Bentley didn’t come to Hardwood High to fall in love.
She came to prove something—to herself, to the people who doubted her, and maybe even to the chickens named after Destiny’s Child living in her backyard. Her plan was simple: survive her first year teaching English, build a community in her classroom, and absolutely not get distracted by anyone with a killer smile and thighs that make her rethink her professional goals.
But then there’s Priest.
DeAnthony Priest, the intense, focused assistant basketball coach with a body built like a problem and a heart he swears is off-limits. He’s done the casual thing, the serious thing, and the heartbreak thing—and getting involved with the bright-eyed new teacher next door is definitely not part of his game plan.
They both know better.
But between after-school drinks, stolen hallway glances, and one dangerously closed classroom door, the line between coworkers and something more starts to blur. And when a talented student with everything riding on basketball connects them in unexpected ways, their emotional guardrails start to crack.
She’s trying to find her place. He’s trying not to lose control.
Neither of them expected their biggest challenge this school year would be each other.

Until The Light Finds Us by Dahlia Rae
A lifetime lived in quiet devotion. A love nearly lost to time.
Eighty-five-year-old Cedric Hayward sits alone in a quiet diner, waiting to visit the man he loved mostly in secret for nearly six decades. Lance Rhodes—once bold, beautiful, and sharp as a switchblade—no longer remembers their life together. But Cedric does. And today, as he waits, he begins to tell his story.
From the early 1960s to the present, Until the Light Finds Us unfolds in vivid glimpses: two young men from different worlds, bound by a love forbidden on multiple fronts. In a time when even being seen together could spark suspicion, they found fleeting joy behind carefully drawn curtains.
Through war, protest, profound loss, and the quiet revolution of chosen family, Cedric traces the decades they spent building a life in the shadows—always one heartbeat away from being exposed. And now, with memory slipping away, he holds onto the hope that even the softest truths can still be found.
Until the Light Finds Us is a sweeping, intimate novel about queer resilience, the weight of silence, and a love that dared to survive in a world that never made room for it.
Creative Differences (Porter Brothers Series Book 1) by DH Renfroe
Mackenzie Levi Smith is New York’s most in-demand celebrity photographer—booked, blessed, and (allegedly) blissfully single. With her sharp eye, sharper tongue, and a schedule packed tighter than a backstage fashion show, Mackenzie has no time for distractions. She’s laser-focused on building Divine Expressions, the photography studio she co-owns with her best friend Nina. Mackenzie’s work is raw, powerful, and deeply intentional. She captures not just beauty, but truth—and her clients line up for a chance to be seen through her lens. The last thing she needs? A brooding artist with a god complex and a chip on his shoulder.
Enter Jackson Porter—world-renowned painter, gallery heartthrob, and the textbook definition of “difficult genius.” With a paintbrush in one hand and his late mother’s artistic legacy on his back, Jackson has zero interest in photographers who treat art like marketing. When he’s paired with Mackenzie for the exclusive Visionaries exhibit, sparks fly—and not the romantic kind. They clash from the first moment: over lighting, composition, and whether photographers can even be called artists. Their creative differences? Explosive. Their banter? Biting. But the simmering tension? Oh, it’s undeniable.
As they’re forced into joint panels, late-night studio sessions, and surprise press appearances, their friction ignites into something far steamier than either of them anticipated. From charged arguments to impulsive kisses in gallery back rooms, Mackenzie and Jackson can’t seem to stay away from each other—or keep their hands to themselves. But under all the snark and stolen glances lies something deeper: shared grief, hidden fears, and an unspoken longing to be seen not just as artists, but as people.
As the exhibit deadline looms, so do their feelings. Jackson begins to paint Mackenzie not as a muse, but as a mirror—his equal, his match, his inspiration. Mackenzie, in turn, uses her camera to document their chaotic, tender journey. But just when they seem to be finding their rhythm, a ghost from Jackson’s past threatens to unravel everything, forcing Mackenzie to confront her own fears about trust and love. For two artists used to telling other people’s stories, facing their own truth might be the hardest thing they’ve ever done.
But when the gallery doors open and the world sees what they’ve created—side by side, in sync, in love—it becomes clear: the mess, the conflict, the creative tension between them wasn’t a barrier. It was the masterpiece.
What began as an assignment becomes a revelation. And in a world that often demands perfection, Mackenzie and Jackson learn that imperfection—raw, honest, vulnerable—is where the real magic lives.
Cue the sold-out show. Cue the final kiss. Cue two artists falling headfirst into love, legacy, and the beautiful chaos of creating something unforgettable—together.

If she marries him, she gets an all-expenses-paid opportunity to study for her master’s degree in England, which will set her and her family up for a better life.
A marriage of convenience, on paper, shouldn’t be hard. But real-life is another matter, when your spouse gets under your skin and in your blood.
Suddenly, the opposition is neither on the pitch nor on the sidelines. It’s in their hearts as passion and feelings get involved.
This is supposed to be play-acting for a few years, and the first rule is not to succumb. What happens when off-side is now on-side, and pretend starts to look too real?

After a painful divorce and a tumultuous “situationship” with the charismatic but emotionally unavailable Ian, Milly has embraced her “selfish season,” prioritizing her thriving sewing business, Milly’s Makes, and her hard-won independence, guided by her no-nonsense therapist, Dr. Morrison, and her brutally honest best friend, Dez.
But when a chance encounter at the Atlanta Jazz Festival leads her to Felix, she’s tempted to open her heart again. He’s tall, handsome, and the sex is undeniably off-the-charts—everything her body craves. Yet, he’s also everything her therapist warned her about: a man with a complicated life and a past that could easily derail Milly’s newfound peace. Despite her initial reservations and Dez’s pointed warnings, Milly finds herself drawn into Felix’s genuine warmth and desire for connection.
The story explores whether Milly can truly break free from old patterns and what it means to build a partnership rooted in honesty and mutual respect. Can Milly and Felix love each other without repeating the trauma cycles they’re both trying to escape? Will the challenges of Felix’s life prove too much for Milly’s “selfish season,” or can she find a way to integrate love without sacrificing her hard-won independence?

With the surprising help of an up-and-coming journalist and a legendary R & B diva, Dawn will finally set the record straight. Returning home might just be the biggest story in Dawn’s life, a fresh start—and happy ending—she never expected.
A Honey for the Beekeeper: Romance Blooms on the Bee Farm (Bishop Honey Bee Farm Book 1) by Nina Crespo
She never stayed in one place for long…
Until she felt the sweet sting of love.
Brooke Bishop thrives on adventure, from skiing slopes to sailing yachts—anything to avoid her family’s bee farm. But when Brooke and her estranged sister inherit the farm, she’s stuck there until her sister can buy her out. And then Brooke meets country singer Gable Kincaid—and she finds herself wondering if wanderlust is a bit overrated…
Seeking refuge from fame and a painful past, Gable finds Brooke is just the balm he needs. As their budding attraction blossoms, the music industry he’s trying to avoid threatens to reclaim Gable. And Brooke would rather head out of town than feel the sting of that loss. As they’re pulled down separate paths, will Brooke and Gable discover that, sometimes, home is a place found in each other?

They say you never forget your first flame. Ay’Ja thought she buried hers a long time ago.
Back in town and fresh out of reasons to stay away, Smoke isn’t the same boy who left Texas without saying goodbye. He’s grown now, quiet, steady, and dangerous in all the ways Ay’Ja swore she didn’t need. Especially not with Reece, her college sweetheart, trying to build a picture-perfect future.

Because where there’s smoke…
There’s always something worth setting fire to.
