Four years ago, Jacquel Davis walked away from everything she loved, including Kasada Omarion-the boy next door who became her best friend, first love, and greatest weakness. Now at twenty-one and carrying the guilt she couldn't outrun, Jacquel returns home expecting familiar streets and old memories. Instead, she comes face to face with the man her childhood love has become. No longer the reckless boy with dreams bigger than the neighborhood, Kasada now stands at the center of the city's streets with power, money, and a reputation that keeps both enemies and allies in line. Known for protecting everyone around him while trusting no one himself, he's spent years burying the heartbreak Jacquel left behind beneath violence, loyalty, and control. But Jacquel's return threatens to unravel all of it. Forced back into each other's orbit, old feelings collide with new wounds as unresolved love, buried resentment, and dangerous street politics pull them together in ways neither can stop. And with rivals watching closely, the line between love and destruction quickly begins to blur.

He left a mark I never asked for. Now he wants to finish the piece. Amina Westbrook didn't choose motherhood. But when her younger sister dropped a baby and disappeared, Amina stepped up, raised that little girl as her own, and never looked back. Seven years later, the past comes tatted, cocky, and fine as hell-standing in the grocery store with the same hypnotic eyes her daughter sees in the mirror. Santiago Vega. Zuri's father.

*Formerly Known As "Love Has No Boundaries" With Revisions* • • • • • • • • • • • I stood dusting off my jeans,"Aight bruh, I'mma slide." Turning I dapped up one of my closest homies before stepping off the porch. "Aight man, I'll hol at you later." He responded putting out the lit end of his blunt. Remote starting my car, I hopped in deciding to check my phone while the air began to circulate. It was almost summer and it was hot as hell in New Orleans, had me second-guessing settling down here. I checked my messages, but didn't respond to any of them. Then I checked a few missed calls, but didn't return any of them. Lastly, I listened to a few voicemails from unknown numbers before starting to delete them but then my finger paused over one particular name. I never listen to her voicemails. I don't want to hear her voice; it just floods me with guilt and reminds me of my past, a place I don't ever want to visit.

There was a sadness in her tone,"I'm actually not sure why I'm even leaving this message...I've left a million and I still haven't heard from you over the past eight years so I don't know what makes me think this time will be any different." There was shuffling and a bit of silence before she sniffled,"But I miss you." My grip tightened around the phone. "I don't know where you are right now, or if you even still care about me, but I miss you," She cried,"And I really wish you'd come home." She whimpered. "I need you Dre...I don't know if that means much to you, but I need you." Then it ended. I sat in my car, steel gaze, staring at the road ahead. My mind racing but one thing was clear. It was time I went home..
