'I never thought I'd get to go to such a beautiful school. It looks like a firetrucking castle!' Lilac thought until her thoughts were rudely interrupted by a very hard yet very warm, bare surface.
'Sorry!' both say simultaneously.

Lilac is nerdy, sweet, and although she doesn't know it she's beautiful. Adjusting to college is hard, especially when you're a black female.  Lilac is faced with loads of schoolwork, a few friends, jealous gardening tools, and men. Who will she choose between someone her own race  and completely different from her or someone with similar interests but completely different ethnicity? Which opposite attracts?

10 parts Ongoing
Life is a complex and diverse phenomenon that encompasses the existence of living beings on earth. You can either hate life or love it. There's no in between. Willow Romano on the other hand loves it. She has the perfect life. Not once in her life did she have to lift a finger to do any kind of work. Coming from a wealthy family meant that she was born into a life of privilege and luxury. She had access to the best education, traveled around the world in private jets, attended extravagant parties, and never faced any financial struggles. Despite all these material comforts and societal privileges, Willow Romano found herself yearning for something more meaningful in life. Deep down inside she felt a sense of emptiness that no amount of wealth or extravagance could fill. She needed something or more so, someone. Harper Sánchez has her moments where she enjoys life but she also hates it. Having such a high profile job makes her feel like she's constantly under scrutiny and pressure. The demands of her career often leave her feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, despite the occasional moments of enjoyment that come with success. Harper struggles to find a balance between work and personal life, as the responsibilities of her job consume much of her time and energy. While she appreciates the opportunities that come with having a high-profile position, such as financial stability and professional recognition, Harper also grapples with feelings of isolation and burnout. The constant need to perform at a certain level takes its toll on her mental health, leading to periods where she questions if it's all worth it.

"Sex?" He chuckled, shaking his head "does it look like I have trouble getting laid? No not sex. To marry me, purely for appearances of course" A blank stare flashed across my face, "I'm sorry, what?" ••• It's a classic tale with a whole new twist. He's the boy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and she's the girl who doesn't put up with anyone's shit. So naturally, he wants the one thing he can't have, her. Lennox is an aspiring oncologist by day, and a freelance escort by night. Medical school is expensive, and as a young woman in her prime she would be garnering her fair-share of one night stands anyways. Might as well turn a profit. Beckham, your typical reckless trust-fund baby. A playboy, a hothead, an all-around hot mess. He needs to grow up, or he risks losing everything. As the heir to an internationally acclaimed company marrying a doctor would be the perfect way to bring legitimacy not only to his reputation but his secure his place as CEO. There's a thousand reasons it could all go wrong, but what if by some strange stroke of luck... It all goes right?
