"We ain't out here shaking ass for no reason. Everybody's got a story." 18+ MATURE READERS ONLY

Fourteen summers ago, two families became neighbours by chance and a spark was ignited instantly. Every summer thereafter brought winds of change. Friendships bloomed. Hearts tangled. Lines blurred. Some summers brought sunshine. Others brought storms. Fourteen years later, one summer will change everything. Forever.

❝You can go fuck yourself, 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭.❞ The young man scoffs, a bitter laugh trailing from his lips as he lazily eyes her barely clothed figure, his cold eyes only showing an ounce of interest, a miniscule speck of desire. ❝Now why would I do that when I have 𝐲𝐨𝐮 here?❞ ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ What happens when the hot, rich, and very complicated All-Star football player cross paths with a dancer who makes him question it all? 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝟎𝟒/𝟏𝟓/𝟐𝟓

After moving to Chicago to start a new life, Sveya isn't looking for nothing beyond a fresh start. Between church, school, and learning how to exist without losing herself, her life feels limited...until she meets Solomon.

Imani Reed came back to the streets she once fled, opening a ballet studio to give young girls the hope she fought to find. But when Marcus Carter-her past, his danger-reenters her life, love, trust, and secrets collide. In a city that never forgets, can they protect what matters most-and survive the steps that could break them both?

She never meant to fall for him. And she never meant to be his. What starts as harmless flirting turns into late nights, stolen moments, and feelings that blur every line she promised herself she wouldn't cross. But when the truth finally surfaces, when love is exposed, loyalty is questioned, and secrets refuse to stay buried. Aaliyah is forced to face the one thing she never prepared for: losing something she thought she never had. Because some people don't belong to you... even when they feel like home.
