He left a mark I never asked for. Now he wants to finish the piece. Amina Westbrook didn't choose motherhood. But when her younger sister dropped a baby and disappeared, Amina stepped in, raised that little girl as her own, and never looked back. Seven years later, the past comes tatted, cocky, and fine as hell, standing in the grocery store with the same hypnotic eyes her daughter sees in the mirror. Santiago Vega. Zuri's father. The man who left before he ever knew she existed. Now he wants in. He wants time. Forgiveness. A chance to be a father. And every time he shows up with that deep voice and soft smirk, Amina hates how bad she wants to let him. He's not just showing up for Zuri-he's showing up for her. Fixing things she didn't ask him to fix. Dropping money in her hand like it's his right. Touching her like he already knows how she breaks. And Amina? She's been holding everything together for so long that she doesn't know how to let go. Doesn't know how to want someone who actually stays. But Santiago? He stays. Through the attitude. The boundaries. The sparks that keep catching fire. And when he finally gets his hands on her? There's nothing soft about it. Now she's spiraling in his sheets, fighting him in front of her family, and falling harder than she ever meant to. Because Santiago doesn't just want to play daddy. He wants the whole damn family. And this time, he's not leaving until he has them.

Jaylen, a 25-year-old Black man and a famous football player for the most well-known team in the country, has a best friend named Matteo - a well-known white billionaire. What the world doesn't know is that Jaylen and Matteo are more than just best friends; they're also secretly friends with benefits. One night, like many others, Jaylen was hanging out at Matteo's place. They were having their usual fun, enjoying each other's company in private. But the next morning, they were jolted awake by the sound of the doorbell. When they opened the door, they found a 4-year-old boy standing there. The shocking part? The little boy looked like both of them. And then, as soon as the boy saw Jaylen, he pointed at him and called out, "Mom." Jaylen and Matteo just stood there, jaws on the floor.
