𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐬 by Starr9ine_

A talented boy from the roughest part of town earns a scholarship to a prestigious, predominantly white high school, where he's thrust into a world of privilege, pressure, and cultural clashes. Paired with the no-nonsense "boogie" black girl for a school project, he's initially put off by her sharp wit and unapologetic confidence. But as they work together, he discovers there's more to her than meets the eye-her passion for life, fierce independence, and determination to break free from expectations even when her adoptive parents are morbidly controlling and mentally abusive. Over time, their unlikely bond blossoms into an undeniable romance, and with her by his side, he finds the strength to confront the challenges of balancing two worlds, all while striving to fulfill his basketball dreams. But it's not just his game that gets a makeover-his perspective on life, love, and self-worth is completely transformed.

Residuals. by MJade92

Ja and Dess had been inseparable from the moment they met in college. What started as a friendship quickly ignited into a love neither of them saw coming. They were young-perhaps too young to understand the weight of what they truly had. Then Ja's betrayals shattered everything. For Dess, walking away was the only way to save herself. For Ja, losing her sent him spiraling into a world of regret, excess, and self-destruction. Now, five years later, fate has brought them back to the same crossroads, caught between what was and what still might be. When their paths cross once more, old wounds resurface, and the weight of unspoken words lingers between them. Dess has built a life without Ja-one that doesn't revolve around heartbreak and second chances. She has convinced herself she has moved on. Ja has moved on, too-at least in some ways. He's a father now. His daughter, Kaari, is the one pure, beautiful thing to come from the years he spent trying to be with someone else. But he never loved Kaari's mother the way he loved Dess. He couldn't. Because even after five years, after all the mistakes and all the time lost between them, Dess still owns his heart in a way no one else ever could. In this sequel to Wrong Kind Of Right, Ja and Dess find themselves questioning: Is love ever truly lost, or does it simply leave behind pieces-residuals of what once was, waiting for the right time to find its way back?

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬 by Starr9ine_

Nysir finally graduates high school - not just with a diploma in hand, but with the girl he once thought he'd only dream about by his side. The future looked promising. He had the love, the talent, and the drive. Back home, he was that guy - the name everyone knew, the one who ran the courts, the hometown legend with highlight reels and college scouts watching his every move. Life felt like it was finally aligning. But everything changed the moment he stepped onto his new campus. College ball is a different beast. The air's heavier, the stakes are higher, and nobody cares about what you did back home. Here, every gym is filled with killers - dudes just as fast, just as hungry, just as desperate to rise. Some are stronger. Some are smarter. Some are willing to do whatever it takes. And in this world, loyalty means nothing if it gets in the way of the dream. It's no longer about teamwork - it's every man for himself. Trust is a luxury. Friends can turn into rivals overnight. One mistake, one missed step, and someone's already in line to take your place. Now, Nysir has to fight not only to earn respect, but to keep it. To hold onto love, his spot, and his sanity in a world where betrayal doesn't come with a warning. And the question that haunts him every night: Is being the best worth losing yourself for?

Dangerously Yours[Dave East] by JadaNaomii

Maria thought Mike was everything she wanted when they first got together at 21. He had charm, a little edge, and the kind of confidence that made her feel safe. But three years later, that shine is gone. Mike is controlling, jealous, and only focused on what he wants. Maria feels trapped but stays, scared to let go of what she knows even if it's toxic. Everything changes the night she crosses paths with him. He isn't a coworker or a friend of a friend he's just there. A stranger who feels familiar. The type who doesn't say much, but when he does, it hits deep. He carries himself with strength, someone who's clearly lived through things but wears it with pride. There's a mystery about him, the kind that makes Maria's heart race in a way Mike never could. Now Maria is torn. The hood has rules, and leaving Mike isn't just about breaking up it's about risking her safety, her reputation, maybe even her future. But the more she tastes freedom, the more she realizes she can't keep living in fear.
