Orange Water

Nicole's dreams were simple: finish her training, become a nurse, and make her family proud. But life at Future Works Academy unravels faster than she expects, leaving her on the streets with no one to turn to. In a world that teaches women to depend and men to control, Nicole fights to hold on to her sense of self. Along the way, she meets people who test her hope-and one man who nearly destroys it.
When a sunset reminds her of something small and beautiful she once loved, Nicole follows that memory toward redemption. or ruin. Orange Water is a haunting story about survival, control, and the fragile line between comfort and collapse.
