In a world where his freedom is measured in minutes and her reputation is built on rules, the line between supervision and obsession is about to vanish. Forbidden Conviction follows Sevyn Malone, a man recently released from a ten-year sentence, and Luella Reyes, the no-nonsense parole officer assigned to keep him on the straight and narrow. Luella is known for her icy resolve and a perfect track record, but Sevyn isn't the typical criminal she's used to-he's a man framed by the very system she serves. The professional distance between them collapses when Sevyn uncovers evidence of deep-seated corruption within the parole board that puts both of them in jeopardy. Forced to work together outside the law to expose the truth, the two find themselves navigating a dangerous attraction that challenges their ethics and their safety. Luella faces a pivotal choice between her commitment to the rules and her growing belief in Sevyn's innocence, knowing that a single mistake could lead to a permanent loss of freedom for him and a complete downfall for her. The narrative explores whether the source of this corruption stems from within Luella's own department or if it is a secret Sevyn has carried since his time behind bars.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ The TV series "Strippers Need Love Too" follows Ecstasy Haynes, a vivacious Bajan bombshell in Atlanta's most notorious strip scene, determined to turn her stage persona into a real future. At just 23, she wants it all: money, status, and true love. But when a shocking massacre brings chaos to the club and forces its sudden closure, her fast-track to financial freedom is cut short, leaving her scrambling for a new plan in a world that sees her as disposable. Torn between two fascinating men━Diondre Walker, a talented, charismatic entrepreneur with a messy past, and Zeus Garza, a high-profile, Trinidadian male model whose allure is as dangerous as it is irresistible━Ecstasy finds herself walking a thin line between temptation and destruction. Both men want her, and 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 will back down. The deeper she falls, the more her ambition drowns in fixation, betrayal, and 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱. This isn't your average love triangle; it's survival━where every dollar, every dance, and every decision could cost her everything. In a universe where strippers are underestimated and men play dirty, Ecstasy's greatest weapon isn't her beauty... it's her ability to outsmart the game. @GLOSSNEILES ON THE COVER ART.

Benjiman Cartier Gotti, "BG" to the streets, "Benji" to those he cared about, which was slim to none. A young thug at the age of twenty one with a hustler's mentality, killer demeanor, and the game that could make any girl fall in love.

Benji was a go-getter and was determined to do whatever it took to get it, by any means necessary. He strayed to a place that he knew could turn his dirty rags into riches, which is exactly what he did. He knew shit wouldn't be given to him on a silver platter, so he grinded hard for his ticket out until he found himself on top of it all. Just because you started from the bottom, doesn't mean it's where you'll end .. and just because you never had shit, doesn't mean you never will. Benjiman Cartier Gotti was a natural born hustler. Against all odds he came out on top, but at what cost? Vanessa Wright | Copyright ©️ 2019 | All Rights Reserved Author: Vanessa Write | Cover: _tolerated NOT A FAN FICTION.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Nour Delour doesn't chase men. She manufactures them. Shapes their desire with oils, honey, blood, and flame. In her Harlem candle boutique, every scent has a spell, every wick a whisper of old Southern rootwork passed down from women who knew how to make love feel like a fever. So when Rajah Thomas━the ex who ghosted her, walks by her shop window with his new girl on his arm, Nour doesn't cry. She gets even. She carves his name into wax, mixes it with her own essence, then lights the candle her grandmother warned her never to use: the 𝗪𝗮𝘅 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁. It doesn't just draw Rajah back━it 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘴 him. And this time, he returns with wet eyes, trembling hands, and a craving he can't explain. He's starving for her aroma, her skin, her darkness. He says her name like a prayer. Cries when she lets him taste her. Tells her he'll never leave again. But obsession has a cost, and magic always demands balance. As the flame burns lower, Rajah unravels. He starts sleeping outside her door. Sobbing when she doesn't answer. Losing jobs, friends, time. As for Nour? She's not untouched. She's sweating through her sheets. Moaning his name in her sleep. Bleeding from places that shouldn't bleed. The spell has tethered them by more than lust━it's welded their souls into something unnatural, and if she tries to break it, 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. Still, there's a part of her━the part that wanted this━that isn't ready to let go. Because this love? It's not soft. It's not safe. It's 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝘆.
