazers. She clutched the paper in her hand: "Now Hiring - Ranch Hand/Office Help. Must be good with animals. Inquire at Red Oak Ranch. Ask for Colton." She had no clue who Colton was. But she had nowhere else to go.Complete

Green Garden (Amor #1)
{Editing In Progress} Thor Siegmund just wanted a break from the noise of the gala being thrown at his family home. The gardens have always been a place of peace for him. He didn't expect to be interrupted by a wandering guest. He also didn't expect to be so smitten by her. Amara Gawoni was just a plus one to the Siegmund gala. She decided to take a breather and admire the grounds. She didn't know she would come across the noble host' son nor that she would connect with him in a natural way. Literally. A short story about a rugged English aristocrat and beautiful American expatriate that Nature itself brings together for a night and a day. (This story is the product of a writing exercise, a way for me to overcome my block. I didn't expect to create an actual story. I was inspired by Thor/Ororo fanfiction and ABC's Still Star Crossed so Chris Hemsworth and Lashana Lynch served as inspiration for Thor and Amara.) Amor © All Rights ReservedComplete

Something New
A Spinoff From the Grace Series I skim my fingers along my woman's arm as she reclines back, seated in my lap with her back resting against the cushioned arm of the wooden bench we worked on together. I built it and she painted it. And each one of our kids put their handprints on it. My darling sewed cushions to tie on during the warm days so we can sit out here comfortably. Now we enjoy the fruits of our labor together. And I'm speaking about the couch and our marriage. "How did we start?" she asks languidly, her eyes shut. Her coily hair frames her face in the afro she has it in. She's dolled up a bit with her dress and earrings. She's got nowhere to go, but she does it to feel perked up for the day. I'm fine with that, but she knows I'm just as fine if she's wearing one of those old nightgowns she has, or in her birthday suit. "You were always passing me by," I hold Kemi's hand and with my other one, I use my finger to trace her facial features. I love every one of them. I gently go over her brows then go to her cheeks that are a lovely rounded shape. I move onto her cheekbones, which sit a bit high. My finger trails down to her jaw and her lips as they curve up in a smile. "But to be fair, I passed you by as well, darlin'." The way we met, and the way we began, is all part of a story that is beyond us and I like to think back on it often. I like to think back on how the Lord made something new out of something broken. ~~~ This technically comes after Grace but can be read alone (and before or after Redemption). As with "Grace", this is an age-gap interracial romance about faith, love, and healing. Forewarning: This story discusses a darker theme that may not be suitable for a younger audience. Although, things are still done in a God-honoring way. Unlike Grace, this story is more of a short story and will likely contain less than 25 chapters. It follows Kemi and Fred, the close friends of Grace and Joe.Complete![BLIND DEVOTION : The Misconceptions of Me | B o o k 1 [EDITING]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/42197364-256-k749112.jpg)
BLIND DEVOTION : The Misconceptions of Me | B o o k 1 [EDITING]
Status: Complete ✔ | Editing process ⏸ Tell me what's the perfect picture of young adults life nowadays. Would you say a countless number of friends? Going to a party every month?

It's going to be a rollercoaster. A discovery of the feeling to love for the first time, and to be loved. An uncommon devotion breaking the stereotypes. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it! "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." by Leo Buscaglia This is going to be a long journey, be prepared!
