Harsh outcomes was all Nova expected from life, especially in the love department. That is until she found her soulmate Bryson, who happens to be one of the most high powered drug dealers in the country. Despite his menacing occupation, Bryson fulfilled Nova in ways she thought were impossible. He was her end all, be all. Nova prides herself as being a strong, independent, ambitious woman. One who doesn't deflect her saucy attitude or tones down her true feelings. However, as married life steps in full circle, everything is thrown into question as the outspoken diva struggles with being a spouse, maintaining a happy home, and finding her true identity in this world.

Four years ago, Selena Moreau gave her heart to a man she had no business loving. She was a seamstress-young, gifted, and far from home. He was a prince, caught between duty and desire, with promises that tasted like forever. In the quiet shadows of the palace, they shared something soft, something sacred... until the world outside tore it apart. Now, Selena lives a quiet life in the town no one of importance ever visits, raising her son with careful hands and a guarded heart. She asks for nothing. Expects even less. The boy she bore is hers alone, and she intends to keep it that way. But when the newly crowned king returns and their paths cross once more, old feelings begin to stir-and buried truths rise to the surface. Alexander is back... not just in her world, but dangerously close to the one secret that binds them forever. He wants to know his son. He wants to understand what he lost. But after everything he left behind... will she let him in? A story of first love, betrayal, and the slow, aching journey back to one another-where the cost of silence may be the only thing keeping them apart.

"Some scars don't fade - they just learn how to breathe." Layla Thomas came to Harlem to disappear. After losing almost everything - the love she trusted, the future she planned, the self she used to recognize - all she wants now is silence. A new start. Something that feels like hers again. One night, she finds herself standing outside a hidden tattoo studio with a sign that reads Ink & Ashes. Inside is Dave, a man with inked hands, a calm voice, and eyes that seem to see straight through her defenses. He doesn't ask for details. He just asks what the mark means - and somehow, that's the first time anyone's really asked her anything that mattered. What starts as one tattoo becomes a ritual. Late nights turn into confessions between strangers, stories traded in low light and cigarette smoke. But Dave East has his own ghosts - the kind that don't stay buried for long. In a city that never stops moving, two broken souls find something dangerously still in each other. But when the past catches up, both will have to decide if love built from pain can survive the fire that made it.

Lyric Brown is a Bronx-born hurricane-part bartender, part artist, all heart. In LA, she craves more than survival; she wants to feel alive. Vanilla, acrylic paint, and stubborn hope cling to her skin like second nature. She doesn't follow rules, and she definitely doesn't follow men. But Diego Romierz isn't just any man.

Lyric was supposed to be a distraction. A risk he could control. One night, one broken rule, and a missed period later, they're both pulled into something neither of them knows how to hold. Love. Trust. A heartbeat on a screen. And for two people who've only ever known how to fight, family might be the hardest battle yet.
