Sa'Lani Monee Jeffries has always been the thick girl who gets overlooked or played. At 27, she's done with love, focused on stacking her money as a nail tech and minding her business. But when a fine, chocolate, six-foot-three gangsta with a low voice and dangerous reputation starts showing up at her job, all of that changes. Kaizer "Kai" Rashaad Wynn isn't the type of man she ever wanted. He's quiet, mean to everybody but her, and runs the streets with a heavy hand. Yet when he looks at her like she's the only woman in the world, Sa'Lani finds herself letting her guard down piece by piece. What starts as playful flirting turns into late-night phone calls, expensive gifts, and nights that leave her body aching for more. But falling for a man like Kai means stepping into a world of hood politics, jealous exes, and enemies who will use anything-including her-to get to him. When street drama hits too close to home, Sa'Lani is forced to decide if she can love a man who lives by a code that could get him killed... or if loving him will be the very thing that breaks her heart. Because Kai doesn't just want her body-he wants all of her. And when a real gangsta falls in love with a thick girl, he ain't letting go, no matter who has to get out of the way.

"She came at the right time....a walking miracle."

Janeisha "Neisha" Bambi has always survived by keeping a low profile. She don't get caught up in the kind of business that comes with bodies, secrets, and street names that echo. But all it takes is one night-one favor for her best friend-to slide her straight into the orbit of Seven "Saint" Carter. Saint is discipline wrapped in menace. A man the streets don't just respect,they fear. The type Neisha promised herself she'd never look at twice. He doesn't chase, beg, or explain. Yet somehow, he does all of this for her. And when that calm, unreadable gaze settles on Neisha, her careful world starts to crack. Now Saint's patience is running out, Neisha's defenses are falling apart and the pull between them is starting to feel less like a choice and more like fate. He's trying to shield her from the life he lives. She's trying to decide if loving him is salvation or self-destruction.

"I'm not ready to forget you, Lavender."

We're often advised that one of the best ways to increase the chances of a relationship's success is to keep it private and keep your business out of the streets. But what if you don't have a choice and the relationship has to be kept a secret. You know that young, sexy, tattooed awesome R&B singer August Alsina well this rule applies to him. He's been keeping his relationship lowkey for a whole year now with girlfriend Raigen Ruiz. A person in love wants to be many things, but in most situations, a secret is not one of them. The relationship Raigen wants to broadcast to show her love for her boyfriend she can't. "Fans like to have that feeling that their the only girl in your life, so being publicly out there will hurt them. You will be more attractive if you appeared single." But just how private should a relationship be and what happens when people become too good at keeping their relationship private? What happens when a relationship becomes so private that it's a secret.

Our vows were spoken before our hearts had a chance to catch up. Formally, "ARRANGED HEARTS"
