What starts as playful attraction turns into something neither can ignore, pulling them closer between flashing cameras and screaming crowds. When an unexpected obstacle threatens both their dreams, Heather and Jason must find out whether a love born in two fast lanes can survive the crash of real life.

Naomi Obasi

Kamora wakes in a strange manor with no memory and one powerful instinct—stay hidden. But when the brooding Lord Maroke sets his gaze on her, instincts blur. He’s cold. Commanding. And oddly familiar. Every glance sparks something neither of them can explain. He should walk away. She should run. But the manor whispers secrets they can’t unhear—and together, they may hold a key to something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous than desire. As shadows close in, truths threaten to shatter them both. But when the past is missing and the heart remembers, how do you know what’s real?

Taylor is determined to make senior year all about her—faster runs, healed heart, no drama. But life clearly didn’t get the memo. When her brother’s best friend, Pierce, and her ex, Niko, both step back into her orbit, Taylor’s plans start spinning. They’re fire and ice, chaos and comfort, temptation and trouble—everything she swore she’d avoid. Yet when they make an offer that turns all her “no’s” into very complicated “maybes,” she begins to wonder if love isn’t about choosing sides but finding balance in the in-between. In this playful, heated, and heart-tugging romance, healing comes with laughter, longing, and a double dose of temptation.

They’ve both lived whole lives since, with scars they can’t hide. But one look, and the years vanish. The connection is still there—familiar, fierce, and impossible to ignore. Now older, braver, and maybe more broken, they face a choice: take the leap and risk the love they never stopped wanting… or protect their hearts before history repeats itself. Fate rarely knocks twice—but when it does, everything changes.

Louise believes in plans, payback, and perfect timing. Love is not on the list. When a forgotten promise resurfaces in the form of Adam, her movie-star ex, Louise decides it’s finally time to even the score.

Louise must decide whether revenge still fits, or if the love that waited patiently all along deserves a rewrite.
