After five years apart, Ariah Montgomery and Najeer Porter find themselves back in the same city, picking up their friendship where they left off. But as familiar laughs and late-night talks turn into something neither of them expected, they're forced to question if things between them have truly stayed the same, or if something unspoken has been there all along.

After witnessing a shooting that nearly took a boy's life, fifteen-year-old Makena is forever changed. The trauma leaves her silent. To heal, she leaves Chicago behind and moves to California, cutting ties with almost everyone she knew... including the boy she saved. Now, years later, Makena returns to the city that stole her voice. And fate, cruel and romantic as ever, leads her back to Dayvon-the same boy whose pain first shattered her. He's no longer the terrified teen on the pavement, but neither of them have truly healed from that night. This is a story of second chances, broken people clinging to beauty, and a love so fragile it might just break them all over again.

They say true love's the greatest weapon To win the war caused by pain But every diamond has imperfections But my love's too pure to watch it chip away

She's misunderstood but brilliant. He's dangerous but drawn to her mind. When their worlds collide, nothing will ever be the same.

° 29, Kylo Garnett hasn't had the easiest upbringing. Suffering abuse, grief, and abandonment issues at a young age, sadly molded him into the "monster" some would describe him as. But to 28, Dasha Jackson, he was the sweetest person to exist. And shocking as it was, the pair had been glued to the hip since high school, and though many never understood why Dasha wanted to be around or associated with someone like Kylo, due to his rough, street reputation, it never changed the love she had for him.

Nia never got into any trouble, she never hung around the wrong crowd. All she did was focus on school and her future. Until Caine came into her life and made it better in more ways than she ever knew she needed. This is a love story! And don't be frightened by the length. The smut, tension and everything you can think of is THERE. You don't want to miss.

Ve don't smile in pictures. Don't like mirrors either. With acne that feels louder than her voice some days, she learned early how to fade into the background and clown first so nobody could clown her. Then Gwap walked in - gold chain, slick Charger, hood energy heavy - and stared dead at her face like it was art. He don't talk much. Ain't friendly to nobody. But somehow, with her, he's soft. Now Ve's stuck between believing his words or the voice in her head that's been dragging her since middle school. 'Cause loving herself? That was never part of the plan. Not until him.
