Six kids in one house, and somehow he still felt invisible. Taye was always working, always stressed, always trying to hold everything together but never really seeing him. The others were the same. Busy. Distant. Like surviving mattered more than anything else. And maybe it did. But that didn't stop it from messing him up. So he learned quick don't ask for anything, don't expect nothing, and don't let nobody get close enough to leave. That's just how he became Kairo. Rude. Distant. Unbothered. Or at least...that's what everybody thought. Now suddenly, things were different. Taye checking on him. Asking questions. Looking at him like he actually mattered. It didn't sit right. "Where was all that before?" Kairo muttered one night, staring up at the ceiling, phone in his hand but not really looking at it. Because care-real care-was something he didn't know how to trust. And that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part...was him. Kairos best friend. The one person who always stayed. Always showed up. Always saw him even when Kairo tried his hardest to push him away. That was the problem. Because Kairo wasn't supposed to feel like this. Not about him.

Tyler is straight. He has a girlfriend. He's the campus golden boy. He's also my roommate. In public, he pretends I don't exist. In private, he watches me. Tracks me. Loses it when I come back late. He's terrified of what that means. So is everyone else. His girlfriend knows. His teammates are watching. His father-who stands at a pulpit every Sunday-is coming to town. And Tyler is running out of ways to disappear.

PRETTY EYES: A Southside Atlanta Story 📍 One night in the Southside changed Keyon Davis Jr.'s life forever. After thirty minutes of yelling at a locked door, he walked into a nightmare he could never unsee: his baby momma gone, and his daughter, Layla, shivering in a dark closet. Now, Keyon is trading his freedom for a two-year bid in DeKalb County Jail. He's not there to make friends or find trouble-he's there to survive and get home to the only girl who matters. But the "Rice Street" system has other plans. In the middle of the noise and the concrete, Keyon finds himself locked in with two men who see right through his "thug" exterior. One is a kingpin with the world at his feet, and the other is a quiet storm with secrets of his own. Between the cold bars and the heat of their gaze, Keyon is about to learn that love doesn't always come in pairs-and sometimes, the prettiest eyes are the ones that finally see your truth. One heart. Three men. Zero rules.
