Balinda Johnson is no stranger to struggle. The first in her family to attend college, she's hustling harder than most-balancing late-night shifts at the call center, managing her classes, and leaning on her tight-knit crew of friends to keep her grounded. She's fiercely independent and determined to focus on herself and steer clear of drama-but college has a way of pulling you into the unexpected.
Messiah Caine, the smooth-talker from Maryland's elite circles, seems to have it all. Born into wealth and prestige, Messiah's life is wrapped in designer expectations and his picture-perfect relationship with Dallas, the campus "it girl." On the outside, he's the golden boy with everything lined up: family legacy, key connections, and a future his parents have meticulously planned. But beneath the polished exterior, Messiah feels trapped in a life that isn't his own.
Caught between loyalty and longing, Messiah wrestles with his growing attraction to Balinda while Dallas fights to hold onto the image of perfection they've crafted together. As campus gossip brews and relationships are tested, Balinda and Messiah must confront the undeniable pull between them and if they can endure the consequences of their relationship.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of college life, Soul Ties: Drawn to You is Book 1 in a series about forbidden connections, self-discovery, and the intoxicating power of attraction. Will they resist the pull, or will their choices unravel everything they've built?
