Alaina Saint lives two lives. By day, she's the polite, college-educated daughter with a business degree, a clean Instagram, and parents who think she works a corporate job in downtown Miami. By night, she becomes Sevyn Dior-the club's most requested dancer, a woman who moves like silk and fire, who makes fast money and never lets anyone get close enough to touch her real life. She keeps her worlds separate. She keeps her heart guarded. She keeps her secrets safe. Until Legend Creed walks into her club. He's the biggest name in the city. Hood royalty, kingpin, businessman, and the one man everyone knows not to cross. He doesn't chase women. He doesn't waste time. He doesn't get distracted. But Sevyn Dior? She knocks something loose in him the moment he sees her. Legend wants her real name. Her real voice. Her real life. And Alaina knows better. He's danger wrapped in loyalty. Chaos wrapped in control. A man with power, enemies, and two siblings he'd kill for. She shouldn't want him. She shouldn't trust him. She definitely shouldn't let him in. But Legend Creed is protective in ways she's never experienced, gentle in ways she didn't expect, and obsessed in ways he can't hide. Soon, late-night conversations turn into private dates. Private dates turn into secrets. And secrets turn into feelings neither of them meant to catch. But when a video leaks, jealous exes circle, her parents start asking questions, and the streets remind Legend that love comes with consequences-Alaina learns that loving a kingpin isn't safe. And Legend learns that for the right woman...he'd burn down the whole city.

Amaya Lewis knows the law better than she knows herself. At only twenty-seven, she's the rising Black star of civil litigation-sharp-mouthed in court, soft-hearted in life, and determined to protect the people the world forgets. But when she takes on Elijah Ward, a former Army sniper threatening to expose illegal missions and buried military casualties, Amaya steps into a battlefield she can't see. Within days, she becomes a high-value liability-and someone in the government signs her name on a quiet, classified order. Kairo Holt has followed orders his whole life. No hesitation. No questions. No guilt. He's the weapon they call when they don't want fingerprints on the outcome. Kairo is playing both sides. Amaya doesn't know she's sleeping next to the very man sent to end her. And the deeper he falls for her, the more impossible the mission becomes. Because he can't serve two masters forever. And when the crosshairs finally close in, Kairo has to decide: The job... or the woman who made him hesitate.

Kay never planned to fall in love. She's a bartender who minds her business, keeps her head down, and understands that some men come with silence instead of promises. Rome Brewster is one of those men. He's charming, romantic, and dangerous in a way that doesn't need explaining. He shows up. He stays late. He learns her routines without asking permission. He doesn't offer forever-just consistency, protection, and a presence that feels too rare to ignore. What starts as quiet attraction turns into something deeper. Something chosen. Something neither of them names out loud. This isn't a story about being saved. It's about loving someone as they are. About wanting without ownership. About choosing the moment even when you know it won't last forever. Some loves don't come to stay. They come to change you.

Alyssa Monroe built her life around giving - warm coats, hot meals, and second chances. Her non-profit, The Monroe Foundation, is the city's holiday heartbeat. To raise more funds, she announces a playful challenge at her annual gala: 𝙒𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚, 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙. She never expected Christopher Green to win. He's the city's coldest businessman, feared in the streets, and the last person she wants tied to her name. But when he drops six figures and shows up ready to play the part, Alyssa realizes there's more to him than rumors. He's chaos where she craves calm, temptation where she promised control-and somehow, the one person who makes her heart feel like home again. Because underneath the lights, the charity, and the snow, she learns one thing for sure 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇- He told her one thing "you ain't see shit if you wanna keep that pretty face connected to your body." She was never supposed to cross paths with Giomani "Gio" Blackwood, suit-wearing, gun-toting underboss of New York's most feared family. But one wrong night put her in his world, and Gio don't believe in coincidences. Now she's tied to the man the streets call a monster. And the craziest part? The more she learns about him, the harder it gets to hate him. Cold. Calculated. Fine as hell. Gio runs everything - and when his father steps down, he's coming for the throne. But love and loyalty don't mix in the mafia. And in Gio's world, you either with him... or you against him. Ain't no in-between.

Zahara Wells never believed love could feel like punishment-until her father's debt became her price. When the Brewsters come calling to collect, she expects threats, maybe violence... not a proposal. Now bound to David Brewster III, the cold and calculated heir to Miami's most dangerous family, Zahara is forced into a world of money, blood, and silent wars. Her job? Play the perfect wife, smile for the cameras, and remember she's only there because her father owed him. But David doesn't want her obedience-he wants her loyalty. And the longer she stays, the more she realizes his touch feels less like control and more like protection. Still, in a world built on power and payback, falling for the man who owns you might be the deadliest mistake of all. Because nothing in the Brewster empire comes free. Not money. Not loyalty. Not love. Only The Contract. Coverrr by @TrenchLordTales <3

Kaylani Rivera moves to Las Vegas for a fresh start. New career, new city, new life. No drama. Just peace, cooking, and staying out of trouble. But trouble finds her in the form of Jasai Carter. The man everyone respects. The man everyone fears. The man she didn't know ran half the city. When she gets hired to cook at his best friend's bachelor party, everything changes. Jasai isn't what she expected. He is loud with affection. Bold with jealousy. Dangerous with silence. And very clear about what he wants. Her. Kaylani is used to loving quietly. Jasai loves loudly. And Vegas has never seen a pair like them. He is the risk she should avoid. She is the peace he never knew he needed. But in a city built on bets, secrets, and survival, sometimes the most dangerous move is the one that feels right.
