Khysen Bennett grew up in the streets with a father who turned him into a soldier, not a son. Violence was all he knew, and loyalty to his dad, Kion Bennett, was the only way to survive. He never questioned orders, until his father told him to follow Saija Fletcher and take her out. She was supposed to be just another target, watching her, move, and pull the trigger, but the more Khysen watches her, the more he feels something he hadn't felt in forever, and that makes the job impossible. Now he's stuck between the only life he's ever known and the girl who makes him want better. With his anger always one call away from blowing up and his father watching his every move, Khysen has to figure out what's worth more - his loyalty or his heart, but in his world, turning your back on family can get you killed.

"Opposites attract, often because they mirror each other in secret ways." Nayeli Travers has never had control. Forced to give away her mind and her body after being taken to New Mexico for child trafficking, she has never been able to live for herself. Raised by the system until the age of twelve every choice, action, and thought was never her own. That is until she reclaims her freedom at a deadly cost. With a new idenity, she now lives under high viligance, completely anxiety-ridden over the mere thought of ever being captured again. Her form of coping is drowning herself distractions and work. A mask to cover a false sense of something she still has yet to claim. Control. Everything shifts when her roomate convinces her to work alongside with her as a maid at The Donatello Manor. That's where she meets the notorious Taige Donatello. Brought up by his easy going grandparents and distant business parents that just threw money at him whenever he needed them, freedom was all he ever knew. Taige lived a life of street racing, reckless decisions, and non-stop partying, but beneath the flash and facade, Taige was fighting an internal battle with himself. Years of criticism from his pessimistic father left him constantly trying to prove himself, and earn his father's validation until he couldn't anymore. With no guidance or stability, he didn't know who he was. So he chased anything that made him feel alive to avoid the emptiness he couldn't face. As their worlds intertwine, Taige's fascination with Nayeli deepens. To him, her silence speaks in ways words never could but for her, it's both shield and scar. She aches to trust again, yet the echoes of her past hold her back. Still, his persistence softens her guarded edges and in him, she sees a familiar emptiness that doesn't seek to be fixed, but simply understood. Two restless souls, bound by the illusion of control find in each other the space to heal, to learn, and to gradually become whole together.

Corin and Kamilya's worlds collide in Miami Can they fight against all odds and be together ?

Niah Monroe, a 26-year-old ambitious woman working her way through grad school, has always kept her life on the straight and narrow. She's loyal to her best friend, and she avoids men who could derail her goals. But then enters Khalil "Khaos" Mercer, 32, her best friend's older brother-fresh out after serving time, running the family's underground hustle, and building an empire of his own. He's dark, dangerous, and the one man she's never allowed herself to want. When circumstances force them together-him needing her brain and discipline to clean up his business moves, her needing his protection after a brush with street danger-the forbidden attraction between them sparks into a full-blown, undeniable passion.

Messiah Carter - or Mace Tha Don to the world - walked into her life with that New Orleans drawl, diamond chains, and the kind of energy that made every woman stare.

What started as love turned into a power struggle - two souls too prideful to let go, too attached to walk away. Between Kendra's messy games, Mace's fame, and Zee's buried pain, their love became a battlefield where both kept losing pieces of themselves. And when betrayal, a secret pregnancy, and public humiliation push Zee past her breaking point, she learns that love might be free - but healing will cost everything.
