"Sometimes you run into the right person at the wrong time, and things don't always turn out how there expected to be. There may be love but love doesn't over power the act of negativity"
22-year-old Carina Thompson lives a carefree L.A. lifestyle, yet beneath the surface, she struggles with the same confusion many young people face-wounds from childhood, uncertainty about her future, and untapped potential. Young, broken, and talented, she drifts through life, letting it take her wherever it may.
Growing up with a high-class father meant living a high-class lifestyle, but everything changes when she crosses paths with Quincy Alsina, a 22-year-old Louisiana native from the streets. He's the opposite of her in many ways-yet eerily similar to the men in her family. Their friendship quickly turns into something deeper, but their relationship is plagued with issues. The real problem? Neither of them understands that communication and listening are the keys to a healthy relationship. And if it's not healthy... isn't it just a waste of time?
Can a honeymoon stage ever last forever? Will you ask me to marry you? Was this all a game or are we really in love?

Entangled(COMPLETED)
Quinn Matthews is a whole vibe-a certified boss in the operating room and a straight-up genius. She graduated college early, became a surgeon before most people even figured out their majors, and now she's making six figures, saving lives, and getting respect in the medical field. Raised in the heart of the projects, Quinn's the real definition of "came from nothing, made it to something." She's got the house, the car, the career, the whole package. But when it comes to men? That's where things get... complicated. No matter how high she rises, Quinn can't seem to shake her love for hood boys. The same type of dudes who bring drama, lies, and nothing but trouble into her life. They've got the charm, the swagger, and that street energy that pulls Quinn back every time. She knows they're no good for her, but the chemistry? The thrill? The kind of love she grew up on? That's something she can't walk away from. At 25, Indigo's life is nothing like Quinn's. Once the prince of the streets, he's been on a downward spiral since the Blackwell family took over the game, wiping out his family's empire and leaving him broke. The Mitchells and the Blackwells have been at war for generations, their feud fueled by their fathers' gang rivalry. When the Blackwells came out on top, Indigo lost everything-money, respect, and, worst of all, his parents, whose deaths he blames on the Blackwell patriarch. His hatred for the Blackwells is personal, and he's vowed never to let it go. But just when Indigo thinks life can't hit him harder, he discovers his little sister, Nyla, is dating a Blackwell- a Mitchell family enemy through and through. The betrayal cuts deep, and Indigo's world spins out of control. Torn between his loyalty to his family, his grudge against the Blackwells, and his chaotic relationship with Quinn, Indigo finds himself drowning in secrets, lies, and the ghosts of his past.Complete
