Aujani Mitchell has never believed motherhood should depend on whether a man chooses to marry her. At twenty-seven, she has built a life she is proud of-a successful career as a pediatric nurse, financial stability, a close family, and enough love to give the child she has always wanted. After months of researching sperm banks and anonymous donors, Aujani realizes she cannot bring herself to choose a stranger. She wants to know her child's medical history, their family, and the kind of man responsible for half of who they will become. There is only one person she trusts that deeply. Her best friend, Cartier Moore. Cartier has been beside Aujani since fifth grade. They have grown up together, shared clothes, secrets, arguments, firsts, heartbreaks, and every version of themselves in between. He is also a devoted father, a successful businessman, and the one man Aujani knows would never abandon his child. But when she asks Cartier to help her have a baby, he makes one thing clear-he is not interested in being a donor. If they create a child together, he will be the daddy. Five months later, an appointment is booked, their plan is in motion, and the friendship that has survived almost everything begins changing in ways neither of them expected. Morning sickness brings Cartier closer. Late-night cravings become routine. Baby names, tiny clothes, doctor appointments, and quiet moments start feeling far more intimate than friendship should. Cartier falls first. Aujani does not realize she is falling until the man she has known nearly her entire life starts looking at her differently-and she begins looking back.

Every time Dayvon looked at Salem , he was reminded that there was still a small piece of good left inside him. He met her on one of the worst days of his life, fresh out of jail and carrying more anger than he knew what to do with. While everybody else saw a criminal headed nowhere fast, Salem saw a man with busted knuckles who needed help. He'd never understood how an autistic doctor could be so oblivious to who he was. She never feared him. Never judged him. Never treated him any differently than anybody else. One hug from her felt like peace after years of chaos, and somewhere along the way he found himself depending on her more than he should've. That's why he yearned for her the way he did; why he couldn't stay away no matter how hard he tried.She stole his Antidote.

In Without Warning, healing is the journey neither of them expected. Amina is sweet, soft, and tired of being hurt. Elias is cold, distant, and convinced he's better off alone. Both scarred by their pasts. Both afraid to trust again. But God has a way of placing exactly who you need right in front of you-even when you swear you don't want them. Thrown together without warning, Amina and Elias are forced to confront their pain, their faith, and each other. What begins as tension slowly shifts into something real, something healing, something they never saw coming. Sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes it arrives as the very person who challenges you to finally grow.

Four years ago, Jacquel Davis walked away from everything she loved, including Kasada Omarion-the boy next door who became her best friend, first love, and greatest weakness. Now at twenty-one and carrying the guilt she couldn't outrun, Jacquel returns home expecting familiar streets and old memories. Instead, she comes face to face with the man her childhood love has become. No longer the reckless boy with dreams bigger than the neighborhood, Kasada now stands at the center of the city's streets with power, money, and a reputation that keeps both enemies and allies in line. Known for protecting everyone around him while trusting no one himself, he's spent years burying the heartbreak Jacquel left behind beneath violence, loyalty, and control. But Jacquel's return threatens to unravel all of it. Forced back into each other's orbit, old feelings collide with new wounds as unresolved love, buried resentment, and dangerous street politics pull them together in ways neither can stop. And with rivals watching closely, the line between love and destruction quickly begins to blur.
