"See, this is exactly why I wish we never met. You came into my life and you just keep shaking everything up!" She stressed, her stomach rumbling with rage. He only stared before his lips twitched into a smirk. "You don't even believe that dumb ass shit." --- She thought running would set her free, but freedom came with a price she wasn't sure she was ready to uphold. She ran from one trap straight into another. Dreams of dancing slip through her fingers when survival forces her into a world she would have to endure. She's dragged into the dark corners of Onyx city and life is nothing as she knew it. Then he appears. A boy who feels different, who makes her believe she might have more to live for than pain. Unfortunately, in the streets nothing is ever as it seems. Every bond comes with secrets, every touch with consequences. And when betrayal cuts deeper than love, she'll learn the hard way what it really means to be slimed out. STARTED; September 18th 2025 PUBLISHED; September 27th 2025

Superstar rapper, Sevyn, has spent the past seven years in the industry going through the motions and removing himself from the impeding doom of street life. His daily struggles prevent him for seeking any form of love. He avoided it like all things that he knew would eventually be taken from him. Kiyanna Cross, successfully built a name for herself in the hair industry without the help of social media. She's been able to keep a low profile and maintain professionalism until she meets the extremely rude and guarded Sevyn. But when he challenges everything she knew about herself and love it's hard not to wonder what more could be.

Brixton Cade and Catalyna Dade were cut from different cloths. He's El Diablo, a ruthless tycoon who put the "Nap" in Naptown. She's a fierce activist with no patience for men like him. But their families had other plans: an arranged marriage, promised decades ago. Now Catalyna must trade her principles for a ring from the devil she despises. One year. One deal. One heir. But when Naptown's king returns with a queen on his arm, hatred sparks into something hotter-something neither of them can control. And the only thing more dangerous than their past... is the passion they can't deny. A marriage of convenience with the ultimate enemy-what could possibly go wrong?

SEQUEL TO THE ART OF MANIPULATION Jonika thought the bullet ended everything-his empire, his hold on her heart, and the man she loved but was forced to betray. She tried to rebuild, to bury the grief under the illusion of a normal life. But grief doesn't stay buried. It claws. It festers. And some ghosts don't stay dead. When fate drags Jonika back into the shadows she thought she'd escaped, she finds herself hunted by the very man she once destroyed. His face is the same, his eyes colder, his love and fury tangled into something she can't escape. Now she doesn't know if he has returned to reclaim her heart... or claim her life.

She's a man-eater with a badge and a body count of broken hearts. As a DEA agent, Jonika's mastered the art of seduction, manipulation, and emotional detachment - using her beauty like a weapon and keeping her feelings locked behind armor no one gets past. But when her mission leads her straight into the arms of a dangerously magnetic man, the game changes. He's charming, calculated, and unknowingly the exact criminal she's been sent to take down. By the time she pieces together who he truly is, he's already slipped past her defenses - touching something real beneath the surface she swore no one would ever reach. Now, with a federal sting operation closing in, Jonika stands on a razor's edge: turn him in and complete the mission... or betray everything she's sworn to protect for the only man who ever made her feel something.

His eyes darted from her eyes to her lips for a split second, he swallowed a lump in his throat as he looked deep into her eyes "You're beautiful" he whispered "Garrel I'm-" "Shhh" he brushed her lips with his thumb "I won't let you speak so low of yourself" his deep voice came out hoarse Her eyes began to dampen Why was he looking at her like that, like she was the only woman to look at for him, like the only woman on earth Why was he doing that, why was he giving her hope of a fantasy that would never come true

In the realm of Xolo stands a powerful queen descending from the royal bloodline of Sejlky whose heart is half-frozen, Queen Carlisiann. With the title comes the bearing of the curse placed upon her people, one that dooms them to the loss of their magic, and makes their beloved home unlivable unless destiny is continuously fulfilled. So to overthrow this curse Queen Carlisiann must walk with destiny as her ancestors have done many time before and marry a Lvaiekian, whose heart is filled with fire.

But, Queen Carlisiann hesitates to follow through with this intended fate because of her desire to marry for love. But when the choice of marrying for the heart is ripped away after she goes unwedded for three years, Queen Carlisiann is now at risk of losing her throne, her people, and their magic, which now leaves her without a choice but to marry a noble Lvaiekian, but what happens when the man that she's supposed to be wedded to has already found his forever in another soul?
