Ja'Lani Banks. David Jr. started 3.17.2020 "That smile on your face makes it easy to trust you..."

When two worlds collide, boundaries blur, and sparks ignite. Ariana never expected a simple night out with friends to change her life. But when her path crosses with Dave, the enigmatic and successful owner of the city's hottest nightclub, their connection is instant and undeniable. What begins as a fleeting glance across a crowded room soon spirals into a night neither of them can forget. But Dave's life is far from simple. Behind his charming exterior lies a man juggling responsibilities-a thriving business, a long-term girlfriend, Millie, and a young daughter, Kiari. Torn between his commitment to his family and the magnetic pull he feels toward Ariana, Dave finds himself at a crossroads where temptation and loyalty clash. As their worlds intertwine, secrets are revealed, choices are questioned, and lives are forever changed. Can Dave resist the allure of a new beginning with Ariana, or will temptation lead them both down a path they can't return from? Temptation is a story of passion, conflict, and the undeniable chemistry that defies expectations, exploring the fragile line between right and wrong.

"In his world, silence is law." Ari Walker built her career on justice. As a sharp, principled criminal defense lawyer, she's sworn to never let another killer walk free-not after the man who murdered her brother escaped without consequence. Ari doesn't bend the rules. She doesn't take shortcuts. And she definitely doesn't get involved with criminals. Until he walks into her life. They call him The Midnight. A ghost in the streets. A myth whispered in fear. Ruthless, calculating, and untouchable, Dave rules an empire hidden beneath the city's surface-one built on power, loyalty, and blood. No one sees him. No one speaks his name. And when he wants something, he gets it. And now, he wants Ari. Drawn into a world she's spent her life fighting against, Ari must decide where her loyalties lie-between the law she's sworn to uphold, and the man who makes her question everything she believes. But secrets have consequences, and the deeper she falls for Dave, the closer she gets to a truth that could destroy them both. Because in his world... There are no second chances. No forgiveness. And absolutely- No Witnesses.

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.

Sequel to First & Only

Not everybody is meant for this love shit.

August Smith has survived by following orders and trusting procedure. As a decorated intelligence operative, she understands that discipline is the difference between control and chaos, life and death. Her world is built on classified files, sealed missions, and emotional distance. Fraternization is forbidden. Curiosity is dangerous. Feelings are a liability she cannot afford. Carter Bernard is power wrapped in uniform-high-ranking, precise, and untouchable. His authority extends beyond rank into operations that never reach official reports. When August is placed under his command as a protected asset, the rules become harder to define. He is not supposed to look at her twice. She is not supposed to react when he does. But every briefing tightens the space between command and compromise. As missions escalate and secrets stack higher, the line between handler and asset fractures. What begins as controlled proximity turns volatile, threatening careers, clearances, and lives. In a system built to eliminate emotional risk, August and Carter must decide what's more dangerous: breaking protocol, or obeying it. Because in this chain of command, love isn't just forbidden. It's disqualifying.

(U-net-a) CURRENTLY EDITING I started writing this book back in 2019 during the pandemic (COVID19)out of pure boredom and I was trying to upload as quickly as possible to keep the readers then entertained. Rushing each chapter without proof reading. I will try to edit the whole book within a few months. EWNETA did well over the years and I would like to think it is still doing well and would have done even better without the grammatical errors, etc. Editing started: Expected date to end:

** DISCONTINUED ** I'm not good at these so just read 🤪! S/n : excuse any mistakes.. I'll fix them soon. ( I only fixed the mistakes up to chapter five) Started : May 2020 ** DISCONTINUED ** Cover credits : @trenchlordtales
