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.

Benjiman Cartier Gotti, "BG" to the streets, "Benji" to those he cared about, which was slim to none. A young thug at the age of twenty one with a hustler's mentality, killer demeanor, and the game that could make any girl fall in love. With a heart made of ice and the big dreams of being one of the richest street hustlers the world had ever seen, he took the streets by storm with ambition. Benji was a go-getter and was determined to do whatever it took to get it, by any means necessary. He strayed to a place that he knew could turn his dirty rags into riches, which is exactly what he did. He knew shit wouldn't be given to him on a silver platter, so he grinded hard for his ticket out until he found himself on top of it all. Just because you started from the bottom, doesn't mean it's where you'll end .. and just because you never had shit, doesn't mean you never will. Benjiman Cartier Gotti was a natural born hustler. Against all odds he came out on top, but at what cost? Vanessa Wright | Copyright ©️ 2019 | All Rights Reserved Author: Vanessa Write | Cover: _tolerated NOT A FAN FICTION.

Jamari and Soraya's love story.

Naomi never meant for CJ to become more than a late-night distraction, but one touch turned into a habit, and that habit turned into feelings she swore she wasn't ready for. CJ came in loud, bold, and reckless - the type of man Naomi promised herself she'd stay away from. But the way he looked at her, the way he claimed her without even asking, made it hard to walk away. What started as sneaky links turned into something way deeper. Between pregnancy scares, whispered secrets, and fights that cut too close to the heart, Naomi finds herself caught between love and survival. CJ swears he loves her, but he's got demons of his own - trust issues, the streets, and a past that always circles back. This isn't your average love story. It's messy, it's toxic, it's real. Naomi has to decide if CJ is worth the heartbreak, or if loving him will cost her everything she's been fighting to protect.
