She's calm. He's chaos. She stutters when she's nervous. He makes her nervous on purpose. She swore she'd never fall for someone like him. But with every glance, every teasing comment, every time he says her name just to hear her stumble, she starts to wonder if maybe love was never meant to sound perfect. Just honest.

To be her daddy's daughter.

For her & her son, she'll find the strength to let go, love again & rebuild.

"Noelle." He spoke. That was my first time hearing my name off his lips, and I may have lost my cool for the first time in my life. "Now that I say it, you more of a Noelle than a Nikki" he gave a goofy grin.

"why did you fall in love with me?" "Because no matter what happens to us, you always find a way to fix it" just read it,I know you'll love it🤍

Valentina has her life together. She works, she hustles & she stays in her lane, Chicago taught her how to mind her business and protect her peace. He's the kind of man people recognize without introductions. Not because he's loud but because his name carries weight. They come from different sides of the city They weren't supposed to cross paths. But once they do, it's hard to pretend nothing changed. Loving him isn't simple. And in Chicago, nothing ever is. Sincerely, Valentina.

Nyomi isn't that quiet, overlooked girl anymore. She's grown. Confident. Unapologetically in her body-and finally ready to stop running from what she wants. And what she wants? Devin Rogers. The same boy who spent years chasing her attention... is now a rising fashion designer with a brand, a vision-and a dangerous kind of patience. When Devin asks Nyomi to model for him and become the face of his brand, it's supposed to be business. Clean. Simple. Professional. But nothing about the way he looks at her is professional. Nothing about the way he touches her is accidental. And nothing about the tension between them is safe. Because Devin doesn't flirt-he waits. And Nyomi doesn't chase-she tests. Until the line between control and desire disappears completely. Now it's not about if they'll cross it... It's about who's going to break first.

"𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥..." Poet was used to being the second choice. Actually, she was used to not being chosen at all. The girl blended into the background easily, it had always been that way. Sometimes, passion wasn't enough to put you in the spotlight and she was okay with that. Riot had always carried the weight of his mother's ways on his shoulders. He was the oldest son. The protector. The rock. He never would have thought these things to push him closer than ever to his soulmate. Not when he wasn't even sure what he wanted his own love story to look like. Their love was never expected to be but maybe it was supposed to happen that way. 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝟏 𝐎𝐅 '𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄' 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒
