Angel Reese has sworn off love-especially after two failed relationships and too many men mistaking her softness for weakness. But when she flies to L.A. to visit her best friend, she finds herself at the dinner table of Giovanna Ramos: a drug lord with blood on her hands, a $100M empire, and eyes only for her. Angel might not be gay. She might not even be interested. But Gio has never lost a war-and she's not starting with Angel Reese.

Entangled "She came as a friend... but stayed for someone else." Amara was just tagging along. Her best friend, Gigi, wanted to hang out at her boyfriend Kai Cenat's place - a regular day, nothing deep. Streaming, jokes, energy - all things Amara had seen from a distance but never really cared to be part of. Until she met Ray. Cool, lowkey, and completely unexpected, Ray wasn't loud like Kai or flashy like the crew - but there was something about him that pulled her in instantly. And he felt it too. But things aren't so simple. Kai's protective. Gigi's watching. And Ray? He's off limits... or at least he's supposed to be. In a world where loyalty and feelings don't always line up, Amara finds herself caught between friendship, tension, and a connection too real to ignore.

"I'd do it all over again if it means I get to see you smile."
