Assad knows better than to mix business with pleasure. Cairo is his boss. Untouchable and off limits. Hakeem was supposed to be simple. Easy. Safe. Until the night everything unravels. What Assad thought was just a fling turns complicated when he finds out Hakeem already has a man. A powerful man. A familiar one. Now loyalty, desire, and feelings are tangled together. And when two men who already share everything decide they want him too, Assad has to choose whether he is ready for something bigger or ready to walk away before it costs him everything.

Dayvon and Kentrell arrive at their annual marriage retreat with their friends Herbert and Bryson, and Dominique and Horace, expecting a peaceful getaway meant to help them rebuild and reconnect. But what starts as structured sessions and quiet reflection quickly unravels as tension builds between all three couples. Old wounds resurface, hidden resentment comes out in subtle arguments, and secrets begin slipping through during group activities and private moments. As the retreat continues, each relationship is forced to confront truths they've been avoiding, turning what was meant to be healing into an emotional rollercoaster none of them are prepared for. With every session, the line between love and resentment starts to blur. What was meant to fix their marriages instead exposes just how fragile each of them really is, and by the end of the retreat, none of the couples will leave the same way they came in.

sincere brooks is used to people making assumptions about him. they see his makeup, his nails, the way he loves anything feminine, and decide they already know who he is. but sincere doesn't care. between helping out in a 1st grade disability classroom, doing hair on the side, and trying to survive his senior year, he has bigger things to worry about. like graduating. nasir woods has his own problems. his music is finally taking off, his followers are growing every day, and everyone expects him to become the next big rapper from the city. with tattoos, confidence, and a reputation that follows him everywhere, nasir seems like he has everything figured out. he doesn't. when a fake relationship is suggested to help boost nasir's image before the release of his first mixtape, sincere agrees to help. it should've been simple. a few pictures. a few dates. a few convincing captions. that's it. but the longer they pretend to be together, the harder it becomes to separate what's real from what's fake. because somewhere between late-night phone calls, shared secrets, and stolen glances, sincere starts falling for the one person he was never supposed to. and if he's not careful, project: pretty might end up breaking more than just the rules.

The problem is the one person Malachi ends up breaking his own rules with is Darius. It's supposed to be simple-no feelings, no strings, and Shawn can never find out.

In this city, blood is currency. The streets don't forgive, and they certainly don't forget. "Ah got you, pa," Kaelen whispered his chin resting on julian's head "Ain't nobody ever gonna hurt you again."

Gangsters Don't Fall In Love... Right? Malachi is ruthless, feared, and untouchable gang leader who doesn't believe in love, loyalty, or second chances. Elijah is everything he hates: spoiled, reckless, and dangerously emotional, with an attitude that gets him into more trouble than money can fix. They were never supposed to cross paths. And they definitely weren't supposed to keep coming back to each other. But when secrets unravel and bloodlines are exposed, Elijah becomes more than just a problem-he becomes a threat. In a world of power, pride, and violence... falling for the enemy might be the most dangerous mistake of all.
