Rumi "Rue" Monroe was a girl who grew up too quick and too soon. When her parents died, all she had left was herself, her overworked aunt, and bills they could never quite outrun. Fresh out of a relationship after catching her man in bed with another woman, Rue is exhausted working herself to the bone, drowning in responsibilities, and done with men altogether. She keeps her head down, minding her business, praying life gives her something better than struggle and disappointment. She isn't looking for love, danger, or anything that can break her again. Until she meets him. Nazir "Naz" Creed is the coldest man in the city a quiet storm with a reputation that speaks louder than he ever needs to. Running the streets with his brothers built him an empire people fear and respect in equal measure. Naz moves with precision, loyalty, and violence when necessary, and he's never cared about much outside money, power, and keeping his circle alive. But then he sees Rue. What starts as a chance encounter turns into a collision neither of them can walk away from. Rue's sweetness clashes with Naz's darkness, her broken hope meets his guarded heart, and suddenly the city's coldest man finds himself warming to the one girl who wasn't looking for him in the first place. And the streets? The streets don't like when the wrong people start caring about each other.

Same people, different setting.

"When the world's watching, protecting two hearts gets real." They survived the lies. They chose each other. But love don't come easy-especially when the world's watching. Allure thought peace would come easy once she left her past behind-but nothing about her life is calm now. She's pregnant, popping on magazine covers, and the world suddenly wants more of her than ever. Behind the glitz, though, she's scared. Of change. Of motherhood. Of whether love can really hold steady when everything else is moving fast. Romelo's no longer just her bodyguard-he's about to be a father and the face of a growing security empire. But while he's leveling up, his past is still out there lurking, waiting to pull him back down. And with the spotlight getting hotter on both of them, the pressure to protect what they're building has never been heavier. As their names rise higher and the stakes grow deeper, Allure and Romelo will have to fight for their love-through the whispers, the expectations, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried. Because fame doesn't protect your heart. But maybe love can.

"Look I lost my job today and I'm really not having a good day, and to be quite honest I'm sick of rich fucks like you parading your egos around. So what could you honestly have that could help me!?" I spit out "Come work for my company. I have a position that would be just right for you. You need a job and I need your skills." He retorts with a raised eyebrow. _____________________________________ Trina McMillan is a successful CFO who worked her way up the corporate ladder finally landing a CFO position at her dream company only for her and her entire management team to get fired due to the CEOs temper tantrum after their nasty breakup.

✨ She built a brand. He built a wall. Now they're both learning how to love past the pain. ✨ Allure King is more than a face-she's a force. A world-renowned model and influencer with a multi-million dollar empire built on beauty, resilience, and control. But behind the flawless photos and fierce reputation lies a woman quietly unraveling. After years of loyalty, love, and sacrifice, she finds herself publicly betrayed by the man she gave everything to-NBA star Malik James. Enter Romelo Creed. Fresh out of prison and trying to outrun the shadows of his past, Romelo takes a job protecting Allure... only to find himself drawn to the fire in her spirit, and the sadness in her silence. He's rough around the edges, deadly when necessary, but soft when it matters most. As her bodyguard, he was supposed to protect her from the world. He never expected she'd be the one to save him. What starts as tension turns into trust. What feels like lust begins to blur into something deeper. But Malik isn't finished-his stunts grow bolder, and the past refuses to stay buried. As the media stirs the drama and secrets begin to surface, Allure and Romelo are forced to confront the one thing they've both been avoiding: How do you protect a heart that's never felt safe? Love was never in the plan. But fate doesn't care about plans.
