Four African-American witches on the run from a Warlock detective, a jilted lover, and a ridiculous super clingy cat named Mister Purr.
                                                    ***

It's Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans, and instead of celebrating with deep-fried beignets and dancing, Yanni finds herself in a dark alley with her three 'sisters'-staring down at a lifeless body. Shocked and scared, they realize something's off about this death. The body is twisted in a way that's not normal, and Yanni can't shake the feeling that dark magic is involved.

With one sister panicking, another making sarcastic comments, and the eldest sister, Aunt BeeBee, trying to stay calm, Yanni's life takes a turn she never expected. The dead man's identity remains a mystery, and the sisters know one thing for sure: they can't let anyone find out. The four of them are witches, each representing one of the four elements, bound by magic and a sisterhood. But when it comes to covering up a murder, will they stick together or fall apart?

Yanni's got a big decision to make. Will she go along with Aunt BeeBee's plan to cover it up, or will she risk everything to do what's right? With Mardi Gras chaos swirling around them, the sisters' bond is tested as they navigate dark magic, secrets, and their own fears. One thing's for sure-nothing in New Orleans will ever be the same.

"From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0

STONE'S DIARY

9 years after the wedding, things weren't so bad for the Stone family, but it also wasn't peaches and rainbows either. A lot has changed over the years, some that could've been controlled and other's not so much. Life has always been pretty easy for the almost 18-year-old Reign Stone. With her twin, Kaari constantly by her side and always wanting to be the Pam to her Gina, Reign was wondering how life would be outside of her best friend. Their birthday was slowly approaching which meant a lot of changes for the two but mostly Reign. She wanted to find herself outside of her twin but that would be hard to do especially with the way their father and uncles raised them.

Ava Amari Stone; 12 going on 13 and the most talented little firecracker ever. Dance, art, fashion, makeup, and cooking were just some of her hidden gems, but she had a thing for building any and everything from scratch; a habit she's developed from her father. She wasn't your ordinary teenager, she enjoyed animé, crime shows, mystery movies, and even corny romantic comedies but her specialty was Kairo. Her right-hand man, her best friend, and second set of ears. They were like two peas in a pod but reminded Renae so much of her and Dajon.

With growth comes trials and with trials comes blessings, not everyone is meant to tag along when you make it. Sometimes you outgrow or have to let them go, but through the younger Stones eyes, take a look at just how different things were back when their parents were in the game to now...

"Can I give you a hug?" Is it possible to want and not want something at the same time? "Please?" he insists and I nod. He approaches me and my breathing becomes irregular, our bodies are too close. He doesn't hug me. Instead, his hands touch mine, brushing my skin. My fingers caress his. His head comes closer to me and rubs his nose gently on my neck, making me shiver. I hear him inhale, and I close my eyes. I can feel his warm breath on my skin and I'm already on fire.

"You realize that I've never wanted anything so much in my life." I feel his lips brush my neck and go up to my ear. I sigh.

"Peter ..." I manage to say.

"Don't do that. Don't moan my name like that or I won't be able to pull away," he whispers in my ear and then he gently bites it. My hands squeeze his.

He's  My Secret       (edited-ish)

He kept on staring at me but I ignored him, at least I tried to. He was sitting right beside me and although I was looking at the board I still could glimpse his form facing me, he seemed to be looking at my lips.

I wasn't able to take it any more. I slowly turned to him, he was indeed staring at my lips.

"What??" I ask feeling self cautious as I fought the thought of wiping off my mouth.

He slowly licked his lips and said, " nothing" as he shook his head " your lips ... they just look so kissable" he added slowly and calmly after a while causing my heart to overreact, my eyes went wide and my mouth to turn into a forbidden smile.

"What?" I asked as I tried to give him a weird look but I couldn't stop smiling, the forbidden smile seemed to be taking over my entire face, slowly but surely.

In the streets of Atlanta, power ain't just inherited-it's built.

Demetrius Flenory Jr. came to the city with a mission. On paper, Paradise is just another luxury strip club-another flex, another revenue stream. But behind the velvet ropes and champagne showers? It's surveillance. Strategy. A calculated move to watch King, the man who's quietly threatening his family's legacy from the other side of the street.

But business gets complicated when love slides in the mix. Enter Sanai-a former dancer turned headliner/boss in her own right. Beautiful, sharp, and dangerous in heels, Sanai isn't just the face of Paradise...she's the foundation. What started as a partnership quickly turns into something deeper, something neither of them were prepared for. Because in a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal comes dressed as opportunity, love might be the riskiest investment of all.

While Demetrius plays a long game of power, trust, and deception with King and his crew, he's also fighting to protect what's his-Sanai, his business, and the empire they're building together. But when old enemies resurface, family ties get tested, and secrets start stacking higher than the money, the line between love and war gets dangerously blurred.

In this city, everybody's chasing something...money, power, revenge-or affection.
The question is...who's gonna survive it?

Soft For Him

Amira Simone Carter got straight A's, clean edges, and zero time for boys. She's focused-AP classes, cheer captain, two best friends, and a heart she keeps locked up tight. After being burned one too many times by childish games and fake flings, she swore she'd never fall for the type to come in smooth talkin' and leave her lookin' dumb.

Then Keon Malachi Rivers transfers in.

He got a smile that disarms, eyes that see right through her, and patience for days. He ain't like the others-and he's determined to prove it.

But trust don't come easy, and neither does love when your walls are high and your past still lingers.

All it takes is one group hang, one walk home, one little brother who likes him a little too much... and Amira might just find herself doing the one thing she promised she never would:

Getting soft for him.

Almost Got Away With It (COMPLETED)

Her hands shook violently as she dialed the 7 digits to call her big brother. Her heart was beating so loud, and fast in her mind. She was shaking nervously as she put the phone to her ear. She did a silent prayer hoping he would pick up. She was lucky he even picked up at 2 in the morning.

"Hello?" his deep voice flowed through the phone. "Kianna?" he asked a little worried.

"I-I killed him." she forced out as she cried out loud. "I killed him, Leon. I-I d-didn't mean t-to!" she cried louder.

That night changed her life forever.

Just for This Year

Lila and Sam. Sam and Lila.

Ever since the Alvarez twins were born, that's how it always was. It was always Lila and Sam. Always Sam and Lila.

Lila wants to enjoy her senior year, she wants no pressure. Sure, she might regret quitting the soccer team, but she wants no more responsibilities. Those plans are quickly ruined when the kicker of their school's football team is out with an injury. They need someone to replace him, and they turn to the retired soccer star. And much to Sam's dismay, football captain Ashton Westbrook is tasked with getting her ready for the season. But it's fine, it's just for this year.

And as for Sam? Well, he catches the eye of nearly every person in their year. But unfortunately for Lila, the only person he really wants is their mutual best friend, Charlie Graham. But she's deemed him strictly off limits to preserve the trio's friendship. She'll just have to deal though, considering he's the only one who Sam hasn't been able to push away yet. And when Sam joins the school play to be closer with Charlie, he has no choice but to see him everyday. His sister will be fine- if she ever finds out, that is. And she's too caught up in her own lies to even notice. Besides, it's just for this year.

As the twins life gets more and more separate and convoluted, they might find their likelihood for self-sabotage increase with each day of their senior year. But at least it's just for this year... right?

Trapped in a small town, my life has been planned, controlled, and boring. After my sister and I failed to keep our family's bakery afloat, I'm free to steer my life's ship...Except I don't know what I want and have no idea how to adult.

A year of sleeping on my sister's boyfriend's couch and getting bitten by kids while cleaning their teeth is not living.

Only Twelve

"Amelia, why do you even want to become friends with this guy so badly?"
"Because he's Easton Foster."
"He won't become friends with you because you're only twelve years old; I probably wouldn't even be friends with you if I wasn't the same age."
"I know."

Amelia Nelson is anything but your average 12-year-old. Skipping two grades and entering high school as a freshman, she has always been laser-focused on her academics. Her goal? Achieve straight "A"s, impress her teachers, get accepted into Harvard, become valedictorian.

But when she makes a promise over the summer to stay focused on her studies throughout high school, she doesn't anticipate one thing: Easton Foster. A popular 16-year-old football player in his sophomore year with a carefree attitude and a killer sense of humor, Easton is the last person she should want to become friends with. She knows that football players like him typically do not become friends with marching band members like her. She also knows that the age gap between her and Easton would prevent a friendship between them.

As Amelia's interactions with Easton deepen, she finds herself torn. She can't shake the desire to be friends with him, but the more time she spends thinking about him, the more she wonders if it's worth breaking the promise she made to herself. Will she stay true to her academic goals, or is there something to be gained from pursuing a friendship with someone who seems so different from her?

Amelia faces the ultimate dilemma: What's more important-the future she's planned, or the unexpected connections that could change everything?

20-year-old Assyria Adina Stone yearned for peace but favored excitement. She was in a lane of her own. Discovering herself. Physically, she was on earth, but mentally, she was living through her own fantasy. She was a young woman and wanted to explore the many heavenly virtues the world had to offer, even if that meant shaking a few tables here and there; she wanted to live. But in living, she was a lost soul and lost souls often don't realize the dangers in front of them until it's too late.

Soon to be 25, Ava Amari Stone found a love like no other but the journey wasn't easy. She was no longer a registered nurse, but a full-time businesswoman, who took the fashion industry by storm and was sure to leave no crumbs or room for mistakes, or sticky fingers.  She was still trying to understand things in her relationship and sort out a few kinks. Nothing was ever perfect and all that was sweet eventually lost its flavor.

Could these Stones handle anything thrown their way or will they fold under pressure? When it's all said and done, how deep is too deep? And when is enough, enough?

Sequel to Down For You!

This is resuming the life of Marcus and Aris who met each other on a write a inmate website. And this is part two on the story of their life!


On a Loop

25 year old Lauren can:
Make a song hit over 250,000 streams.
Keep a man hooked in the bedroom.

25 year old Lauren cannot (is yet to):
Make a hit record.
Keep a man. Period.

From dick appointments to office flings, sex was as simple as an 808 to Lauren. As if her twenty-somethings weren't complex enough, relationships were a constant struggle. Like songs, they required an order of events and structure, but Lauren was keen on leading her lovers straight to where most relationships climax. Take Trent, her co-worker for instance.

TRENT
Status: Flirty Friend. Music compatibility: 95%.
Hookup-ability: 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆
A day after her steamy, backseat hookup, the promise of her first real relationship since college appears on the horizon, but is Lauren patient enough to wait for it? When a mystery guy keeps popping up in her life, Lauren is not so sure.

SUPER FIIINE MYSTERY MAN:
Status: Romantic Stranger. Music compatibility: Shows promise. Hookup-ability: BD* (*Being determined; get your mind out of the gutter)
After meeting him on more than one occasion, Lauren sees his potential. She doesn't let the cat out of the bag on their first date and he seems to be everything Lauren had been looking for and more, but is he worth the risk?

Lauren is straddling the lines of a love triangle. The power of her P may not be enough to sway either of these men to stay and sweating her edges out behind revolving bedroom doors has unfurled more than baby hairs when her friendships and performance at work begin to slip like a glue-less wig. Lauren is stuck on a loop of bad behaviour and needs to hit pause before her entire life spins out of control.

Childhood Friends To Lovers To Enemies

Leilani and Nahmir were supposed to be forever. Childhood friends turned first loves at sixteen - until a messy breakup and his betrayal tore them apart. The love they had turned into hate real quick, and after that, they stayed out of each other's lives like it never happened.

Until four years later.
One drunken night.
One stupid mistake.
One baby they never planned for.

Leilani didn't tell Nahmir about their daughter. She figured it was better that way - easier to raise her little girl without the drama, without reopening old wounds. But fate had other plans. At her older brother's wedding, Nahmir walks back into her life... and comes face to face with the daughter he never knew existed.

Old feelings. Old grudges. New secrets.
Now they're standing on opposite sides of everything they once built, forced to figure out if they're still enemies... or something way more dangerous.

BAYOU

Angel Morenos doesn't expect much once he joins the family business of real estate, other than a large payout. When his father orders him to scope the surroundings of Louisiana, he somehow finds himself in the priesthood (while being the furthest thing from a saint.) But all it takes is one confession from that one woman's deep honeyed voice; her admission of the greatest sin falls on deaf ears because the want building up inside of him is far too loud. Plus, he has a thing for crazy girls.

When she shows up to his place with jambalaya and a terrible attitude, he realizes he might actually hate her. But what is hate if not love in denial...

Julia has always prided herself on her independence, steering clear of serious relationships to avoid losing her sense of self. But when she's asked to help plan her best friend Penny's Christmas Eve wedding, Julia is forced to work with the last person she wants to be around: Kyle. He's arrogant, insufferable, and worst of all, she's convinced he's planning to ruin the wedding out of spite.

Kyle may have left Penny at the altar, but it's her rejection afterward that still stings. What's worse is how quickly she moved on with his brother, Chase. Feeling betrayed, Kyle's only reason for getting involved in their wedding plans is to prove he doesn't care-and maybe to settle a score with Julia, who he blames for pushing Penny into Chase's arms.

I've been waiting for years to tell the truth, the whole story of what happened back then, the story that's been covered up because of it's 'unconventional nature', but my time has finally come..."
