𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝 is focused on one thing: getting through her senior year and leaving her neighborhood behind. At 17, she's smart, guarded, and determined not to get caught up in the chaos around her. Love, drama, and trouble? She doesn't have time for any of it. Then Oscar 'Spooky' Diaz comes back. Fresh out of jail, 𝐎𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐳 better known as Spooky is trying to move differently this time. At 22, his name carries weight in the streets, and most people know better than to cross him. But when he keeps running into Imani Shepherd, things get complicated. They don't really have history... just years of knowing of each other, passing by in the same neighborhood, living completely different lives. Imani is everything Spooky isn't focused, careful, and determined to escape the life he's been stuck in. Spooky is everything Imani knows she should stay away from dangerous, unpredictable, and tied to a world she promised herself she'd never fall into. But sometimes the strongest connections come from the most unlikely places. Late-night conversations turn into stolen moments. Curiosity turns into something deeper. And before either of them realizes it, the line between right and wrong, safe and risky, starts to blur. Because when two opposites collide, someone always ends up having to surrender.

Radiate is a raw, intoxicating story about obsession, power, and the kind of love that burns more than it heals. Dayvon known to the streets as King Von is untouchable. The police have chased him for years, circling closer every time, yet somehow he always slips through. Not because he's invisible... but because someone on the inside can't let him go. Mahogany is a dedicated police officer, a mother to a five-year-old son, and a woman fighting a war within herself. She's sworn to take Dayvon down, to be the one who finally puts him behind bars. But every time she tries to cut him off, she finds herself back in his arms angrier, weaker, and more addicted than before. She hates what they are. Hates what he brings out of her. Yet she can't walk away. Their relationship is toxic, dangerous, and unspoken but Dayvon knows the truth. He knows Mahogany won't leave him alone. And as long as she's torn between her badge and her heart, he remains free. Radiate explores the collision of duty and desire, the cost of loyalty, and how love can become the very thing that destroys you or keeps you alive.
