Urban Romance | Dallas, TX | Black Love Kai Karter wasn't looking for love - just peace. A 24-year-old single mom, esthetician, and LPN working her way through nursing school, she's finally building a quiet life in Dallas for her and her four-year-old daughter, Regin. After escaping the grip of her abusive, drug-dealing ex, she's focused on healing skin by day and studying late into the night. Soft, sweet, and self-made - but don't get it twisted. She's not the one to play with. Crew "Ace" Princeton has never believed in love. Kingpin of the South, owner of a buzzing barbershop and tattoo lounge, Crew only trusts his money, his Glock, and his day-one, Dice. Loyalty to the streets is the only code he lives by. Women are for pleasure, never peace - and his favorite side piece, Keisha , knows the drill. Emotions? Off-limits. But everything changes when a random grocery store run puts him face-to-face with Kai - and her wide-eyed little girl calling him "Mister with the tattoos ." He's never chased a woman. She's not impressed by his charm . When Crews mom books him an appointment where Kai works unknowingly , Crew walks into the spa for a "facial"... and walks out with something he never expected: interest. Real, inconvenient, soul-tugging interest. Now two guarded hearts from two different worlds are on a slow collision course. But the streets don't let go easy. And neither do exes who still want control. Can a woman who just wants peace love a man born in chaos? Or will their worlds burn before they ever blend?

She's accidentally given his hotel room to stay in...when he confronts her he instantly recognises her beautiful face. This one moment would be the beginning of their love story...

If you let a stranger in your home, you have to deal with consequences. ⚠️trigger warning⚠️

She was broken, pregnant, and abandoned. He was grumpy, guarded, and done with love. But somehow, they became each other's safe place. When Amiyah Le'Rae Vynter's abusive ex finds out she's pregnant, he does the cruelest thing he can-kicks her out, leaving her homeless and heartbroken with nowhere to go. Carrying a child she didn't ask for but already loves, Amiyah vows to do everything on her own...until a caramel-skinned, tattooed stranger with a permanent scowl changes everything. Cassian Rhyse Holloway doesn't do relationships, and he definitely doesn't do drama. But when he sees a shivering, pregnant woman at a bus stop in the middle of the night, something inside him snaps. He takes her in, promising himself it's only temporary. Yet, the more he's around her-the late-night conversations, her soft laughter, the way his big hands fit over her growing belly-the harder it is to keep his distance. He's grumpy, overprotective, and quick to threaten anyone who even looks at her wrong. She's sweet, vulnerable, but stronger than she gives herself credit for. Together, they're messy, complicated, and falling for each other in ways neither expected. But when Amiyah's toxic ex tries to crawl back into her life, Cassian has to prove that he's not just her shelter-he's the man who's ready to love her and the baby she's carrying, no matter what.

"Threw away your love letters, I thought it'd made me feel better..."
