She was broken, pregnant, and abandoned. He was grumpy, guarded, and done with love. But somehow, they became each other's safe place. When Amiyah Le'Rae Vynter's abusive ex finds out she's pregnant, he does the cruelest thing he can-kicks her out, leaving her homeless and heartbroken with nowhere to go. Carrying a child she didn't ask for but already loves, Amiyah vows to do everything on her own...until a caramel-skinned, tattooed stranger with a permanent scowl changes everything. Cassian Rhyse Holloway doesn't do relationships, and he definitely doesn't do drama. But when he sees a shivering, pregnant woman at a bus stop in the middle of the night, something inside him snaps. He takes her in, promising himself it's only temporary. Yet, the more he's around her-the late-night conversations, her soft laughter, the way his big hands fit over her growing belly-the harder it is to keep his distance. He's grumpy, overprotective, and quick to threaten anyone who even looks at her wrong. She's sweet, vulnerable, but stronger than she gives herself credit for. Together, they're messy, complicated, and falling for each other in ways neither expected. But when Amiyah's toxic ex tries to crawl back into her life, Cassian has to prove that he's not just her shelter-he's the man who's ready to love her and the baby she's carrying, no matter what.

All she wanted was one night. Serenity Monet is young, rich, and successful-but none of that keeps the late-night loneliness away. She's done being the good girl. Done pretending she's satisfied. One night, tired of the silence and her own touch, she slips into a nightclub with one goal in mind: find someone, take him home, and forget about everything else. What she doesn't expect... is him. Malik Cross is smooth, hood-rich, and dangerously magnetic. Their conversation is easy. Their chemistry? Instant. Serenity takes him home that night thinking it's nothing more than a steamy escape from her boredom. But Malik? He's been waiting for this moment. Because Serenity isn't just a stranger at the club. She's his obsession. His fantasy. The woman he's been watching from afar for months. And now that he's finally inside her world, he has no plans of leaving. She wanted one night. He wants forever. Even if he has to take it by force.
