"You ugly as fuck." I said laughing. "Aye nigga fuck you. When you start liking me tho? Not lil savi like me." He said smiling. "You aggy as fuck. When you was rolling up in the car after you had came and picked me up. It was so random too." I said. "Nigga you caught feelings from watching me lic- yo ass freaky as hell!

Rico Dankworth walked away from the streets with blood on his hands and a vow in his heart-never go back. Now two years out the pen, he's running a mechanic shop, staying low, and rebuilding a life brick by brick. But the ghosts of his past still whisper, and temptation never knocks-it kicks the door in. Tamira Caldwell has the perfect recipe for success: a booming soul food restaurant, a solid circle, and a smile that hides the scars left by a manipulative ex who broke more than just her heart. Love? She's not checking for it. Not until Rico crashes into her world with tattoos, trauma, and a touch that threatens to unravel every wall she's built. Set in the heart of Baywood, Georgia, this is a story of redemption, real love, and the power of choosing yourself even when your past won't let go. Sometimes healing looks like greasy hands and soul food. And sometimes... it sounds like "I see you" from the one person who means it.

"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. ❀ 🝳 ❀

Milan Ren Vaughn and Kairo Benton have spent months turning their apartment hallway into a silent warzone. She's convinced he's loud, messy, and allergic to respecting her peace, while he swears she was born to complain about anything he does. Their neighbors know the tension. Management knows the tension. And Christmas is the only thing keeping the building from falling apart. So when the manager assigns them to co-run the annual Christmas charity event, neither of them takes it well. Still, the holidays won't wait, the toy drive needs saving, and someone has to hang the lights - even if it means working side by side with the one person they can't stand. But as the season settles in, something unexpected begins slipping through the cracks. Late nights of planning feel calmer than they should. Their banter softens. The glow of the holiday lights makes everything seem a little less harsh, and a little more... possible. Moments that should've meant nothing start to feel like something they can't explain. They promised their truce would end after Christmas. But the holidays have a funny way of revealing gifts you never knew you needed - especially when they're wrapped in the person living right next door.
