Asia-Naye here, I was the best in the game-slick, untouchable, and raking in cash from sweet-talking rich men over the phone and when it calls for, in person. Then one slip-up put me on the FBI's radar. Now I have a problem: work with them or kiss my freedom goodbye. Their terms? Pretend that I'm engaged to their top agent, Special Agent Kuran Minks, while he tries to protect me, I try to keep myself out of trouble. But by the looks of it, I bet he'll write me letters when I'm in prison. (From Minks, With Love) written by Dainiel Douglas/Prezii/Theebookgirly

Nalah is what most people call a trying young girl. She tries her best to work hard in her Niche, hoping that one day she'll accomplish all she needs to live comfortably. She finds herself in a bind when she's left stranded one night. Scared and alone she tries to reach out to everyone she possibly can, fortunately in the midst of her distress comes what some may call a 'knight in shining armor', or in this case a Handsome Rasta man in a Porsche. She immediately recognizes this knight as Skip Marley, the Grandson of reggae legend Bob 'Skippa' Marley. As the story progresses, circumstances bound them together but Nalah is adamant that she won't let herself fall for his charms. While Skip himself is unsure if what he feels for her are real feelings-or just...infatuation. As time progresses they realize that being together feels natural. The connection between them is undeniable, but defining their feelings? That's the real challenge. They avoid labels to protect themselves, but are there deeper issues keeping them apart? You'll just have to read to find out.
