Hood Love Ain't Safe pulls you straight into the heart of Chicago-where every move counts, love gets tested, and loyalty could cost you everything. Aiyana's doing what she can to stay above water-holding it down for her little sister, minding her business, and trying to stay out of the mess. But when Mina goes missing, Aiyana's thrown into the very life she's been running from. Now the streets are watching, and she's got no choice but to move smart... and move fast. Enter Kamari-quiet, dangerous, and too fine for her own good. He's got his own demons, and the last thing he needs is to catch feelings. But what starts off as protection turns into something deeper, and soon Aiyana's caught between survival and a love that feel too real to let go. Twisted loyalties. Silent wars. Real emotion. Because in this city, love can heal you or ruin you. And one thing's always true: Hood love ain't safe.

Urban Romance | Dallas, TX | Black Love Kai Karter wasn't looking for love - just peace. A 24-year-old single mom, esthetician, and LPN working her way through nursing school, she's finally building a quiet life in Dallas for her and her four-year-old daughter, Regin. After escaping the grip of her abusive, drug-dealing ex, she's focused on healing skin by day and studying late into the night. Soft, sweet, and self-made - but don't get it twisted. She's not the one to play with. Crew "Ace" Princeton has never believed in love. Kingpin of the South, owner of a buzzing barbershop and tattoo lounge, Crew only trusts his money, his Glock, and his day-one, Dice. Loyalty to the streets is the only code he lives by. Women are for pleasure, never peace - and his favorite side piece, Keisha , knows the drill. Emotions? Off-limits. But everything changes when a random grocery store run puts him face-to-face with Kai - and her wide-eyed little girl calling him "Mister with the tattoos ." He's never chased a woman. She's not impressed by his charm . When Crews mom books him an appointment where Kai works unknowingly , Crew walks into the spa for a "facial"... and walks out with something he never expected: interest. Real, inconvenient, soul-tugging interest. Now two guarded hearts from two different worlds are on a slow collision course. But the streets don't let go easy. And neither do exes who still want control. Can a woman who just wants peace love a man born in chaos? Or will their worlds burn before they ever blend?
