Nyezi Bhengu has built her career and life around being a wife. For years, her identity was tethered to her husband - as the "Real Housewife of Durban", "umfazi kaBafo", and "uNyezi kaSmiso". His sudden death upends Nyezi's life when, bound by isiko lokungenwa, she is forced to marry his older brother, Mnisi. Mnisiwokuhle Bhengu has a personality very few would describe as "lighting up a room". Reserved, and perpetually serious to the point of appearing cold, where Smiso was the life of the party, Mnisi is the brooding figure who leaves just as the fun begins. He wears detachment like armour, keeping himself unapproachable and at a distance from everyone - especially Nyezi. Forced into a union they're both less than glad to find themselves in, will forced proximity be enough to break down the walls Mnisi has so carefully constructed, or will tradition condemn them into a loveless arrangement they cannot escape?

"Cause if you choose to stay Just know it won't be easy We might lose the world tonight But at least we'll have each other"

Two souls - Amlani and Nkosiyabo - drawn to each other by a love older than time and wider than all oceans. A connection too deep for words - and too mysterious to be safe. Some loves bloom. Theirs awakens.

"Solè, why'd you stay?" "Because, Zaire... you the first thing that ever felt worth staying for." ❀ 🝳 ❀ Harlem held the noise. Solè gave Zaire the quiet. Zaire Knox, Harlem's quiet storm, known for his ties to the streets and a gaze that read people faster than they could lie to him. Respected. Feared. Loved. With scars buried deeper than his tattoos, he never planned to love soft. Until a Harlem vinyl shop left behind by his late grandfather forces him to slow down, to breathe, to find his real purpose in the world beyond the streets. Solè Sinclair, soft but unbreakable, raised by her father after loss. By day, she serves warmth behind the counter of a café. By night, she disappears into her art, trying to paint the parts of herself no one ever sees. When their worlds cross, the city shifts. What starts off tense and unexpected turns tender. Together, they learn love can hold you just as fierce as the streets ever did, and softer, too. But love in Harlem always asks one question: what are you willing to risk when the heart wants more than the streets ever offered? A Harlem story. A hood love. A soft place to land. ❀ 🝳 ❀
