For her son, she'll find the strength to let go, love again & rebuild.

Kerria Love Anderson is one missed payment away from dropping out of college. Broke, exhausted, and running on caffeine and hope, she takes a babysitting job that's supposed to be simple. It isn't. Dayvon Bennett is a police officer, a widower, and a full-time single father to his baby girl, Alani. His life is routine, quiet, and carefully controlled-built around surviving the loss of his wife, Amani, who died giving birth. Kerria was never meant to become more than help. Dayvon was never meant to let anyone close again. But somewhere between late nights, lullabies, and a toddler who doesn't understand loss, two broken lives begin to intertwine. And the closer they grow, the more dangerous attachment becomes. Because loving again feels like betrayal. And walking away might be the thing that hurts the most.

Harlem nights never sleep-and neither do secrets. When Nevaeh Jordan walks into Rhodes Ink & Fade on a drunken whim, she doesn't expect the quiet, tattooed artist in the back to leave a permanent mark on more than just her skin. Malachi Rhodes is the kind of man who keeps his past buried beneath ink and silence... until her smile starts digging things up. She's the judge's daughter. He's the man that judge once sentenced. And neither of them knows the truth-yet. Some roads lead to healing. Other roads lead to her.

She has everything the world says she should want-money, freedom, a "healthy" relationship- but inside, she feels hollow. Somewhere between punches and pain, she wonders if she can ever find herself again.

Harmonee Jones is the fierce and sophisticated CEO of a multi-million-dollar oil empire, a legacy left to her by her father, Deong. With a sharp mind for business and an eye for luxury, Harmonee lives life on her terms - and that means no distractions, especially not from love. But when Tristan Jordan, the ambitious owner of a fast-growing trucking company, sets his sights on partnering with her firm, he's stunned to discover the powerhouse behind the desk is not the grizzled executive he expected, but the breathtaking and formidable Harmonee. What starts as a business proposal soon blurs the line between power plays and undeniable attraction, challenging both Harmonee's vow to stay single and Tristan's plans to keep things strictly professional.

He was chaos in the shape of a man. And she was the only peace he ever wanted to keep. Kingston "Kash" Vaughn isn't just misunderstood-he's unmedicated, unhinged, and unforgiven. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia after witnessing his mother's murder, Kash walks the line between genius and madness, street legend and broken boy. He doesn't trust people. Doesn't believe in peace. And he damn sure doesn't believe in love. Until her. Rai'Lynn "Rai" Tate is used to saving everybody but herself. As a crisis center worker, she's been trained to handle the darkest minds-but nothing prepares her for Kash. Their connection is magnetic, twisted, and immediate. He sees her, obsesses over her, needs her like air. And the scariest part? She needs him right back. What starts as therapy turns into obsession. Passion turns into control. And love? Love becomes a war. Because when the voices in his head grow louder... She's the only one he'll listen to. But what happens when the thing you love most is the same thing that might destroy you?
