Kay never planned to fall in love. She's a bartender who minds her business, keeps her head down, and understands that some men come with silence instead of promises. Rome Brewster is one of those men. He's charming, romantic, and dangerous in a way that doesn't need explaining. He shows up. He stays late. He learns her routines without asking permission. He doesn't offer forever-just consistency, protection, and a presence that feels too rare to ignore. What starts as quiet attraction turns into something deeper. Something chosen. Something neither of them names out loud. This isn't a story about being saved. It's about loving someone as they are. About wanting without ownership. About choosing the moment even when you know it won't last forever. Some loves don't come to stay. They come to change you.

He wants to love her loudly. She's scared to believe she deserves it. Some love isn't light. Some love is felt in the bones. This is The Weight of Love.

Raixen knows loneliness better than most. His life is routine, quiet, and empty - by design. He never asked for hope. Never believed in love. Never thought happiness would recognize him. But a little girl claimed him as her father, and a black beauty stepped into his life and showed him what it means to be chosen - fully, deeply, and without fear. A NOVEL by ORIGINAL NUNU **CURRENTLY EDITING CHAPTERS** SLOWLY.

Milan Harper Brooks, 21, is in her junior year at Kingston A&M University, still recovering from a nasty breakup that left her guarded and done with love. After everything she went through last school year, she made herself a promise: no more distractions, no more getting attached, and definitely no more men. Her focus is on herself, her degree, and turning her junior year into something beautiful-starting with her space, her peace, and her future. Zion Avery Beaumont, 22, is a senior and the star basketball player of Kingston A&M University in Maribel, Georgia. Campus royalty with NBA dreams in his back pocket, Zion has only two goals on his mind: graduate and get drafted. Relationships were never part of the plan. Love was a risk he didn't have time for, and distractions could cost him everything he worked for. Neither of them were searching for anything more than survival and success. But when Milan unexpectedly captures the attention of the school's most treasured basketball star, it sends shockwaves through campus and sparks neither of them were prepared for. What starts as curiosity quickly turns into something deeper, something dangerous, something hard to walk away from. With fame comes pressure. With love comes risk. Can Milan handle Zion's world, the attention, the rumors, and the lifestyle that comes with loving a man everyone wants? Can Zion protect what they're building while chasing a future that could take him far from everything he knows? And when Milan's past refuses to stay buried, will love be enough to hold them together? Find out in Love Without a Safety Net by Tt_The_Bae

Kason "Khotic" Brewster never planned on living long. At seventeen, he buried both of his parents in the same week. His mother died instantly in a car crash. His father held on just long enough to make Kason promise one thing before he passed. Take care of your brother and sister. So that's exactly what he did. Twelve years later Khotic is the man the streets call when things get ugly. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Everything he does is for the two people depending on him to make it out of the life he's stuck in. He's content with that. Until Beauty Cardwell crashes into his world. Bee is nothing like the women Khotic usually deals with. She's a twenty-five-year-old brain surgeon, a child prodigy who finished school before most people finished learning who they were. She's blunt, literal, and socially awkward in ways people don't always understand. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Bee doesn't believe in pretending to be something she's not. She says exactly what she means. And for some reason... Khotic likes that. What starts as a chance meeting turns into something neither of them expected. Bee sees the man behind Khotic's reputation. The older brother trying to keep his promise. The boy who never got the chance to grieve. And Khotic sees something in Bee that the world keeps missing. But loving a man like Khotic means stepping into a life Bee was never meant to be part of. Enemies. Loyalty. Violence. The kind of danger that doesn't care how smart you are. And Khotic knows one thing for sure. Good girls like Beauty Cardwell aren't supposed to fall for men like him.

He don't talk much. He don't smile either. But when Dre "Ghost" Carter sees Jade for the first time, words ain't even necessary - the look in his eyes says it all: she's his. Dre runs the streets in silence - no noise, no witnesses, no mercy. The kind of man people whisper about but never dare to cross. Jade? She's not from that world. She's quiet, funny, the type who minds her business and stays out the way. Until her best friend drags her to a party that changes everything. One stare across that smoky room, and the most dangerous man in the city decides she belongs to him. Jade swears she's not the "ride or die" type... but Dre's pull feels different. Possessive. Addictive. The kind of love that burns slow - and might just destroy them both. Because in his world, silence can kill... and love can too.
