"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. ❀ 🝳 ❀

Elijah Langley never expected life to feel like this. The emptiness. The pressure to stay afloat. The kind of exhaustion that sinks into your bones. He's fading quietly, privately. And lately, letting go feels like the only breath of relief he might ever get. Until something intervenes. Not luck. Not coincidence. A presence. Unseen, but impossibly precise. It redirects him at the exact second he's about to break. It protects him from disasters he never even notices forming. It whispers in ways he can feel, but could never explain. Whatever this presence is, it refuses to let him disappear. It has been sent for him. And it is leading him-slowly, forcefully-back toward Grace. Started: 11/11/25 Ended:

It's wrong, but it's right and I love it.

Blossom lives a double life-by day, she's just another woman trying to survive; by night, she's the star of one of the city's hottest clubs. What no one knows is that she's the daughter of a powerful mafia boss. When Kyrie, a famous rapper with dangerous street ties, spots her, he sees more than beauty-he sees leverage. Kidnapped and forced into his deadly game, Blossom becomes the perfect weapon in Kyrie's plan to bring her father's empire to its knees. But as the lines between captor and captive blur, secrets spill, loyalties shift, and Blossom is forced to choose between the family she thought she knew and the man who might destroy it all.

The Rose that Grew in Evergreen is a cautionary tale of love, loyalty, and survival. It follows twenty-four-year-old nursing student Makayla "Kay" Rose Allen and twenty-eight-year-old Christopher "Chris" Maurice Brown, a notorious drug dealer, as they navigate life and finding love within the concrete borders of the Evergreen Gardens Housing Development. Kay's dream has always been to escape Evergreen and build a life untouched by its chaos. But when her world changes overnight, she begins to wonder if she was ever meant to leave... or if the roots she'd planted were already too deep. "They say nothing good ever grows in Evergreen Gardens... well they just ain't ever seen what bloomed through its cracks..."

Born an illegitimate heir in 17th-century France, an infant Mauricio is smuggled to the New World to erase a royal scandal. Left on the doorstep of a humble cabin in Louisiana, he is taken in by a couple with a secret darker than night itself. They raise him beneath the moonlight, teaching him to live as they do- in the shadows. Centuries pass, and his weariness with humanity grows. Now, under the name Maurice, he walks among mortals as a college student in Massachusetts, studying the very history he lived through. His quiet existence depends on anonymity, until he piques the curiosity of a woman in his European history class. And curiosity, Maurice knows, can end in blood.

When rising photographer Corrianne "Corey" Kennedy lands a career-changing opportunity working for rapper, Maurice "Reese" Brown a.k.a OHB Reese, she never expects to get caught in the undertow of his world - one pulsing with fame, secrets, and danger disguised as luxury. Reese's life looks golden from the outside - hit records, brand deals, and a famous girlfriend, Harper Woods, who's every headline's obsession. But behind the closed doors of RedWood Records, power runs dark, and loyalty comes at a price. When Corey enters his orbit, her honesty and vision shake something loose in him - something he thought he'd lost. What begins as a strictly professional collaboration quickly deepens into a connection neither of them can explain or resist. But fame is a cage with velvet walls, and both Corey and Reese will have to decide what's worth protecting - their careers, their reputations, or the kind of love that could ruin them both. Raw, emotional, and charged with unspoken desire, 'Shooter' peels back the curtain on artistry, ambition, and the thin line between creation and self-destruction.
