His family frequently begged him to stop his antics and finally settled down,his parents and siblings especially were tired of him bringing home different women most of which were disrespectful The begging only got worse when Angelo became a groomsmen in his cousins wedding,all day they kept on saying 'see how nice this is' or 'this could be you one day' but he wasn't paying no mind to them what he was paying attention to was the gorgeous wedding planner who he thought he'd get no problem 🤗

Marcus moved out of the neighborhood years ago. He got a nice condo in the city, a nice job working with kids. I mean, he can't keep a girl but he was living good. All until his brother ends up in the hospital, bringing him back to the hood and right into a childhood crush he forgot he had.

Deno is unapologetic about how much he loves Tripp. His feelings are loud, obsessive, and impossible to miss, pushing him to extremes just to make Tripp understand that what he feels is real. Tripp refuses to face it. He dismisses Deno's devotion as too much, too intense, convincing himself that whatever exists between them doesn't mean anything at all. When Deno's presence begins to feel distant, something quietly changes. The shift forces Tripp to sit with emotions he's long ignored, revealing that denial can only last so long before the truth demands to be seen.

PRETTY EYES: A Southside Atlanta Story 📍 One night in the Southside changed Keyon Davis Jr.'s life forever. After thirty minutes of yelling at a locked door, he walked into a nightmare he could never unsee: his baby momma gone, and his daughter, Layla, shivering in a dark closet. Now, Keyon is trading his freedom for a two-year bid in DeKalb County Jail. He's not there to make friends or find trouble-he's there to survive and get home to the only girl who matters. But the "Rice Street" system has other plans. In the middle of the noise and the concrete, Keyon finds himself locked in with two men who see right through his "thug" exterior. One is a kingpin with the world at his feet, and the other is a quiet storm with secrets of his own. Between the cold bars and the heat of their gaze, Keyon is about to learn that love doesn't always come in pairs-and sometimes, the prettiest eyes are the ones that finally see your truth. One heart. Three men. Zero rules.

Love lingers like ink pressed deep into skin, a mark you can't wash away, an echo that hums beneath every breath. When rain brings Milo into Sakani's shop one night, two worlds collide: the stillness of someone who's learned to guard his heart, and the restless fire of someone desperate to be truly seen. ENJOY!!

Jersey had always been ten toes behind Pooh Shiesty. From the moment he got locked up, she stayed loyal, holding him down while the world watched from the outside. For her, it was never a question it was always "Free Pooh." And even from behind bars, Pooh made sure Jersey was straight. Bills were paid, she never went without, and he made sure she felt his presence even when he physically couldn't be there. But when freedom finally came, something shifted. The man Jersey had been waiting for didn't come back the same. Pooh became distant, gone all day, moving differently, barely making time for the girl who never left his side. Jersey noticed the change, but at first she brushed it off. Maybe it was the pressure. Maybe it was the lifestyle catching back up to him. Until the whispers started. Rumors began circling that Pooh had been getting close to Aire Jay. What once sounded like noise slowly became too loud to ignore. The late nights, the absence, the energy it all started making sense.

He left a mark I never asked for. Now he wants to finish the piece. Amina Westbrook didn't choose motherhood. But when her younger sister dropped a baby and disappeared, Amina stepped up, raised that little girl as her own, and never looked back. Seven years later, the past comes tatted, cocky, and fine as hell-standing in the grocery store with the same hypnotic eyes her daughter sees in the mirror. Santiago Vega. Zuri's father. The man who left before he ever knew she existed. Now he wants in. He wants time. Forgiveness. A chance to be a father. And every time he shows up with that deep voice and soft smirk, Amina hates how badly she wants to let him. Santiago isn't just showing up for Zuri-he's showing up for her. Fixing things she didn't ask him to fix. Dropping money in her hand like it's his right. Touching her like he already knows how she breaks. Amina's been holding everything together for so long, she doesn't know how to let go. Doesn't know how to want someone who actually stays. But Santiago stays. Through the attitude. The boundaries. The sparks that keep catching fire. And when he finally gets his hands on her? There's nothing soft about it. Now she's spiraling in his sheets, clashing with him in front of her family, and falling harder than she ever meant to. Because Santiago doesn't just want to play daddy. He wants the whole damn family. And this time, he's not leaving until he has them. Ink Don't Lie is a gritty, emotionally charged, standalone romance about second chances, found family, and the kind of love that refuses to walk away.
