Khaza is deep in the streets - not the corner-boy type, but the one who sits at the head of the table. Money, guns, people owing him favors... And the Feds finally get close enough to shake him. To look "stable," "domesticated," and "not a violent threat," his lawyer tells him he needs a live-in wife and a clean household to show the court. Enter Milani.

Solai Rousseau has everything she thought she wanted, until returning home reminds her that some feelings never fade. A holiday trip meant to be simple quickly turns into something heavier, old memories resurfacing, familiar chemistry pulling her off balance, and a connection she thought she buried coming back to life. In the soft glow of winter, Solai finds herself drawn toward someone she once knew too well, someone who still knows her in ways she can't seem to outrun. What begins as an unexpected reunion slowly unravels into a journey of warmth, tension, and the quiet kind of longing she's spent years avoiding. Caught between control and desire, she discovers that love can thaw even the coldest heart, but this time, she has to decide whether she's willing to let it.

Naomi Brooks is everything he's not-pure, soft-spoken, raised on hymns and hallelujahs. A church girl with a kind heart and a secret longing for something more. Dave East is everything she's been warned about-ruthless, feared, raised on pain and silence. A man who doesn't beg, doesn't break, and doesn't believe in salvation. But when a quiet prayer crosses paths with a silent war, Naomi becomes the one light in Dave's dark world. And he'll burn it all down to protect her. As their worlds collide, secrets unravel, blood is spilled, and faith is tested. Because some love stories aren't about fairy tales... They're about survival. And when Dave finally uncovers the truth about who killed his mother, love might not be enough to stop him from getting revenge.

[COMPLETE] Nadine and Braxton were not supposed to meet, or ever cross paths. Their worlds were different, yet connected at the same time. But now that they've met, it's not likely that they will ever be the same again. Her, an addict who uses sex and drugs to run from the pain she feels inside. Him, a kingpin so detached from himself that he doesn't know who he is and lacks connection in every way. Finding love in a hopeless place was nearly impossible, but Nadine and Braxton are stronger than either of them think. Trigger Warning⚠️: This story explores harsh themes like self-harm, addiction and drug use, sexual and physical abuse, and violence. I am in no way trying to endorse it romanticize these behaviors.*
