Ashanti Leneé Duvan is tired. Tired of college. Tired of fake connections. Tired of people not taking her seriously. A junior in college working toward becoming a psychologist, Ashanti is already overwhelmed-and the semester barely started. Between her anxiety, academic pressure, and a love life full of unserious hoes, she's starting to wonder if she is the problem... or if people just can't handle her. Then there's Chase Tavonii Jackson. A fine, nonchalant stud with tattoos from head to toe, a successful tattoo shop, and a girlfriend she probably shouldn't have. Chase doesn't do feelings-she does distance, rules, and cheating before she can get hurt again. One slutterparty. One shared bedroom. One twenty-minute dare. Boundaries get set. Lines get crossed. And neither of them is ready for what happens when attraction turns into something real. Sometimes the people who swear they don't want you... want you the most.

Ava, a formidable Mafia boss, grapples with accepting her true self and the brutal reality of her existence. Her unwavering source of inspiration and strength lies in her steadfast companion, Diana. As Ava's heart opens to love, she becomes enamored with Adrianna and endeavors to shield her lover from the perils of her tumultuous lifestyle, demonstrating her profound devotion and protecting her from the hazards that threaten her well-being. "Her princess" is a book you will not regret. I finally did it with the help of my role model😘😘

"i fucked up I have to agree, but second chances I do believe in" Tiana "Tinka" Johnson was a church girl with a soft heart who never expected to fall in love with somebody like Daysani Walker - a hood stud known for her street ties, tattoos, and toxic ways. No matter how many times Sani lied, hurt her, or entertained other females, Tinka always found herself going back. But after one heartbreak too many, Tinka finally leaves for good without a word... leaving Sani spiraling. Now Sani sending people all over the city looking for the girl she can't leave alone - only to find out Tinka carrying the one thing that'll tie them together forever: her baby.

She was 18. She was 22. And they both swore it was just "nothing serious." That was the first lie. Zaryiah never planned on falling for someone like Alyssa. A stud with too much confidence, too much presence, and a way of looking at her like she already belonged to her. It was supposed to be simple. Keep it fun. Keep it light. But nothing about Alyssa was ever light. What started as late-night talks turned into something heavier. What started as glances turned into feelings they tried to ignore. And what started as "we shouldn't" turned into "we can't stop." Because love like this doesn't ask for permission. It consumes. And just when they thought they were figuring it out... Everything changed. A pregnancy they never planned for. A future they were too young to fully understand. And a love that suddenly had to grow up overnight. Now it's not just about them anymore. It's about what they're building. What they're risking. And what they refuse to lose. A stud learning how to love without running. A femme discovering strength she didn't know she had. And a baby girl who turned their chaos into something real. This is messy. This is emotional. This is not what they planned. But it is what they chose. And once you read their story... you won't forget it.

After killing her abusive ex in self-defense, Nia Carter, a quiet, emotionally scarred young woman from Atlanta, is sentenced to 7 years in a women's prison. Lost, afraid, and broken, she meets King, a dominant, charismatic stud serving 25 to life for a street murder. King runs the block and has the respect of guards and inmates alike. From the moment King sees Nia, she's drawn to her vulnerability, her beauty, and her silence. She becomes her protector, fighting off threats and making sure nobody touches her. Over time, they form a deep emotional bond that borders on obsession for King - though Nia sees her as a friend, possibly more, in a place where love is survival. When Nia is released early after 5 years, she promises to write. But life moves on. She reinvents herself, gets therapy, becomes a nurse, and even marries a kind man who doesn't know the full truth about her past. Ten years later, King is finally released on parole. She searches for Nia with one purpose: to reclaim what she believes is hers. But when she sees Nia with her husband, the jealousy eats her alive. King makes a deadly choice: she kills the husband in cold blood, thinking she's freeing Nia. Now Nia is caught between the new life she built... and the old protector who never let her go.

She was hard to read. Hard to keep. And even harder to let go of. What started as something simple turned into something neither of them were ready for. Feelings got deeper. Mistakes got real. And walking away should've been easy. But it wasn't. Because some connections don't just fade. They pull you back in- until you either figure it out... or lose it completely.

"If it makes it less awkward i don't want to do it either," "Really? because I think you're too far up your own ass to give a shit about what people have worked for so fu-" she doesn't get to finish because I grab her arm gently spinning her so she can face me. She was walking too fast anyway. "Curse at me one more time and I'll make it my personal mission to to uphold this branded reputation," I say before she removes my hand aggressively.
