When he's discovered dead the police set their sights on Ashley. After all, she was the last person he threatened.

But when gusts of wind quake their pitiful selves, in form of new opportunities and of course men, Kiki and Nicole wonder why the painter suddenly decided upon subdued tints? ********** Nicole could distinctively make out the intonations of her heartbeat. It was no smooth asphalt, nor was it pleasing. It was entirely the opposite. She imagined a rugged chassis and deep-rooted crevices upon a rocky road. A dangerous road trip. She feared that her heart might give out. Her legs already were a noodly pair, holding onto her dress for support. It was clear that Nicole's mind was a soiled pool of water. It just wasn't functional anymore. Jane Austen would be disappointed, and so would her mother. Nicole was never the forward type of woman. She always thought of herself as demure as a sun's glow right before the full onset of night. Her wanton behavior today was a surprise on her side and she more than willingly blamed it on the cheery night and maybe on the way Wayne's minty breath hit her exposed clavicle like one inclement wind upon feeble branches of a tree.

After the 24-year-old, content creator and influencer Muna Amadi was betrayed by her boyfriend and bestfriend, she decided to move to New York for a change. They say change is good right? But what about the loneliness that comes with it in the first few weeks? That was Muna's life until a gym accident got her falling on Nicklaus Gray, a lawyer, who lives on the floor above hers. But then, her first impression of him, made him her first enemy in the city and their second and third encounters were not so good either. Well, they said first impressions are often entirely wrong, but would that be the case for Nicklaus Gray? Nicklaus Gray's life took a depressing turn after he lost his mother, and was now left with a father he didn't like very much. But with everything happening in his life, all he wanted was to focus on becoming a great lawyer like every member of his family. And the best way to do that was to avoid distractions like falling in love. But when Muna appeared in his life, and they managed to have three different not-so-good encounters in just one day, the curiosity to get to know her sparked in him. There was something about her that made him genuinely smile again. There was something about the way she kept mentioning his name that he loved. There was something about her lips, and he wanted to kiss them. *An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story of two people, who sweat out all their worries at the gym. This book is rated 🔞

They were chosen to become spies. They didn't expect to fall for each other- or become the only ones who could stop a national crisis. When four elite black belt teens-Onyx, Elina, James, and Jacob-receive unexpected invitations to attend FBSA, a secret FBI-run spy academy hidden deep in the mountains, they think it's just the opportunity of a lifetime. With their karate training, sharp instincts, and tight bond, they're ready to take on whatever mission comes their way. But nothing about FBSA is normal. Not the cryptic instructors.

As the academy dives into weapons, combat, and espionage training, students begin to realize that something bigger-and much darker-is happening beneath the surface. A top-level mission has failed. All adult agents have vanished. The missing girl? She's the daughter of the school's headmaster... and she may be the key to a conspiracy that could destroy everything. Now it's up to the students.
