Nari is the backbone of her block. A hairstylist with a "don't talk to me" attitude, she carries the weight of her world on her shoulders without asking for a hand out or a shoulder to cry on. Between braiding heads until her fingers bleed and raising her little sister, Layla, Nari doesn't have time for feelings-only for the math of survival. She's the provider, the protector, and the one everyone runs to when the lights go out. When her best friend Vee discovers her boyfriend, Marcus, sneaking a woman into her apartment, the two "slide" to handle the disrespect. But the confrontation takes a deadly turn. Against Nari's warnings, a heart-broken Vee does the unmistakable, not realizing the aftermath will affect J.R., a name that carries a death sentence in the streets. Caught in the crosshairs of a street war they didn't start, Nari's life of calculated hustle is traded for a game of survival. Dragged into the shadows of the streets, she comes face-to-face with a man whose silence is louder than any gunshot. He's cold, calculated, and holds Nari's life in the palm of his hand. Now, Nari is juggling more than just bills and braids. She's navigating a world of high-stakes debts and a dangerous attraction to a man who represents everything she should be running from. But in a world built on power and pride, love is a liability. When the wall finally crumbles and the "Provider" has nothing left to give, the roles reverse. _________________________________

you keep me sane and safe that's why the bond we have is never ending... be my peace until we know what this is... my first book.. January 2023

After five years apart, Ariah Montgomery and Najeer Porter find themselves back in the same city, picking up their friendship where they left off. But as familiar laughs and late-night talks turn into something neither of them expected, they're forced to question if things between them have truly stayed the same, or if something unspoken has been there all along.

Naomi Carter was taught her whole life to stay away from trouble. Pastor's daughter. Church girl. Straight A student. Trouble was never supposed to find her. But one bad decision, one party, and one thing she was never supposed to see puts her directly in the path of the city's most feared man. Now the same man everyone warns her about won't stop watching. Won't stop texting. And definitely won't leave her alone. The problem? Naomi can't tell if she should be terrified of Kai Bennett... Or curious.

If there wasn't anything she hated the most it was MEN. Sevyn Moore, 22, was the girl that had a huge hatred towards the other gender. She had her reasons why and she felt as though they were reasonable for a girl like her. Sevyn wasn't the type that fell for the filter men would put on before their true colors were shown. She didn't fall for the same three lines dudes would say to get in her pants nor the same repetitive and disrespectful gestures. She was all for actions, yes, but she knew how to differentiate between forced ones and the ones that came from the heart. Even sometimes the ones from the heart didn't feel real to her, but that was as close as she was going to get to a real man. She knew one day she wanted to get married and live a happy life Mr. Right. But, in a world where disrespecting black women for clout was a new trend, sneaky links existed, and being exclusive was always a problem to people, she preferred being single than dealing with a man-child. Or any man at that matter. But, that was easier said than done. In most cases she was ready to lay down with a man even if he was a walking red flag, but she controlled herself. That was until she met the man himself where the thought of doing bad felt so damn good. She was tempted, but wasn't easy. This is Temptation.

COMPLETED "You tryna fuck suhm?" "No Assiana. Watch the movie" "Mm..... I think you're lying" she hummed as her hand moves up to his hard on, massaging it. Ares sucks in a breath of air at the action, before looking at her. "If you knew anything about me, you'd know my dick is always hard around you. Now get off, you're high" A cliche thug love story? Nah, not even close. _______________________________________________ Assiana always hated thugs, especially their lifestyle. And Ares couldn't stand older girls, having seen that if a girl is too good to be true- it was often exactly that. Put these two together in a house and as expected, they clash. But will these enemies turn lovers? And how will that love fare, amidst possessiveness, jealousy, toxicity and betrayal. With a boy fighting addiction and a girl struggling with mental health, will they be able to help each other? Or will everything come crashing down around them, in a world that has already proven itself less than kind. Read to find out.
