He was chaos in the shape of a man. And she was the only peace he ever wanted to keep. Kingston "Kash" Vaughn isn't just misunderstood-he's unmedicated, unhinged, and unforgiven. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia after witnessing his mother's murder, Kash walks the line between genius and madness, street legend and broken boy. He doesn't trust people. Doesn't believe in peace. And he damn sure doesn't believe in love. Until her. Rai'Lynn "Rai" Tate is used to saving everybody but herself. As a crisis center worker, she's been trained to handle the darkest minds-but nothing prepares her for Kash. Their connection is magnetic, twisted, and immediate. He sees her, obsesses over her, needs her like air. And the scariest part? She needs him right back. What starts as therapy turns into obsession. Passion turns into control. And love? Love becomes a war. Because when the voices in his head grow louder... She's the only one he'll listen to. But what happens when the thing you love most is the same thing that might destroy you?

Ex lovers sometimes find their way back to each other, not out of habit, but because time has softened the edges that once pushed them apart. They return wiser, carrying lessons etched into their hearts, craving a familiar warmth they struggled to replace. What once caused pain now offers clarity, and together they discover that peace of mind isn't the absence of conflict, but the presence of a love they finally know how to hold.

When a self-made beauty boss tries to leave her toxic past behind, she crosses paths with New York's most feared kingpin who's already decided she'll be his, whether she's ready or not.

Isys never planned on starting over alone. After the passing of her son's father, the young single mom has learned to move in silence, trust no one, and keep her world small just her 5 year old son Kyser, her brushes, and her job as a makeup artist. Between juggling clients and dealing with her overprotective (and annoying) older brother Kamal, romance is the last thing on her mind... until she crosses path with Kai. Kai, a calm but confident tech CEO with a legacy to uphold, sees something in Isys she doesn't see in herself.... stregth, softness, and a heart worth fighting for. He wants more than her smile, more than her time.... he wants a chance. But trust again feels dangerous. Loving again feels impossible. And Kai might be everything she need if she's willing to let him in.

A Don with no concept of what love entails stubbles upon a Nurse who sets his heart straight.
