Before I Met You

Before I Met You
By Jasmine Mergilles
She was focused. Unbothered. Married to the music-until love showed up in Timbs and a fitted.
Misty had her heart locked away and her energy tuned to healing frequencies. Life in Brooklyn was loud enough, and she was cool riding solo-until a random brush with a stranger at a party flipped her whole rhythm.
His name was Dolla. A sound healer with a street edge, a magnetic presence, and a silence that spoke louder than most men's best lines. One accidental trip turned into DMs, playlists, voice notes, and late-night cravings that had nothing to do with food-though food would be the very thing that brought them face to face again.
In this steamy, soulful love story, Misty finds herself caught between the life she planned and a chemistry she can't explain. Through music, food, and slow-burning romance, Before I Met You explores the power of connection, vulnerability, and the one moment that can change everything.
But in a city like Brooklyn, love is never that simple...
Will this unexpected flame burn forever-or fizzle out when secrets come to light?
