Alaina Saint lives two lives. By day, she's the polite, college-educated daughter with a business degree, a clean Instagram, and parents who think she works a corporate job in downtown Miami. By night, she becomes Sevyn Dior-the club's most requested dancer, a woman who moves like silk and fire, who makes fast money and never lets anyone get close enough to touch her real life. She keeps her worlds separate. She keeps her heart guarded. She keeps her secrets safe. Until Legend Creed walks into her club. He's the biggest name in the city. Hood royalty, kingpin, businessman, and the one man everyone knows not to cross. He doesn't chase women. He doesn't waste time. He doesn't get distracted. But Sevyn Dior? She knocks something loose in him the moment he sees her. Legend wants her real name. Her real voice. Her real life. And Alaina knows better. He's danger wrapped in loyalty. Chaos wrapped in control. A man with power, enemies, and two siblings he'd kill for. She shouldn't want him. She shouldn't trust him. She definitely shouldn't let him in. But Legend Creed is protective in ways she's never experienced, gentle in ways she didn't expect, and obsessed in ways he can't hide. Soon, late-night conversations turn into private dates. Private dates turn into secrets. And secrets turn into feelings neither of them meant to catch. But when a video leaks, jealous exes circle, her parents start asking questions, and the streets remind Legend that love comes with consequences-Alaina learns that loving a kingpin isn't safe. And Legend learns that for the right woman...he'd burn down the whole city.

Kaylani Rivera moves to Las Vegas for a fresh start. New career, new city, new life. No drama. Just peace, cooking, and staying out of trouble. But trouble finds her in the form of Jasai Carter. The man everyone respects. The man everyone fears. The man she didn't know ran half the city. When she gets hired to cook at his best friend's bachelor party, everything changes. Jasai isn't what she expected. He is loud with affection. Bold with jealousy. Dangerous with silence. And very clear about what he wants. Her. Kaylani is used to loving quietly. Jasai loves loudly. And Vegas has never seen a pair like them. He is the risk she should avoid. She is the peace he never knew he needed. But in a city built on bets, secrets, and survival, sometimes the most dangerous move is the one that feels right.

Milan Ren Vaughn and Kairo Benton have spent months turning their apartment hallway into a silent warzone. She's convinced he's loud, messy, and allergic to respecting her peace, while he swears she was born to complain about anything he does. Their neighbors know the tension. Management knows the tension. And Christmas is the only thing keeping the building from falling apart. So when the manager assigns them to co-run the annual Christmas charity event, neither of them takes it well. Still, the holidays won't wait, the toy drive needs saving, and someone has to hang the lights - even if it means working side by side with the one person they can't stand. But as the season settles in, something unexpected begins slipping through the cracks. Late nights of planning feel calmer than they should. Their banter softens. The glow of the holiday lights makes everything seem a little less harsh, and a little more... possible. Moments that should've meant nothing start to feel like something they can't explain. They promised their truce would end after Christmas. But the holidays have a funny way of revealing gifts you never knew you needed - especially when they're wrapped in the person living right next door.

She crosses paths with a man whose charm feels effortless and whose presence feels safe... until the shadows around him start to move. She falls for him quick unaware that he's carrying a life she's never seen - a life stitched together with danger, loyalty, and secrets heavy enough to break anyone who gets too close. As their worlds intertwine, the truth begins to surface in pieces, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew about love, trust, and herself. Their connection is real, undeniable even, but the double life he lives threatens to pull them under. In a story where loyalty twists, danger breathes, and love refuses to let go, one question lingers above all: Will the secrets he hides be the thing that destroys them... or the fire that binds them tighter than they ever imagined?

Solei came to college to get her degree, not lose herself in a man she couldn't have. Books, grades, and minding her business - that was the plan. Until she started slipping in her hardest class and ended up needing extra help from one person she should've stayed far away from. Basim Hart is everything she should avoid - intelligent, composed, and carrying an energy that makes people pay attention without him saying a word. One tutoring session turns into something neither of them can ignore, and suddenly Solei is caught between what's right and what feels too real to walk away from. But there's more to Professor Hart than the campus knows... and Solei starts to feel it long before she understands it. His past. His power. His secrets. All of it shadows the connection growing between them. As lines blur and temptation rises, Solei realizes she might be stepping into something deeper than a forbidden love and lesson - something that could change everything she thought she knew about him... and herself. A quiet girl. A complicated man. A love neither one of them saw coming. Secrets, tension, and danger - but you won't know how deep it goes until you turn the page. 🥇In literature 1/1/26 🥈 In Double Life 12/30/25 🥉Urban Novel 12/30/25
