Ain't nothin' soft about love in the hood. Sixteen-year-old Amari, a wild-hearted, street-smart intersex boy from Eastside, keeps his truth close. Ain't nobody got time to understand him-not his mama, not the streets, not even himself sometimes. But then comes Dre, a quiet, observant boy fresh from ATL, trying to keep his own demons in check. They ain't supposed to fall for each other. Not here, where survival means keeping your head down and heart cold. But what happens when love starts speakin' louder than fear? When truth gets louder than whispers? This ain't no fairytale. This real life. And real love-yeah, that sh*t hit different.

Masai and Koda were supposed to kill each other. Leaders of rival gangs, raised by the streets, built on hate and loyalty. But when a setup turns into something deeper, they find themselves caught in a slow-burning connection that neither of them can explain. They're both dominant. Both dangerous. Both confused as hell. But the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to act like this ain't something. This ain't a love story. It's something... Crazy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "Then surprisingly, I wouldn't be upset." His voice lowered a notch. "But maybe I'm just crazy... right along wit you."

Book 1 In Miami's heat, where bodies drop and secrets burn, Brycier finds himself tangled in the arms of the city's most dangerous man-the one who was never supposed to care. A slow-burn hood romance soaked in blood, fear, and first love.
