Ayanna Brooks been the responsible one her whole life. While her siblings chased the streets, she was clockin' double shifts, raisin' her little brother, and keepin' the lights on. When her mama's accident hit, Ayanna packed her dreams away-two years gone, survival on repeat. The "perfect daughter." The one who don't mess up. But now? It's finally her turn. First in her family to leave Atlanta, she steps onto Xavier University's campus with a scholarship, a suitcase, and a plan: law school dreams, no distractions, no slip-ups.

Kahlil Carter. Frat boy. Legacy money. Smooth enough to make the Yard freeze mid-step. When his eyes find hers? Ayanna feels something she didn't even know she was missing-seen, wanted, alive. But his world-fast parties, secrets, that kind of dangerous pleasure-burns quick. One wrong step, and Ayanna could lose more than her focus. Still, Ayanna's not that girl. She's never been in love. Never let anybody touch her body like that. And she ain't about to hand herself over easy. But the pull between them? It's slow burn. Messy. The kind of heat that only gets louder the more she tries to ignore it. In the middle of all that chaos, there's one place that feels like hers: the art studio. That elective she thought was just a filler credit? It's the only space where her heart runs free. With a brush in her hand, Ayanna finds a voice she didn't know she had-one that might change everything she thought she wanted. Messy. Funny. Heart-heavy. First Year Blues kicks off The Becoming Series-a Southern college story about family, first love, temptation, and the courage it takes to choose yourself. Because in the N.O.? Everything hits different.

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Complete
