Zamyrah has never believed in fairy-tale endings, and Dayvon has never been the type to follow rules. But when their families force them into an arrangement neither asked for, they're left with no choice but to play the part of the perfect couple-or risk everything their loved ones have built. From staged interviews and handholding under flashing cameras to living under the same roof, their lives become a performance for the world. But behind closed doors, sparks fly-sharp words, stolen glances, and touches that feel too real to be fake. Zamyrah is determined to keep her guard up, convinced Dayvon's smirk is nothing more than trouble in disguise. Dayvon, on the other hand, is sure he can break down every wall she's built. What starts as a contract soon turns into something neither of them can control. Because somewhere between pretending and resisting, their hearts stop following the script. publish on- september 29,2025 Finish on-

IN WICH: Kennesey Jordan is new to Chicago. She spends her first few days there helping her brother pull off his annual Christmas event. But then she met Justice Bennett - the venue owner with the kind of calm that made noise feel safe. He didn't talk much, didn't smile often, and definitely didn't plan on catching feelings for his homeboy's little sister. Between long nights setting up lights, missed calls, and moments that lingered too long - they both started feeling something neither of them were ready for. The city's cold, the holidays are loud, and love's the last thing either of them was looking for. But sometimes, the quietest things hit the hardest.

"Solè, why'd you stay?" "Because, Zaire... you the first thing that ever felt worth staying for." ❀ 🝳 ❀ Harlem held the noise. Solè gave Zaire the quiet. Zaire Knox, Harlem's quiet storm, known for his ties to the streets and a gaze that read people faster than they could lie to him. Respected. Feared. Loved. With scars buried deeper than his tattoos, he never planned to love soft. Until a Harlem vinyl shop left behind by his late grandfather forces him to slow down, to breathe, to find his real purpose in the world beyond the streets. Solè Sinclair, soft but unbreakable, raised by her father after loss. By day, she serves warmth behind the counter of a café. By night, she disappears into her art, trying to paint the parts of herself no one ever sees. When their worlds cross, the city shifts. What starts off tense and unexpected turns tender. Together, they learn love can hold you just as fierce as the streets ever did, and softer, too. But love in Harlem always asks one question: what are you willing to risk when the heart wants more than the streets ever offered? A Harlem story. A hood love. A soft place to land. ❀ 🝳 ❀

I dragged my nails lightly over his chest, slow, my eyes locked on his. "You told me I was in control, remember?" My voice dipped lower, sultry, daring. I leaned close enough that my lips brushed his ear. "Then say it, baby. Say you're my bitch." A dark laugh rumbled from his lips, low and sinful, the kind that made my stomach flip. His eyes didn't waver, didn't blink. "I'm your bitch," he said...calm, but hot as fuck. The words rolled off his tongue like he'd been waiting to say them, and God, the way he said it almost made me melt right there.

- short story- Pure was always down to dig into other people's vibes, especially when she had a crush on the low. Her curiosity was fueled by her introverted side, making her hesitant to make a move.

Suhari Aleí Jaxon never wanted the life that came with loving Hendrix. She married him before the money, before the fear, before Detroit learned his name and moved out the way when he stepped into it. To her, Hendrix was just a husband. To the city, he became a nightmare. As Hendrix climbed higher in the streets, the man Suhari loved disappeared. What replaced him was ruthless, merciless, and addicted to power. No one was off limits ... not families, not children, not blood. Suhari tried to pull him back, build something clean so they could finally breathe. But the streets had him, and they weren't letting go. When whispers reach Khadim that his cousin Hendrix is moving sloppy and drowning the city in unnecessary blood, he comes back to fix what Hendrix always breaks but what Khadim uncovers changes everything. A secret he kept to make sure Suhari never left. When the truth finally reaches Suhari, love turns into something darker. Something violent. Teaming up with the one man capable of destroying Hendrix's empire, she sets out for revenge unaware that hate, grief, and desire don't mix cleanly. One mistake turns into passion. Passion turns into betrayal. And every choice spills more blood. Now Detroit is split down the middle. Two cousins. One throne. One woman caught between the man she married and the man who might ruin her just as badly. This isn't a love story. It's a war.
