Maf Teeski got the money, the fame, and the streets watching every move he make-but behind closed doors, he got secrets that could ruin everything. And Nyla? She might just be his biggest weakness... or his worst mistake.

Laila Brewster didn't need a rapper. She had money before him, motion without him, and standards too high for bare minimum. But then Raymir Moore sat beside her in class, saw the Chanel, the attitude, and the pretty face, then realized she was smart and funny too... and after that, leaving her alone was never really an option. Now BabyfxceRay got fans screaming his name, blogs in his business, and one girl he keep telling the whole world he's obsessed with. And Laila? She just wanted to pass Consumer Behavior.

Rhylin muttered, laying on her bed next to him. He glanced at her. "You so pure." Then he turned his head back toward her again. "You really too fuckin' nice, mama." She frowned, her eyebrows pulling together when he still ain't answer her question. Rolling over onto her stomach, she closed the tiny inch of space separating them. "The way you ignored my question is crazy." She rolled her eyes at him, though the look on her face stayed soft. He chuckled, gently caressing her cheek. "Why you love me so much, ma? Why you with me knowin' hella shi I done did?" She took a few seconds to think before answering, leaning in to kiss his lips first. "'Cause I'm nobody to judge you. God love all of us, no matter what we done or been through. He created us in His image, to reflect His love, grace, and mercy onto others." The more she spoke, the more he felt himself fall for her all over again. She was so well educated and religious without being like them other judgmental church people, (aka her family.) She finished with a grin, "And I love your bowlegged self." A little chuckle left her mouth as he kissed his teeth, passing his hands over her face playfully. "Mane, fuck up." He laughed softly after it.

"Some mistakes are worth making... even if they ruin everything." He was forbidden. Off-limits. The wrong kind of temptation. But when you're living under the same roof, it's only a matter of time before rules shatter, loyalty crumbles, and hearts cross lines they can't uncross. He's packing his bags... but he might be taking my heart with him.

Kason "Khotic" Brewster never planned on living long. At seventeen, he buried both of his parents in the same week. His mother died instantly in a car crash. His father held on just long enough to make Kason promise one thing before he passed. Take care of your brother and sister. So that's exactly what he did. Twelve years later Khotic is the man the streets call when things get ugly. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Everything he does is for the two people depending on him to make it out of the life he's stuck in. He's content with that. Until Beauty Cardwell crashes into his world. Bee is nothing like the women Khotic usually deals with. She's a twenty-five-year-old brain surgeon, a child prodigy who finished school before most people finished learning who they were. She's blunt, literal, and socially awkward in ways people don't always understand. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Bee doesn't believe in pretending to be something she's not. She says exactly what she means. And for some reason... Khotic likes that. What starts as a chance meeting turns into something neither of them expected. Bee sees the man behind Khotic's reputation. The older brother trying to keep his promise. The boy who never got the chance to grieve. And Khotic sees something in Bee that the world keeps missing. But loving a man like Khotic means stepping into a life Bee was never meant to be part of. Enemies. Loyalty. Violence. The kind of danger that doesn't care how smart you are. And Khotic knows one thing for sure. Good girls like Beauty Cardwell aren't supposed to fall for men like him.
