For six years, Patrice Loving lived inside a marriage that started like a fairytale and turned into a private kind of hell. Mentally, physically, and emotionally abused by the man who swore he loved her, Patrice learned how to survive by going quiet, hiding her pain, and planning her escape in silence. Pregnant and living with MS, she finally runs in the middle of the night with nothing but the money she stashed and the strength Carmari Davis never realized she still had. Then she lands in the life of Hazel "Menace" Knight a ruthless street nigga who never pretends to be anything other than what he is. Menace doesn't sell Patrice pretty lies or polished promises. What he gives her is harder, rougher, and realer: protection, honesty, and a love that shows up every day for her and the baby she carries. But with Carmari still hunting for the woman he thought he broke, Menace is ready to become every bit of the menace they say he is to make sure Patrice and Halo stay his.

If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans. Genesis Serena Hale Reeves is the picture of a perfect First Lady-beautiful, graceful, and married to one of Atlanta's most admired pastors, Omari Silas Reeves. To the congregation, their life looks blessed. But behind the church doors and Sunday smiles lives a truth no one wants to see. Genesis has spent her whole life being taught that suffering is love. Raised inside the Family of Christ, a secluded cult in Texas, she grew up watching men beat their wives in the name of God. When a federal raid tore her away from the only world she knew, she thought the worst was over. She was wrong. Years later, the boy who once protected her from being mocked as the strange "cult girl" became the man she married-the man who now controls her life with fear, scripture, and violence. Now a mother to a quiet, autistic daughter who the church whispers cruelly about, Genesis begins to question everything she was ever taught about love, faith, and obedience. But leaving the man the world calls a holy leader may cost her everything. Some nightmares refuse to let their victims go without a fight. Because the most dangerous prisons aren't built with walls. They're built with love. And Genesis is about to discover just how far she's willing to go to break free.

Every time Isaiah looked at himself in the mirror, he was constantly reminded of the most traumatic moment of his life. He grew to hate himself until Namiko randomly waltzed into his life one day and began teaching him how to love himself again. It was as if she was his second chance. He'd been so pissed off all night to the point where he was physically shaking like a ticking bomb. This one hug from her felt like the rainbow after a severe thunderstorm. He couldn't believe that his sanity really depended on her. He'd never reached this point of love before. She brought him so much peace. That's why he loved her the way that he did; the reason why he couldn't stand to spend a single second away from her and why he depended on her to keep him sane. She was just it; like a breath of fresh air. He never expected the woman that ended up stealing his heart would be a real life Disney Princess wandering cluelessly around New York City; an autistic one, at that.

"You know how special you gotta be to change a nigga like me? Huh?" He tilted her head back to make her look at him, and a faint smile grew on her face as he wiped her cheeks. "My own grandparents couldn't do it for me and I loved them more than anything. You the one for me ma. That's why I ain't told you everything yet 'cause I don't wanna run you away. I need you." He laid his forehead against hers, gently kissing her lips. "Nobody will ever believe that King Von from O Block be crying to me like this." She smiled as she gazed into his red eyes, and he chuckled, nodding in agreement. "I ain't King Von wit' you. Just love." He kissed her cheek next, and her smile grew as her arms tightened around him for a warm hug.
