They say the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice, but for Tierra Greene that's the furthest thing from the truth. Growing up with a notion that "light skin's the right skin," Tierra's always felt unlovable courtesy of her ebony-hued skin tone. The epitome of the "black sheep," she's lived a life of coming in second to her "light bright" twin sister, Kierra. Although she's got the love of family, friends, and professional success beyond measure, her life is barren when it comes to love and romance. Just when Tierra's set to give up hope of finding that everlasting love, her prince charming shows up in the most unlikely of men. Will she throw caution to the wind and drown her prince in her sea of dark chocolate, or will she ignore her heart for fear of what others may say?
Richard Harris is young, bright, ambitious, and eager to dive head first into enjoying life away from home. Though at first glance he appears "wet behind the ears," Ricky is all man and more than capable of chasing the woman of his dreams-no matter what or who may try to stand in his way. Despite his numerous efforts to express his love for her, he can't seem to win that ultimate prize; her heart. But Ricky's far from a quitter, and he won't rest until the woman he loves is his, and his alone.
Will Tierra be able to shed her control-freak ways and go against the norm, or will Ricky crash and burn in his attempt to give her a love that she deserves? Find out in the riveting page-turner.

Paper hearts and Wars
Premise: At Blackwood High, the student body is split into factions - not by design, but by legacy. The "Legacy Kids" (children of alumni, rich, influential families) rule the school, while the rest are just... extras. Valencia.R , an emotionally guarded scholarship student with a painful past, is known for her sarcasm, top grades, and utter refusal to bow down to the system. Riaan Valerio, the golden boy of Blackwood - head boy, star athlete, and son of the school's trustee - seems perfect on the outside, but he's been silently crumbling under the weight of expectations. They've hated each other since freshman year. Petty pranks. Savage insults. Public call-outs. Detention partners more times than they can count. But when a school-wide literary competition forces them to co-write a story together - and they have to meet in secret because their rivalry is too public - the lines begin to blur. As they write fiction, their own truths start leaking into the pages. She writes about heartbreak like she's lived it. He edits like he's trying to say something he's never had the courage to speak. Between late-night writing sessions, old wounds reopening, and secrets spilling, they begin to realize: maybe their hate was just a mask for something deeper. Maybe the war zone was the only place they felt alive. But what happens when the story they're writing threatens to expose everything they've both buriedComplete

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.
