Escaping the Friend Zone (Independent Woman in Love, Book 2) by J.C. Boddington
Valentina Richards’ sexual escapades are the stuff of legends. As a young woman in her early 20s, who is confident in her sexuality and unafraid of taking risks with her heart, she believes that she’s living life to the fullest, the only way she knows how. Parents would say that she’s a bad girl who their children should steer clear of, but what do they know? Unlike others, Val isn’t sitting around judging people like her who choose to live their lives with passion; she’s too busy taking chances and forming strong connections in the real world.
When Val takes the biggest risk of all and gives in to her undeniable attraction to Mandy, her best friend, she finds out that there’s more at stake than she anticipated. Mandy is a breath of fresh air, tender-hearted and open-minded. She also happens to be the person that Val adores most in the world.
By admitting to her attraction for Mandy, Val realises that she’d be putting their friendship on the line. Can she and her best friend come out of it unscathed, closer than ever? Or will there be consequences? There’s also the small matter of Val still being somewhat entangled with Mr Hall, none other than Mandy’s father…
All the Little Things by B. Hollidae
After being homeless for three years, nineteen-year-old Rafael Ortiz takes up his sister’s offer to live with her in Atlanta and Akilah, his new hot mouthed classmate with an answer to everything, inserts herself into his life despite his protests.
He’s suspicious of her first. No one has ever cared about him unless he could give them something in return. Then terrified. He may be seven-hundred miles away from Miami, but it’ll never be far enough from the stepdad that raped him and left him with two ways out as a kid. Running or killing himself. Some days, Rafael still thinks it might be easier to do the latter. For her own sake, he should keep Akilah at a distance.
Rafael falls for her anyway.
Then his stepdad shows up in Atlanta and the man still wants to have sex with him and sabotage everything good Rafael has going for him.
He could run again—but that would mean breaking Akilah’s heart and leaving his future with her behind. Killing himself still means more or less the same thing. But at least then Akilah could move on with her life.
His last option—one he never considered—is to reveal what his stepdad did to him. Otherwise his stepdad will sabotage his relationship with Akilah and the future Rafael thought was just in his grasp. He might just kill himself anyway if that happens.

Michelle
I was told that lust was a deadly sin.
His name was Carl Owens.
The star quarterback in Stowe Peak’s High School was so out of my league until I tripped in the hall. When he came to my rescue everything changed.
I knew that lechery was a deadly sin, but his touch wiped away all my fears.
We got to know each other in so many different ways.
It didn’t feel wrong to be in love.
There’s nothing bad about two people expressing how they feel.
I had been taught by the church to be a good girl, and to steer clear of sin but the temptation was too much.
Carl
Her name was Michelle Nelson.
She was the untouched cherry that everyone wanted to pick. She turned from a bud to a beautiful flower over one summer and that’s when I noticed her.
All the boys wanted her body, but she seemed to give me the first pick as I helped her pick up her books that day. A conversation turned to a date, which resulted in me tasting her sweet body. She came to my games, watched me practice and made me realize that there was more to life then just football. I saw things in a totally different light.
