"She never asked to be chosen second. He never asked to love soft." Ka'Lani Simone Harris spent her whole life watching boys pick her brownskin twin, Imani, first. Every text, every glance, every "you cute but..." - it all ended the same. But when Juelz Amir Thompson steps into her world - quiet, tattooed, hood-smart, and realer than any man she's known - he flips her entire mindset. Only... Ka'Lani ain't sure if he really sees her, or just another shadow of her sister. Juelz got demons. A past that moves quiet but dangerous. And love? That shit was never part of the plan. But Ka'Lani pulls something out of him nobody's ever touched - not his exes, not his block, not even his blood. Now the city watching. Girls throwing shade. Secrets resurfacing. And his enemies? They don't like seeing him soft. But love like this? Ain't soft. It's bold. It's bruised. And it refuses to be background. This ain't no fairytale. This is hood love

STORY ON PAUSE!!! When the streets raise you hard, and love tries to soften the blow... Kael Carter is the king of the block-a drug empire under his command, respect in every corner, and loyalty that runs deeper than blood. Feared by many and trusted by few, Kael isn't used to wanting anything he can't control. But when he crosses paths with Amira Brooks, a successful, soft-spoken nurse with a sharp tongue and a softer heart, he finds himself craving something the streets never taught him how to hold: real love. Amira lives a life of discipline, luxury, and peace earned through years of hustle and heartbreak. She's plus-size, proud, and not interested in being anyone's project or prize. When Kael enters her world-hood charm, quiet power, and a dangerous past in tow-he turns everything upside down. Despite his intensity, his clinginess, and the ever-present shadow of his baby mother, something in him makes her pause. He's rough. She's refined. He runs the block. She runs the halls of the ER. And in a world where loyalty often masquerades as love, both will have to learn the difference. With jealousy brewing, secrets rising, and emotions growing deeper than either expected, Kael and Amira must decide if love is worth the risk-or just another loss waiting to happen.
