She wasn't supposed to fall for him.
He wasn't supposed to care.

When Naomi crosses paths with Kash, a man whose presence is just as dangerous as it is magnetic, her world gets flipped upside down. He's got a past soaked in pain and a present wrapped in secrets. The streets raised him-but there's something about the way he loves that feels safe, even when nothing around him is.

Naomi's always played it safe. Love? Not something she gambles with. But Kash isn't just any man-he's the kind that makes her heart race, her walls fall, and her fears rise all at once.

Can she risk it all for a man the world swears she should run from?
Or will trusting him be the biggest heartbreak she's ever faced?

In a world where loyalty is everything and love doesn't come easy, Naomi will have to bet her heart, her peace, and her future...
Because life is a gamble-and sometimes, the biggest risks lead to the realest love.All Rights Reserved

CONCRETE HEARTS | DE by taydaawaydaa

Book One//: Arianna carved her empire with her own two hands. At twenty-three, her Brooklyn salon is more than a business-it's proof she doesn't need anyone. Independence is her armor, and success is her safe place. Love? That's a distraction she doesn't have time for. Keshawn built his reputation on Harlem's streets, moving with a quiet kind of power that demands both fear and respect. At twenty-seven, he's focused, untouchable, and not the type to chase anyone. But when Arianna crosses his path, the walls he's built start to crack. Their connection is undeniable-magnetic, dangerous, impossible to ignore. But jealous exes, shifting loyalties, and the weight of the streets threaten to pull them apart before they've even begun. In a world where love feels like a weakness and survival is everything, Arianna and Keshawn have to decide if two hearts hardened by concrete can really hold onto something real.

Soothe My Rage by milaszn

Zhakari doesn't do softness. Doesn't do love. He's the type to make grown men cry, kill without blinking, and trust no soul. But then came Mavi. She didn't know who he was when he first walked into her shop needing a cover-up tattoo for something violent from his past. But she felt it instantly-his storm. The rage, the stillness... and the brokenness buried beneath. Everyone tells her to stay away from Zhakari. He's dangerous. Cruel. A walking red flag with blood on his hands. But when he's with her... he's still. He listens. He breathes. He wants to try. Only she can pull him back from the edge when the rage consumes him. Only she can touch him when he's mid-meltdown. And when he finds out someone from her past wants to harm her? God help the city.

Trap My Heart|| A short story by kaywritebooks

He was her peace and her problem. She was his weakness and his weapon. Lyric West wasn't looking for love-she was looking for a way out. Out of Atlanta. Out of her mama's mess. Out of the trap love cycle that always ends in pain. But then came him. Kashon "Kash" Rivers. Black Charger. Gold chain. Hood royalty. He ain't loud with it, but when he step in the room, the air shifts. He's older. Untouchable. And just dangerous enough to make Lyric second-guess everything she thought she knew. He got a past that don't play and eyes that make you forget your own name. When he pulls her close, it feels like freedom-but loving a man like Kash? That's a risk with no exit plan. With her jealous ex lurking, secrets waiting to explode, and Kash's name ringing in streets too hot to touch, Lyric's trapped in more ways than one. Love like this don't come easy. And it sure as hell don't come safe. If you fall for a devil, can you still make it out with your soul?

REDRAWN BY FATE by PoranasianPorapio718

Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain and the art of letting go. "Having the person you love beside you isn't the only form of love. Sometimes... letting them go is. And I hope one day you'll understand, Aishwarya - I'm not walking away because I don't love you. I'm walking away because I can't bear to lose another person I love."

B R O K E N by TheeLoverGirlyTae

Zaire isn't the type of man people dream about. He's the one they whisper about. The one mothers warn their daughters to stay away from. He's sharp edges, sleepless nights, and a past too heavy to carry. On the outside, he's all rage and silence. On the inside, he's drowning-haunted by mistakes, chained by loyalty, and convinced love isn't made for men like him. Then Imani comes crashing into his world. She's light where he's darkness, but she's got scars of her own. And no matter how many walls he builds, she keeps finding the cracks. Zaire doesn't know if she's the cure he's been running from...or the wound that finally destroys him. Because in his world, love isn't soft. It's survival. And sometimes survival leaves you BROKEN.

Fated to Love | completed by univ_orn2345

Siya was never meant to love-not in a family where even meeting a man was forbidden. But when her secret past is exposed, her own blood sentences her to death, ready to burn her alive to uphold their honor. Just as the flames are about to consume her, Professor Rudransh Malhotra-an outsider to her world but a man who fell for her at first sight-steps in, defying an entire society to save her. To shield her from further humiliation, Rudransh does the unthinkable-he marries her. But to Siya, love is a betrayal, a weakness she refuses to embrace again. Bound by a marriage of convenience, she keeps her heart locked away, while Rudransh, patient and unwavering, fights to earn her trust. As he showers her with kindness and protects her from a world that once sought to destroy her, Siya is forced to confront a terrifying truth-perhaps love isn't a curse, and perhaps, just this once, she is safe in the arms of the man who risked everything for her. But will she ever let her heart believe in love again, or will her past forever keep her from the happiness waiting right in front of her?

Only If You Stay by authorcnecole

He didn't ask for her heart. He studied it... then took it like it already belonged to him😈😈.... Ziya Foyce doesn't chase men. She paints, she hides, and she protects her peace like it's sacred. In a town full of loud cousins, nosy neighbors, and old drama that refuses to die, she minds her business and lets the world spin without her. Then Nahlej Cordeaux steps in. He isn't ordinary. He's pressure in human form-a hood philosopher with a past carved into his skin and a stare that makes you forget every promise you made to yourself. From the moment he sees Ziya, it's done. He doesn't flirt; he studies. He circles. He claims. And once he locks in, he doesn't let go. Ziya promised herself she'd never fall for a man who could break her. Nahlej promised that if he touched her once, she'd never leave. What starts as a glance turns into a pull she can't shake. Between sharp-tongued best friends, family chaos, and chemistry that refuses to quiet down, their story unfolds reckless, obsessive, and addictive. He isn't the villain. He's just unhinged enough to make love feel dangerous in all the right ways. This isn't a fairytale. It's grown, messy, Southern hood love. The kind that lingers. The kind that claims. The kind you don't forget. 🔥 Only If You Stay is a Southern Black romance about a love that doesn't ask-it takes and restores.
