Caleb is a National Guard mechanic with a quiet soul, rough hands, and a history he doesn't talk about. Aaliyah is a single mother with two kids, a past she's fought to outrun, and no room left in her heart for fairytales. Their worlds collide when her car breaks down and he shows up-not just to fix the engine, but slowly, quietly, to start fixing everything else, too. This is a story about healing, about second chances, and about the kind of love that doesn't shout-but stays. It's raw. It's imperfect. And maybe, just maybe, it's grace.

NOBODY ELSE | PART I an urban love story. In the city of Atlanta, Georgia what started as a spark quickly turns into an undeniable flame. In a world full of secrets, exes who won't let go, and past pain that refuses to stay buried, Desirae and Andre find themselves on a ride they can't control. Deep chemistry and memories-untamed, unspoken, and undeniable. From stolen kisses to silent wars, Desirae and Andre ride a twisted roller coaster of passion, pride, and past pain. She's torn between the life she left behind and the future she's still chasing. He's stuck between letting her in or protecting her from the darkness he calls home. Love in the city isn't easy. Not when jealousy, loyalty, pride, and buried secrets start crawling out the shadows. Not when the streets are watching, and everybody's got something to say and definitely not when falling again could mean risking everything they've decided to build. When she left for college, she promised herself she'd never look back-not at the struggle, not at the hurt she tried so hard to get rid of, and especially not at Andre, the boy who almost had her heart before she gave up and went away. Andre is older, colder, and sitting on a hustle that keeps his hands full and his heart guarded. But when Desirae walks back into town looking like everything he's ever wanted and everything he knows he shouldn't have, old feelings get reignited-and so do old wounds. Finding themselves falling right back into each other arms. When love is on the line, will Desirae and Andre hold on tight-or let go?

Neither parties were fond of the idea, yet had no other choice but to comply with it. No matter how difficult and weird it was. If they had to then they had to. Oct. 2023-

While he was gone, she found herself. Essence didn't believe in soft things. Love had always been loud, painful, and temporary. So when Zion - calm, patient, and everything she wasn't used to - showed up in uniform with a quiet kind of peace, she pushed him away. Then he left for deployment. Now, surrounded by base gossip, silence, and everything she never said out loud, Essence is forced to face the one thing that scares her more than falling in love: being loved right. And Zion? He's not sure who he'll be when he comes home - but he knows exactly who he's coming back for. A slow-burn military love story about distance, healing, and the kind of love that waits - even when everything says to let go.

"When the world's watching, protecting two hearts gets real." They survived the lies. They chose each other. But love don't come easy-especially when the world's watching. Allure thought peace would come easy once she left her past behind-but nothing about her life is calm now. She's pregnant, popping on magazine covers, and the world suddenly wants more of her than ever. Behind the glitz, though, she's scared. Of change. Of motherhood. Of whether love can really hold steady when everything else is moving fast. Romelo's no longer just her bodyguard-he's about to be a father and the face of a growing security empire. But while he's leveling up, his past is still out there lurking, waiting to pull him back down. And with the spotlight getting hotter on both of them, the pressure to protect what they're building has never been heavier. As their names rise higher and the stakes grow deeper, Allure and Romelo will have to fight for their love-through the whispers, the expectations, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried. Because fame doesn't protect your heart. But maybe love can.

Fazion Creed was the wildfire of the Creed brothers-the youngest, the most reckless, the one who swore up and down that love would never catch him. He thrived on chaos, fast nights, faster women, and the freedom of never answering to anybody's soft feelings. In his own words, he was born a bachelor and planned to die one, no matter who crossed his path. But fate has a wicked sense of humor. One impulsive night with his brother's wife's best friend flips his entire world upside down. What was supposed to be nothing more than heat and adrenaline becomes the moment that stalks him, haunts him, rewires him. Suddenly the man who lived for the streets and the spotlight finds himself thinking about things he's never let himself want-forever, loyalty, a woman he can't shake even when he tries. Fazion was never looking for love... But love found him anyway, and it refuses to let go. Armani Rose is a full-time respiratory nurse with a soft heart, sharp instincts, and a ride-or-die loyalty that makes her the perfect best friend to Rumi and an even better godmother to their little one. She works hard, loves harder, and keeps her world clean and steady... until one reckless birthday night knocks her balance clean out of her hands. What should've been a harmless "one time and never again" slip-up turns into Fazion Creed tattooing himself onto her reality. She swore she'd forget him by sunrise, but he keeps showing up-leaning in her doorway like he owns the place, sliding into her days, popping up in her space with that wild grin like she already belongs to him. He's claiming her without permission, pushing past every boundary she tries to rebuild, refusing to give her the distance she swears she needs. Armani doesn't know whether to cuss him out, run away, or let him keep pulling her into the fire he carries in his chest. Because Fazion isn't budging. And deep down, she's not sure she wants him to.

Rumi "Rue" Monroe was a girl who grew up too quick and too soon. When her parents died, all she had left was herself, her overworked aunt, and bills they could never quite outrun. Fresh out of a relationship after catching her man in bed with another woman, Rue is exhausted working herself to the bone, drowning in responsibilities, and done with men altogether. She keeps her head down, minding her business, praying life gives her something better than struggle and disappointment. She isn't looking for love, danger, or anything that can break her again. Until she meets him. Nazir "Naz" Creed is the coldest man in the city a quiet storm with a reputation that speaks louder than he ever needs to. Running the streets with his brothers built him an empire people fear and respect in equal measure. Naz moves with precision, loyalty, and violence when necessary, and he's never cared about much outside money, power, and keeping his circle alive. But then he sees Rue. What starts as a chance encounter turns into a collision neither of them can walk away from. Rue's sweetness clashes with Naz's darkness, her broken hope meets his guarded heart, and suddenly the city's coldest man finds himself warming to the one girl who wasn't looking for him in the first place. And the streets? The streets don't like when the wrong people start caring about each other.
