Blaise has mastered the art of keeping people at a distance. At twenty-three, her life is simple or at least that's how she likes it. She works at a local skate shop, spends her free time getting high, losing herself in video games, and finds more comfort in her pet snake than she does in most people. Beneath the laid back nerdy exterior is a girl carrying wounds she refuses to let anyone touch. Ever since eleventh grade nothing had been the same for Blaise. Keese already has two girlfriends, a relationship he's convinced himself and others is everything he could ever want. Lately, something feels missing. After crossing paths with Blaise, he becomes intrigued by the girl who seems completely uninterested in being figured out. The more he learns about her, the more convinced he becomes that she could be the missing piece in his life. There's just one problem: Blaise wants no part of sharing a man. What starts as Keese trying to pull Blaise into a life she never asked for quickly becomes something neither of them expected. Blaise challenges everything he thought he wanted, while Keese slowly discovers that the girl he thought he could fit into his world might be the one forcing him to question it. Sometimes the person who wants nothing to do with you is the person who changes everything. STARTED ; JULY 5th, 2026 PUBLISHED ; AUGUST 11th, 2026

"She never asked to be chosen second. He never asked to love soft." Ka'Lani Simone Harris spent her whole life watching boys pick her brownskin twin, Imani, first. Every text, every glance, every "you cute but..." - it all ended the same. But when Juelz Amir Thompson steps into her world - quiet, tattooed, hood-smart, and realer than any man she's known - he flips her entire mindset. Only... Ka'Lani ain't sure if he really sees her, or just another shadow of her sister. Juelz got demons. A past that moves quiet but dangerous. And love? That shit was never part of the plan. But Ka'Lani pulls something out of him nobody's ever touched - not his exes, not his block, not even his blood. Now the city watching. Girls throwing shade. Secrets resurfacing. And his enemies? They don't like seeing him soft. But love like this? Ain't soft. It's bold. It's bruised. And it refuses to be background. This ain't no fairytale. This is hood love
