With the First Kiss
A slow-burn, consent-forward romance about found family, soul-deep want, and a woman who was taught to be perfect—until one reckless kiss rewrites the rules.
Synopsis
She was raised to be perfect—posture straight, voice quiet, heart locked. Rivenya doesn’t believe in fate. She believes in control.
Then seven men step into her orbit—each a different kind of gravity. One looks at her like a storm he’s outrun too long. One touches like a prayer. One laughs and the room remembers how to breathe. They don’t rescue her; they dare her to rescue herself.
Rules crack. Consent becomes a language they speak out loud. Kindness grows teeth and cuts chains. Grief stops hiding and starts telling the truth she’s never been allowed to say. A single, reckless kiss lights the fuse that turns discipline into desire—and obedience into choice.
With the First Kiss is a feral romance about sacred want, found family, and a woman who learns to choose—then be met there.
