"Compulsion," she said slowly, writing it on the board. "It's the act of doing something you know you shouldn't... because not doing it feels worse."

Von kills like she breathes-calm, cold, constant. Tahani doesn't just watch people die-she decides when. Vonn'asia, or just Von, is twenty-three and deadly as fuck. A storm with a trigger finger. Raised in blood, forged in silence, she's carved her name into the city's bones. She doesn't flinch, doesn't forgive, and damn sure doesn't fear. People say her name when they pray no one's listening. When she hunts, she doesn't leave witnesses-she leaves warnings. Then one night, bleeding and laughing like death ain't never met her, she runs into Tahani Aguado-a quiet girl in blue scrubs with hands too steady, eyes too knowing. Tahani is twenty-two. Mysterious. Methodical. And vicious behind closed doors. Her body count's a whisper, her smile a trap, and her heart? Frostbitten beyond repair. She's been surviving off precision kills and secrets too heavy to speak. She doesn't help people. She ends them. But something about Von made her open that door. Made her act against every rule she's lived by. Now the city's about to bleed. Two women built from violence. Both with pasts that could burn empires down. One running from chaos. One becoming it. What started with a single bullet explodes into something brutal-lust, loyalty, betrayal, and bodies stacking too fast to count. In a world where mercy is weakness, and love is a liability, Von and Tahani don't fall for each other- They crash. Hard. And when killers collide? Some cities never recover.

Two gangs. One kiss. No going back. Persia was just supposed to blend in-spy, report, disappear. Then she saw Ria again. Older. Bolder. Off-limits. And when Ria kissed her? Persia kissed back. Now she's caught between the crew that raised her... and the girl who ruins her with one look. Loyalty is deadly. Lust? Even worse.

Thrown into the polished world of Principal Brown's household, she finds herself under the same roof as Sierra, her vibrant new teammate, and Unique, Sierra's guarded, no-nonsense twin who'd rather be left alone. As boundaries blur and tensions rise, Mei'ayla and Unique are pulled into a slow-burning connection that neither of them saw coming. But between the pressure to perform, the ghosts they're both running from, and the fear of being truly seen, love might be the hardest thing to hold on to.

In a world where business and personal lives collide, The Power of Connection follows the intense and evolving relationship between two powerful women: Taylor Carter, an up-and-coming tech developer with a small but ambitious company, and Jordan Brooks, the savvy and determined CEO of BrooksTech. Their professional partnership begins with a business pitch that soon turns into something far more complicated as sparks fly between them.

As the stakes rise, both women must confront their pasts and fight for their future, navigating the blurry line between love, power, and survival. In a game where every move counts, they'll have to decide if their bond is strong enough to withstand the forces trying to tear them apart-or if they'll risk it all for a chance at happiness together.
