"She escaped the life she had to find the life she needed…
How much of our fate is circumstance?
Noor's life path has always been potholed with obstacles. But she is a survivor, an adapter… a proud wanderer.
Still, the deep yearning for more kept her motivated to conquer every hindrance because there had to be more waiting—somewhere.
Hitchhiking her way to a new coast, she lands at the feet of money, prestige, and a soul-touching love, all at the doing of a chance job opportunity. But it doesn't mean all even terrain, and her past has a problem letting go.
Still, Noor is convinced destiny has brought her to the life she deserves. She won't allow the girl she was to stop her from becoming the woman she needs to be.
Rules don't apply, and she's tired of letting life happen to her. She's determined to finally get everything she's ever wanted. Everything she's ever needed.
Noor's story continues in Needful Noor: Part Two."
"Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt?
I have.
Have you ever cherished the pain because you knew the kind you'd face without them would be way too unbearable?
That's me.
To young Neeka Perry, Denny is one thing. In the streets, he's a whole other entity. She was brave enough to love both sides, upside down, all around, and back again.
He provided her with all a girl could believe she dreamed of—security, desire, and, most enviably, genuine love, all wrapped up in gold and diamonds.
He removed her far from the course of her ordinary college girl lifestyle and swept her into his world of whimsical madness.
For this and more, her love went beyond loyalty. She was devout… devout to him.
But is there such a thing as too much passion? Can you love someone too much?
And when you realize the person you love, and the person everyone fears, can also be the one everyone loves, and you can one day soon fear, who will save you?
Especially when the person you need saving from is yourself?
Stop right there. I don't want to be saved.
I've shackled myself to him with love. And I swallowed the key.
I'm in this for the long run.
I am devout."

Tragedy flips Amore Brown's world on its axis right before she heads off to college. Having to sit tight for the summer, she chooses Jersey City, New Jersey—the home of her estranged father—to pass the time.

But it could never be that simple, even if it were all so simple then....
How much will Amore have to lose in order to find herself? On the road to the woman she is becoming and removed from the girl she is no more, one stop changes her path forever.
'Girls just want to have fun' transforms into the kindling of summer romance tucked into the crust of good times, tribulations, close calls, and one hot summer in Jersey. Amore meets THE guy, finds solace, heals fresh wounds, and battles the thorny relationship with her father, all while learning that heartache has no limits."
