An art thief teams up with an unlikely ally in order to track down a bloodthirsty artist before she becomes the killer's next muse. * * * * * After serving time in a foreign prison for art theft, Kirby McKinley returns home only to be tempted by one last heist. And this time, the job is personal. But the simple heist goes awry when she pushes her luck and runs into the museum's gorgeous artist-in-residence, who is reconstructing a forensic facial sketch from a mysterious skull. Before the two can part ways, they stumble upon the rest of the body, posed as the subject in a painting Kirby knows far too well. More bodies begin to show up in twisted tableaus, entangling Kirby in a murder mystery that forces her to confront secrets that were never buried with her dead ex-girlfriend. But the forensic artist also has a few mysteries of her own and they must work together to track down the killer before Kirby becomes the muse in the final composition.

Anna never thought she'd have a stepfather. She definitely never thought she'd walk in on him touching himself. Now she can't unsee it. And Steve can't pretend nothing happened. What follows is a dangerous pull neither of them meant to feel, a slow unraveling of boundaries inside a house that suddenly feels too small, too hot, and far too forbidden.

When Ayanna is forced into a job working for her parents' trusted college friend, she expects structure-not the quiet pull of a man who sees her more clearly than anyone ever has. Langston, a forty-three-year-old record label owner and divorcé, lives by rules that don't allow desire, especially not for his employee or the daughter of people he respects. As long hours and industry chaos draw them closer, attraction turns into something dangerous neither of them is willing to name. With her parents tightening their grip and her dreams of an artistic life slipping further away, Ayanna must choose between approval and authenticity. For Langston, loving her could cost him his reputation, his principles, and the one line he's sworn never to cross.

Kayla 'Kaykay' Mitchell and Kendric 'Kenny' James could not be more different: different ages, different backgrounds, different schools, different parents, different lives. The worst thing about them was what they DID have in common: their adoptive mother. He can't confront it. She can't deny it. He can't stay away. She can't let go. Tensions are high, life is scarier than ever, and the only people they can trust are the people they can't even turn to: each other. Will being more than friends make them less than family? Will they honor their family bond or give in to forbidden attraction? Can love truly be found under One Roof? -First in #TabooRomance 1/13/2026 & #Diaspora 1/16/2026 -Top 10 in #WillTheyWontThey 1/14/2026, #AfricanAmerican 1/15/2026, & #Grieving 1/19/2026 -Top 25 in #SecretRelationship 1/13/2026 -Top 50 in #ChildhoodSweethearts, #SlowUpdates 1/13/2026; #Black 1/16/2026; #TabooLove 3/23/2026 -Top 75 in #TrueLove 1/13/2026 **WIP: SLOW UPDATES** 'Improper' spelling and grammar only present in dialogue for dialectic purposes; AAVE (African American Vernacular English) is a valid dialect of the English language and should in no way devalue the written works therein.

Mia was an outgoing, foul-mouthed theatre major with a darkness no one could see. Her 'no nonsense' attitude made her a force to be reckoned with, and with her older brother being her only protector, she carried a fire within her that demanded respect. Cameron was an aspiring author; introspective, low spoken, almost introverted. With his own troubling past, he'd tried most days to keep to himself. So when Mia approaches him in class one day, unfazed and lively, he's left wondering how he ever crossed her radar. This is a collection of intimate black tales about these two lovers: their battles, their triumphs, their downfalls, their truths. Their love travels deeper than any ocean, and compared to her still waters, he is a blinding storm. Nothing could ever compare to just how much Cameron LOVES Mia. -Top 3 in #Intimate 7/18/2025 -Top 5 in #Vulnerable 11/6/2025 & 1/14/2026; #Sensual 3/23/2026 -Top 10 in #HealthyRelationship 1/11/2026 & #BlackAuthor 3/23/2026 -Top 25 in #EroticaStories 11/16/2025, #BWBM 1/15/2026, & #BlackPeople 1/16/2026 -Top 50 in #BlackRomance 1/11/2026 -Top 75 in #RomanceStories 11/16/2025 -Top 100 in #Black 11/7/2025, 1/8/2026, & 1/13/2026; #Yearning & #SlowUpdates 1/14/2026 **WIP: SLOW UPDATES** No trauma porn, romanticized abuse, "struggle love," nonconsensual sexual activity, harmful stereotypes, tired tropes, or needless miscommunication for plot sake.

Private investigator Brandie Wells has just received her first official case in months. After her last made the news, forcing her into an unpaid sabbatical, she's just glad to get back to work. Investigating a string of dropped charges on the edge of a small forest town has her curious: why has each charge been dropped within 90 days, and why are they all against the same people? An unforseen journey awaits as Brandie discovers what's so wrong- or better yet, so right- about the town of Obara Falls: who runs it, who loves it, and who feeds its appetite. Will she be consumed like all the rest? Or will she beat her first case? As the saying goes: you catch more butterflies with Blood and Honey. -Top 5 in #Cult 11/16/2025 & #Hemophilia 1/30/2026 -Top 5 in #SecretSocieties 11/17/2025 -Top 10 in #Community 11/16/2025; #Acceptance, #Healthy, #SecretOrganization 11/17/2025; #BloodKink 1/14/2026 -Top 50 in #DarkLove & #BlackPeople 11/16/2025 -Top 75 in #Black 11/16/2025 -Top 100 in #Healing & #Wholesome 11/16/2025 **WIP: SLOW UPDATES** Improper spelling and grammar only present in dialogue for dialectic purposes; AAVE (African American Vernacular English) is a valid dialect of the English language and should in no way devalue the written works therein.

Kane Knox is a fuck em and leave em type of guy, being known for being ruthless and heartless had its advantages. He doesn't have time for relationships, especially when his main focus is getting money. Raven Johnson didn't take shit from anyone, no matter how big or small, she is a firecracker. Moving from Detroit to Los Angeles was a huge change. With her fire attitude and her slick mouth, she was bound to get herself into something she couldn't get her ass out of.
