Temporary [BOOK 1]

Naomi Bennett was only nineteen when she packed her bags and left Jamaica behind. Tired of the constant fighting, manipulation, and pain caused by her toxic family, she moved to Florida hoping for the fresh start she had always dreamed of.

Now, she's working as a lash technician, struggling to build a business and make enough money to survive in a country that still doesn't feel like home. With only a few friends and a heart guarded by years of disappointment, Naomi is determined to prove she doesn't need anyone.

But everything changes when her best friend, Tiana, convinces her to attend a party one Friday night. What was supposed to be a fun escape turns into something much more when Naomi catches the attention of a mysterious stranger whose life is far more complicated than it seems.

As feelings grow, secrets surface, and Naomi finds herself caught between the life she's trying to build and the past she thought she had left behind. She'll soon learn that sometimes running away isn't enough-and that healing can come from the most unexpected places
