When Mariah becomes Chris Browns assistant, she doesn't expect to do anything but get her coins. What she gets is way more drama than she bargained for. Chris somehow believes since Mariah is dark skinned and chubby that she is ugly. But just because she isn't his usual type doesn't mean that she's not gorgeous and desirable to most men. Will he change his way of thinking and see her for the gorgeous woman she is or will he continue to stay I'm denial of her true beauty?

"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. ❀ 🝳 ❀

Seven years ago, Sanaa Allen watched the love of her life leave home with promises he couldn't keep. While Zyaire Rhodes chased fame and fortune in Los Angeles, Sanaa stayed behind to help save her family and keep her father's auto shop alive. Now the girl who once dreamed of leaving has built a life she's proud of, and the last thing she needs is a reminder of the man who broke her heart. But when a chance encounter brings the former high school sweethearts face-to-face for the first time in years, old wounds are ripped wide open. With Zyaire back in town and their lives unexpectedly intertwined, avoiding each other quickly becomes impossible. As buried feelings resurface and long-held truths come to light, Sanaa and Zyaire must decide if some loves are meant to stay in the past or if they're worth fighting for a second time. Because sometimes the hardest thing to repair is the way you left it.

He was hoe all his life and he knew it. He never wanted to be everything for someone until he met her. She was everything he needed. As y'all know my books jump to the point! Some time jumps I don't own any pictures or gifs I find things off Facebook and Google. I just wanted to write about a sweet, non toxic relationship.

She's the industry princess with everything to prove. He's the superstar with nothing to lose. In the heart of Miami's glittering chaos, a forbidden collaboration will blur every line between business and pleasure, legacy and ruin. One studio. One summer. One mistake that could cost them everything.

He moves how he want. She moves the pawns. First one to catch feelings loses. Neither of them plan on losing.
