It's challenging to be yourself in a society where being a lesbian is an offense with a fourteen-year prison sentence.

Zara has a secret, and she knows if it comes out - all hell will break loose. To keep her parents from bothering her about getting married, she comes out to them as a lesbian, and all does not go well. 

Yasmin lost her girlfriend to the vicious hands of Nigerians who hate gays, and she has made it her mission to fight for LGBTQ rights. 

The attraction between these two burned like fire, but a lot was against them. Yasmin had her demons to fight and senators to blackmail into passing the LGBTQ bill. Zara had some figuring out to do about her self-confidence.

Falling in love once was a mistake, but would it be fate a second time?

**WARNING**18+ AND THERE WILL BE MANY SEASONS She meets the woman of her dreams...except she was never into women...until now. Love has no boundaries and this dirty lesbian romance proves that. Meet the group, and fall in love with this world of crazy excitement. One step at a time, I walk toward her. "He kissed me, and I kissed him back. But, in my mind, it was not him I was kissing. He tried hard to sleep with me. I pushed back and said no." My hands squeeze my keys to the point that I can feel the pain in my palm, but I ignore it. Shaking my head, I scoff again, growing angry and confused at the same time. I do not know what's happening to me. "I pushed back because all I could think of was you!" I say, wanting to scream at her. "You were the only person on my mind when I was with him. I felt gross and disgusted. But when he kissed me, I saw you and it turned me on. This wave of emotions pushes through me with every press of his lips, because...I saw you in my mind." My face is growing warmer, and I have to force myself to look away. My ears feel like they are on fire. I am grateful and confused at the same time. My mind seems twisted. I do not understand what is happening to me, or why these emotions are running through me. She looks at me like I am the crazy one. Her confused look grows. She steps down the two steps and walks toward me. "You are not lying? You truly left him and came home?" "Yes! Damn it!" My tone is loud and rude. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes. I can feel that wild lust or love or whatever the hell you want to call it. It burns madly through me the closer I get to her. "What did you do to me, Natalia? I have always been able to walk into my house. Tonight, I could not because I was scared to go to my bedroom, because all I could picture was you and me in that damn bed. I'm not supposed to be like this! This is not...damn it!"

A deeply moving love story that will throw you into an emotional roller-coaster of learning the diverse facades of love. "Her presence took hold of every single person inside that room, that kind of power over people was inebriating. She reminded me of a fox looking right at its prey and still, even though the prey knows the intentions of the fox, it cannot help but stop and admire the beauty of the predator until it becomes too late to flee." Remi is a law student and even though she is young and sometimes naïve, she is by no means the kind to play with. Introverted, confused, intelligent beyond her age yet unapplied, she is an inconsistency between trying to be the best she can be and not knowing whether she is making the right choices for herself. Follow Remi as she attempts to navigate unpaved roads: a complicated and tangled connection, the intricacies on stablishing a worthy career, the conciliation of her feelings with her professional priorities, the world of new experiences, and a rocky love story. When all one seeks is that perfect moment, on that perfect spot, with the right person to feel things are finally falling into place. But Remi cannot stand being on the fringes of someone else's life forever. In order to salvage everything, a new perspective is needed to safeguard her heart and shine a light on a complicate relationship. -------- If you are reading this book in any other platform other than Wattpad, you are risking both your device and personal data of virtual attacks such as malware or virus.

****A Wattpad Featured Novel**** • • • (Book one) Many of us, have read lots of books and watched lots of movies, about a boy who dumped his long termed girlfriend just cause he fell in love with a new character. The Right Girl. When we'd realized that he had fallen in love with the main character, we all became happy about the turn of events. Just cause we'd been shipping both of them for a very long time. No one wanted him to be with The Wrong Girl, cause she was either too perfect, had a nasty character or treated everyone like trash. We all enjoyed the boy and The Right Girl new found relationship, and totally forgot that he was in a different relationship not too long ago. No one thought about The Wrong Girl, or how her life would be like after the break up. No one thought if she'd actually get into a new relationship, or stayed single for the rest of her life. I was guilty as charged, until Alex my boyfriend, decided to kiss The Right Girl in front of our secondary school and left me The Wrong Girl, to be the laughing stock to the entire students of Blossom High. • • • Eno had been the most popular girl at Blossom High School. She was like every cliché popular girls you've read on books and watched on television. She had a nasty attitude, popular boyfriend and three popular besties. Every girl wanted to be her, and every guy wanted to be with her. But her all so perfect life changed when her boyfriend Alex, kissed the one girl he claimed not to have feelings for. Now, Eno have to walk round school being who she thought she would never be..... THE WRONG GIRL. #WattysNG2020 • • • Started : 15/09/2019 Finished : 02/04/2020 • • • Highest Rankings 27/10/2019 #2 - africa #7 - nigeria 03/10/2019 #4 - nigerianstory #1 - wronggirl #9 - bestie #1 - proudlynige

Ten different lives. Two boys. One night that'll bring them all together. Sixteen year old Nosa is okay with being a loner. He doesn't have social anxiety-- he's Catholic and his mum promised you can't love Jesus and have a disorder. He's just weird and he's not good at talking to people but that doesn't mean there's something wrong with him. It does mean that he and Irekan could never be friends. Irekan's parents moved them back to Nigeria to straighten him up-- literally. Being Nigerian and queer has never been easy but now he has to at least try to 'ungay' himself to keep his family together. And that means no falling in love with Nosa's stupid face. Two boys fall in love over novels, anime and rock music that's definitely going to get one of them killed. ❀Winner: 2022 Pride Awards Teen Fiction Category❀ ❀2nd Place Winner: 2022 Pride Awards❀ ❀Featured on the AmbassadorsNG reading list❀ ❀Featured on Stories Undiscovered August 2022 reading list❀ ❀Featured on AmbassadorsAF reading list❀ __Highest Rankings__ #1 wattpadnigeria (3/08/2022) #1 Africanbook (8/05/2022) #1 Africanlgbt (8/05/2022) #5 Blackboys (12/05/2022) #2 Nigerianbook (15/07/2022) #13 Young Adult Fiction (23/06/2024) **This is a bl and it features multiple queer characters.
