Back to the Basics

Back to the Basics is a powerful story of personal growth, romance, and the search for independence. Raven Vaughn is ready to move on from the toxic relationship that nearly derailed her life. After leaving her fast-paced life in California behind, she’s returned to Staten Island, where the quiet hum of her family’s home offers both solace and the chance to rebuild. But it’s not just her life she’s trying to piece back together—it’s herself.

Caught between two men who have captured her heart in different ways, Raven must learn to navigate the tension between love, independence, and self-discovery. As she faces the ghosts of her past—both emotional and financial—Raven begins to unlock her own strength. But when an old flame resurfaces and her family dynamics continue to complicate her future, Raven must confront the hardest question of all: Who is she really, and what does she want for herself?

A slow-burn romance that blends empowerment with heart, Back to the Basics is a story of finding the courage to step into your own power, embrace your worth, and choose the future you deserve.
