With his life dedicated to the streets, Fetti didn't have time nor the energy for anything else. Determined, cold, and calculated described him when it came to how he moved getting money. He had it all. That is until life took an unexpected turn leaving him to face the consequences. The only thing on Zaytona mind is taking care of his daughter and getting money. But with living in two different states and dealing with a baby mama from hell, it's hard for him to be the good father he's desperately trying to be. When the two worlds collide, things get a little bit messy and very hostile.

Azir Creed inherited more than power when his father, Azion Creed, took his last breath. He inherited a name built on blood, fear, and loyalty, along with one final demand: marry the woman chosen for him to secure the Creed legacy. But Azir lives by his own rules, never staying in the same bed twice and refusing to give up the bachelor life for a marriage he never asked for. Then he meets his supposed wife, and walking away stops feeling so simple. Roxanne St. James was never raised to be soft. After her older brother's death, she became the sole heir to her father's empire, trained to protect herself, run a business, and command men who thought power belonged only to them. When her father proposes a marriage alliance with the Creed family, Roxanne agrees out of obligation, expecting nothing more than a cold business arrangement. What she gets is Azir Creed. Their marriage is not love at first sight. It is war, temptation, pride, and power colliding under one roof. Azir refuses to be controlled, and Roxanne was born to make men kneel. But in a world where family names are protected with blood and loyalty is tested through violence, neither of them can afford to back down. Before the Creed brothers became legends, there was Azir and Roxanne: the toxic beginning of the dynasty, and the love story that built the Creed name. (This novella can be read before or after the Creed Family Ties series, but is best read first.)

Rumi "Rue" Monroe was a girl who grew up too quick and too soon. When her parents died, all she had left was herself, her overworked aunt, and bills they could never quite outrun. Fresh out of a relationship after catching her man in bed with another woman, Rue is exhausted working herself to the bone, drowning in responsibilities, and done with men altogether. She keeps her head down, minding her business, praying life gives her something better than struggle and disappointment. She isn't looking for love, danger, or anything that can break her again. Until she meets him. Nazir "Naz" Creed is the coldest man in the city a quiet storm with a reputation that speaks louder than he ever needs to. Running the streets with his brothers built him an empire people fear and respect in equal measure. Naz moves with precision, loyalty, and violence when necessary, and he's never cared about much outside money, power, and keeping his circle alive. But then he sees Rue. What starts as a chance encounter turns into a collision neither of them can walk away from. Rue's sweetness clashes with Naz's darkness, her broken hope meets his guarded heart, and suddenly the city's coldest man finds himself warming to the one girl who wasn't looking for him in the first place. And the streets? The streets don't like when the wrong people start caring about each other.

Samir Johnson has seen it all, survived it all, and buried more than most men could carry. To the world, he is the polished face of a multimillion-dollar tech company, a quiet, cold-hearted visionary with money, power, and control wrapped neatly in a designer suit. But behind the scenes, Samir is known as Saint, and in the streets he rules alongside his best friend Elijah, better known as Bishop. Calculating, distant, and feared, Samir has built a life that looks solid from the outside while everything beneath it quietly rots. After losing his fiancée and unborn daughter in a tragic car crash, then losing his mother not long after, grief hollowed him out in ways no amount of money and power could fix. Love feels like something he no longer deserves, and with his mind caught in a constant war between living and letting go, Samir has been spiraling for longer than anyone knows. Stationed in Atlanta with his brothers, he makes one final attempt to find peace by turning toward the church, hoping maybe God can reach a place in him nobody else has. Then he meets her, and everything changes. Harmoni Sinclair has always belonged to the church. Raised by a devoted pastor, she grew up with faith woven into her bones and carried that strength with her into adulthood. She remained active in the church as a Sunday school teacher while also building a life as a preschool teacher, believing in kindness, purpose, and the kind of love that feels safe. It was there she met her husband, and what began as something beautiful ended in heartbreak when a robbery gone wrong stole him from her life. Four years later, Harmoni is still carrying grief that never fully loosened its grip, trying every day to find the light at the end of a tunnel that seems to stretch on forever. Then she meets Samir, a man burdened by ghosts, silence, and pain so heavy. What begins as two broken people standing in the wreckage of their separate losses unfolds into something unexpected, healing and beautiful.

The beautiful and fearless Dr. Monique Lathan's love of animals is the reason for her choice in occupation. Her career is rewarding, but her love life is mundane...that's until Monique becomes the obsession of a different kind of animal she's never heard of nor can control.

Crown & Concrete By Kaylaxo Old money built the name. Survival rebuilt the legacy. The Valenti family is known for power, culture, and quiet dominance. From a luxury penthouse overlooking the city to a five-star Caribbean fusion restaurant born from a mother's long-forgotten dream, everything they touch turns into empire. Romeo Valenti built his success without asking for help. He believes in provision, not promises. In loyalty, not love. His world is controlled, curated, and carefully detached. Until one night changes the energy. Amara has never chased anyone - not affection, not closure, not permanence. After a childhood shaped by abandonment and survival, she learned one rule early: if people want you, they stay. When their worlds collide, something shifts. Around them, loyalties tighten. Old wounds resurface. Secrets linger in silence. And love - the one thing no one planned for - begins to test the foundation of everything built from concrete. Because legacy isn't just inherited. It's earned.

Still suffocating in a dead-end job and left reeling after her toxic ex-boyfriend's betrayal. Rock bottom is grim, until rescue comes from the last man she expects: Juda Walker. Juda used to be her stepbrother. Sort of. Their parents' mess of a relationship ended years ago, but the boy who once shared her room every other weekend is now a single dad with a farm, a construction company, and a guest room he won't let her refuse. It should be simple. She needs a place to land. He needs help around the property. The whole town already thinks they're family, and they've always been friends. But early morning chores and home-cooked meals feel different now. His hands linger where they shouldn't. The new life Sully's building under his roof is starting to feel less like a pit stop and more like the home she's been aching for. And for a girl who's been left by everyone she's ever loved, giving in to the storm brewing between them is not taking a chance: It's falling off a cliff.

Then I met Caleb Calhoun. He's forty-four, runs the biggest ranch in Montana, and looks at me like I'm a natural disaster waiting to happen. He values order, discipline, and respect. I drive a rusted El Camino, drink cheap beer, and thrive on chaos. He thinks I'm just a reckless twenty-one-year-old with nothing to offer but trouble. So, naturally, I decide to be his trouble. I push every button he has. I call him 'Daddy' because I know he hates it-and because I know it makes him think things he definitely shouldn't. To top it off? I flirt with his son just to watch his jaw tick...until his son starts flirting back. His son Benny is freshly back from war, dangerously charming, and looks at me like I'm the first thing he's wanted in years. And the more I provoke the grumpy rancher, the more I realize this isn't a game. Benny wants to keep me. Caleb wants to tame me. And for the first time in my life, I might actually want to be 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐝
