Fake dating the king of the neighborhood certainly had its perks, but what happens when being in a relationship is one of them? Monique Freedman is Harlem church royalty, soloist of the Heavenly Way Choir and the pastor's perfect, pristine daughter. But as time goes on she's starting to get tired of the same routine. She is completely invisible to her long-time crush-the polished head deacon's son. Desperate to get his attention, she breaks out of the box that she's lived in all her life, and she needs the perfect guy to help her do it: Amari Jones. Amari is the undisputed king of the block, heads turn when he enters the scene. But beneath his sharp exterior is a quietly ambitious, architecture-loving guy who has been secretly smitten with Monique since they were kids in Sunday school. Two issues: He doesn't play games, and that would include fake dating. But if her father, Reverend Freedman, saw them together he'd flip a lid. But a summer in Harlem has its own way of changing the rules. When a hesitant deal forces them together, Monique finally gets to see a world beyond the church. She comes to understand the spirit and the culture of the city she calls home, and she does it with Amari by her side. As fake dates and summer block parties melt into late night conversations, Monique realizes that the guy she was never supposed to like was the only guy that was listening all along.

"Solè, why'd you stay?" "Because, Zaire... you the first thing that ever felt worth staying for." ❀ 🝳 ❀ Harlem held the noise. Solè gave Zaire the quiet. Zaire Knox, Harlem's quiet storm, known for his ties to the streets and a gaze that read people faster than they could lie to him. Respected. Feared. Loved. With scars buried deeper than his tattoos, he never planned to love soft. Until a Harlem vinyl shop left behind by his late grandfather forces him to slow down, to breathe, to find his real purpose in the world beyond the streets. Solè Sinclair, soft but unbreakable, raised by her father after loss. By day, she serves warmth behind the counter of a café. By night, she disappears into her art, trying to paint the parts of herself no one ever sees. When their worlds cross, the city shifts. What starts off tense and unexpected turns tender. Together, they learn love can hold you just as fierce as the streets ever did, and softer, too. But love in Harlem always asks one question: what are you willing to risk when the heart wants more than the streets ever offered? A Harlem story. A hood love. A soft place to land. ❀ 🝳 ❀

"Malone... you really think you could love me for the rest of your life?" His mouth pulled into that slow smile she knew too well. "Baby, Ah'm more worried 'bout whether one lifetime gon' be enough." 𓂃 ࣪˖ 𓆸 ♡ 𓆸 ˖ ࣪𓂃 A'neya Mercer knows cameras, Los Angeles, and the wealthy life she was raised in. What she doesn't know is Selah Cross, Louisiana, the small Black Southern town where she was born. When her work as a cinematographer sends her there for the summer to document its people and culture, she expects to capture their story. Not uncover pieces of her own. And she certainly doesn't expect Malone Selah. Tall, dark, handsome, loved, and Southern to his bones, Malone is an old soul cowboy with generations of Selah roots beneath his feet, a man devoted to his family, his land, his people, and the life he's built there. But as Selah Cross pulls A'neya deeper into its history, Malone becomes more than the handsome man who lives across the street from her. She's finding pieces of a life she never knew belonged to her while he faces losing pieces of the only one he's ever known. When the ground beneath both their lives begins to shift, will the love they've planted together in Selah Cross be strong enough to take root? or will they lose it before it ever gets the chance to grow? A Black Southern love story about what we inherit, what we fight to keep, and who we become when love finally gives us somewhere to belong. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ˖ ࣪𓂃 ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ ꜱᴏᴜᴛʜᴇʀɴ. ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ ʀᴏᴏᴛᴇᴅ. ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ ʟᴏᴠᴇᴅ. ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀᴇᴅ. ꜱᴏᴜʟᴀᴀɴ.

"Who's that over there?" The man looked at me like I was from outer space, or perhaps like I lived under a rock, maybe a mixture of both. "Him? They call him Full Throttle," he chuckled with a hint of nervousness in his voice. I scrunched my nose up in confusion. "Why?" The man threw his head back and laughed before answering me. "Because he doesn't hold back. He does everything at full speed... racing, girls, and-" the man cut himself off, seeking as though he was catching himself spilling a secret. "And what?" "Don't worry about it." THIS BOOK IS PURELY A WORK OF FICTION! The characters in it are in NO way a representation of the people chosen to play them. It is merely a story, and they fit the physical description best for their characters. The characters I have created are completely fictional, and in no way relate to my thoughts and or feelings about the people I have chosen to play said characters! || THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT, PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN RISK || HIGHEST RANKINGS: -#1 in hs -#1 in fiction -#1 in racing -#1in dragracing -#2 in harrystyles -#4 in youngadult -#5 in onedirection -#19 in cars -#31 in gangs -#57 in fighting -#64 in harry -#111 in drama -#461 in love
