One man is her family's dream. The other could be her undoing. Suraiya Rao has never quite belonged. She's not white enough for society, not brown enough for her family... not enough for anyone. She's spent her life walking a tightrope between British reality and Indian expectation, doing everything by the book, no matter the cost. Then one chance encounter changes everything. Haydn Ellis Clarke isn't part of the plan. He's rich, ridiculously handsome, and absolutely not the man her family has chosen for her. But he sees her - not the dutiful daughter or the girl buried beneath generations of pressure, but the version of herself she's never dared to be. Mendhi My Heart is a story of identity, belonging, and choosing love, even when it means breaking every rule. Because love doesn't always arrive in the "suitable" package. Sometimes, it wears torn jeans... and gives your grandmother a heart attack.

In the unforgiving streets of North Philadelphia, twenty-six-year-old Reign Carter has built an empire on her own terms as the most sought-after dancer at Velvet Rush, the city's most exclusive gentlemen's club, while secretly saving every dollar to open a performing arts studio for underprivileged girls. Thirty-one-year-old Darius "Havoc" Monroe is a decorated middleweight boxer clawing his way back from a devastating loss that nearly ended his career, training relentlessly for the championship bout that could restore everything he's lost-his title, his reputation, and his fractured family's respect. When Reign's younger brother Isaiah begs Darius to take him on as a gym apprentice, their worlds collide in a powder keg of attraction, pride, and past trauma that neither is prepared to handle. As Darius struggles with the ghosts of his abusive childhood and Reign guards the secrets of her own violent past, they're forced into each other's orbit repeatedly-at the gym where Isaiah trains, at underground fight clubs where Darius earns extra cash, and during late-night encounters that crackle with an intensity both try desperately to ignore. But when Reign's dangerous ex-boyfriend returns from prison with vengeance on his mind and Darius's upcoming fight attracts the attention of ruthless promoters willing to do anything for profit, their carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. This is a raw, unflinching story of two damaged people learning that sometimes the hardest fight isn't in the ring or on the stage-it's allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to love and be loved in return.

Deja Washington, a 32-year-old Black woman and established book editor at a prestigious New York publishing house, has sworn off Valentine's Day after a string of disappointing relationships that always seem to fizzle out just when things get serious. When she's assigned to work with Takeshi Yamamoto, a 35-year-old Japanese-American literary translator known for his meticulous perfectionism and emotional reserve, their professional collaboration begins with immediate friction-her spontaneous editing style clashes violently with his methodical approach to preserving authorial intent. As they're forced to work together on an urgent project translating and editing a controversial manuscript over the two weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, their constant arguments slowly reveal the deep wounds and fears they both carry: Deja's abandonment issues from a father who left when she was young and a pattern of choosing emotionally unavailable men, and Takeshi's struggle with vulnerability after a broken engagement three years ago left him convinced he's incapable of meeting anyone's emotional needs. The story unfolds across intimate late-night editing sessions in Takeshi's cramped Brooklyn apartment, tense meetings in Deja's corner office overlooking Manhattan, and stolen moments in the rare bookshops and quiet corners of the city they both love, as they navigate professional respect bleeding into genuine friendship, and friendship igniting into something neither of them planned for but both desperately need-if only they can overcome their fears long enough to let each other in.
