Sent away and forgotten, Layla's world unravels as she slips into a fragile, childlike state within the cold walls of Castle Dimitrescu. Amid fear and loneliness, the stern Lady Alcina becomes an unlikely guardian, offering quiet protection and gentle care. Together with Alcina's daughters, they forge fragile bonds of trust and comfort in a place where warmth feels impossible-until hope begins to bloom. NO SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS !!!!!

Five years after leaving Detroit behind, Lani, Kash, and their son Egypt settle into a new life in Houston-big house, fresh start, and fewer ghosts from the past. Across the street, Isaiah and Hasan are raising their daughter Saryn, balancing love, family, and the heat of the city. What starts as friendly hellos between neighbors quickly turns into late-night conversations, playful tension, and unexpected sparks. With Kash's possessive streak, Hasan's watchful eyes, and Lani and Isaiah caught somewhere between curiosity and temptation, the neighborhood's about to feel a whole lot smaller. Love, loyalty, and desire all blur together in this messy, funny, and dangerously intimate story about chosen family and the lines we can't help but cross.

Philophobia fear of emotional attachment; fear of being in, or falling in love. This is lowkey a toxic book😫.
