Red Series Universe

Ryder is the small town's local college boy. It's summertime, and he's at the beach where he sees a young college girl. Their eyes lock. Intrigued, he wants to approach her, but she quickly disappears. Disappointed, he returns home, but he sees her the next day in his summer class.

On a rainy, winter night, a mysterious woman in a red dress seeking shelter comes inside the restaurant Kabir was busy working in —primarily the bar. Night after night, drink after drink, she comes back to the same spot. That is where he sees her for the first time. Hundreds of patrons around her try to speak with her daily, but she dismisses them. It appears she wants to remain in a blissful peace alone with her booze and books.

There’s only so many times a heart can break. One day, it will be okay, but it'll heal all wrong. It’ll heal with you outside of it. Eight months have gone, and Kabir still hasn’t moved on from the woman he still loves. Red's name is like a song on replay in his mind. He brings home women who are like her every night, but the next morning, he wakes up empty.

The coldest winter brings first loves. The winter that changed her forever. Let’s start from the beginning. The past. Meet the man she couldn’t forget and the man that broke her. Isaah and Saagh. The untouchable wealthy notorious bad boys of Emerson University. Love can heal a person, but no one ever told me, it can destroy a person too.

Behind his quirky comments, his outspoken truth, and his humbleness lies deep grief. Years earlier, Aryan had moved to New York. He was targeted in high school because of his background.
