Kason "Khotic" Brewster never planned on living long. At seventeen, he buried both of his parents in the same week. His mother died instantly in a car crash. His father held on just long enough to make Kason promise one thing before he passed. Take care of your brother and sister. So that's exactly what he did. Twelve years later Khotic is the man the streets call when things get ugly. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Everything he does is for the two people depending on him to make it out of the life he's stuck in. He's content with that. Until Beauty Cardwell crashes into his world. Bee is nothing like the women Khotic usually deals with. She's a twenty-five-year-old brain surgeon, a child prodigy who finished school before most people finished learning who they were. She's blunt, literal, and socially awkward in ways people don't always understand. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Bee doesn't believe in pretending to be something she's not. She says exactly what she means. And for some reason... Khotic likes that. What starts as a chance meeting turns into something neither of them expected. Bee sees the man behind Khotic's reputation. The older brother trying to keep his promise. The boy who never got the chance to grieve. And Khotic sees something in Bee that the world keeps missing. But loving a man like Khotic means stepping into a life Bee was never meant to be part of. Enemies. Loyalty. Violence. The kind of danger that doesn't care how smart you are. And Khotic knows one thing for sure. Good girls like Beauty Cardwell aren't supposed to fall for men like him.

Reentry Case 007: Male, 37, assault with intent to kill, parole conditions strict. Not to be left alone with female staff.

After moving to Chicago to start a new life, Sveya isn't looking for nothing beyond a fresh start. Between church, school, and learning how to exist without losing herself, her life feels limited...until she meets Solomon.

Indigo Walker built her career on control. Soft-spoken, brilliant, and emotionally disciplined, she specializes in treating the kinds of minds most people avoid. Her life is structured, her relationship is stable, and her boundaries are ironclad. Then Luv Carter walks into her office. Street-smart. Charming. Volatile. A man with money, power, and a mind that never stops moving. He voluntarily checks himself into treatment after a violent incident that should have destroyed his reputation. Officially, he's there to get help. Unofficially, he's studying her. What begins as routine therapy becomes a quiet psychological chess match. Every session blurs the line between doctor and patient, observation and obsession. Indigo thinks she understands manipulation. Luv knows how to stay ten steps ahead. And the deeper they go, the more dangerous the connection becomes. Because some minds aren't meant to be untangled. And some boundaries aren't meant to survive.

Amaris moving to Chicago with her brother starting her new college life and gets tangled up in a life of secrets

discontinued!

Lena thought she was doing the right thing when she broke up with Que, the love of her life, just days before heading off to college. After all, they were headed in two different directions-she was focused on building a future, and he was tied to the streets, living a dangerous but lucrative life. But everything changes when Lena finds out she's pregnant with Que's baby, and he's nowhere to be found. Despite her efforts to reach out, Que refuses to respond, still hurt by the breakup. Now, Lena is starting a new life in a new state, carrying a secret that will change both of their lives forever. As Lena tries to move forward and focus on her future, she can't shake the past-or the love she still feels for Que. But when Que finally learns about the baby, he shows up ready to claim what's his. Will their unresolved feelings pull them back together, or is the damage too deep for them to ever find their way back to each other?

She arrives in the city, believing distance could keep her untouched. He arrived unconscious, his future already alternated. What connects them is never named, or felt formed in silence, restraint, and moments that were never supposed to happen. This is a story about loss, proximity, and what happens when feelings become unavoidable. © 𝟤𝟢𝟤𝟨 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐋𝐈
