Ajah has always been a headstrong woman, her focus locked on her goals.
Boys? She couldn't care less.
When it comes to relationships, she's always been reserved. Most would say shes even inexperienced.
But when her former best friend Amir unexpectedly comes back into her life during Spring Break, everything shifts. Their connection falls back into place effortlessly, almost like no time has passed... except now, it feels different.
Despite her best efforts to ignore the tension simmering between them, Ajah finds herself drawn to Amir in ways she can't explain, craving his presence, his touch, and the sense of safety he's always brought her.
As old feelings resurface and lines begin to blur, Ajah must face the truth she's been running from:
Is this just a reunion between friends, or the beginning of something far more complicated...and impossible to walk away from?

SAINT'S OBSESSION: | HOOD ROMANCE 18+ ✔️

Forever Moore
🐎 "I'm done runnin'." His jaw ticked, his fingers tightening around the rope in his hands. "You sure?" His voice was rough, like he was holding himself back. Jamila nodded. Slow. Certain. "I want this," she whispered. "I want you." ____________________________________ Jamila DuBois never planned on falling for her best friend's older brother, but coming home to Aurora Valley changes everything. Donovan Moore-the rugged, charming cowboy she's spent years trying to ignore-is suddenly looking at her like she's the only woman in the world. What starts as undeniable tension turns into late-night confessions, heated dances under the Texas stars, and stolen moments that leave them both breathless. But with family ties, past heartbreaks, and the weight of unspoken feelings between them, crossing that line could change everything. Set against the backdrop of horseback rides, wild trail ride parties, and Zydeco-fueled nights, Forever Moore is a steamy, slow-burn Black country romance about love, loyalty, and risking it all for the one who's always been right in front of you.

Zariah Hart's been quiet since the night she lost everything, and moving to The Palisade at Skyview Apartments was supposed to give her a fresh start. No expectations. No questions. Just peace. But peace gets complicated when a man like Omarion Jordan starts showing up in it. He's nothing like she expected. Tatted, quiet, with eyes that read people better than they speak. A mechanic with a past he doesn't explain-and a presence that says more than his mouth does. He doesn't ask about her silence. She doesn't flinch at his reputation. Somehow, that's enough. What starts as simple glances turns into shared space. What feels like comfort turns to something neither of them planned for. But Atlanta doesn't forget what people try to bury. And sometimes, the loudest truth is the one you never say out loud. 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓
