If You Ever Kept A Secret From The One You love, This Is What It Feels Like...

Keona Brooks swore she'd never get caught up with a man from the streets again. Cold, independent, and building her own come-up, she promised herself she'd keep her distance from the chaos, the guns, the trap life that already took too much from her. But then there's Kai Jones. The kind of man who makes the hood bow when he steps out. Six-foot-three, tattoos telling stories of blood and loyalty, a voice that commands respect, and eyes that never ask-they take. Keona knew better. Kai didn't care. What starts as tension between a woman who refuses to be owned and a man who doesn't know how to let go spirals into something addictive, messy, and dangerous. Between late-night shootouts, whispered threats, and a passion too raw to tame, Keona finds herself drowning in the very thing she swore she'd never touch again. In his world, love isn't soft. It's possession. It's fire. And walking away might be the only thing deadlier than staying.

𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 was the kind of girl who followed the rules; soft hearted, quiet, and careful with who she let in. 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐥 "𝐒𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤" 𝐑𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 was the reason people locked their doors at night; charming, feared, and loyal to a world he'd belong to. What started as something simple turned into something raw, all consuming, and unforgettable. He gave her a taste of danger. She gave him something to protect. But love in their world doesn't come easy. Especially when a thorn meets a rose. 🥇 in bwhm -06/16/25 🥇 in hoodromance- 06/19/25 🥉 in urbanromance- 06/21/25 🥇 in urban- 06/22/25 🥇 in thug- 12/3/25

Two guarded souls who recognize the ache in each other, trying not to fall too hard but drawn together anyway. Their love simmers beneath the surface-fierce, quiet, and complicated.
