Through His Lens...

Zariah Bennett doesn't believe in fairytales-she believes in deadlines, hard work, and keeping her heart under lock and key. Between juggling her fashion internship, a part-time job, and her own ambitions, she has no time for distractions, especially not from a smooth-talking photographer who seems to see right through her walls.

Malik Carter is all about capturing the moment - raw, the real, the fleeting. But lately, his camera has felt like a barrier rather than a bridge. When he meets Zariah at his photography exhibit, she challenges him in a way no one else has. She's skeptical, guarded, and maddeningly intriguing.

A chance encounter turns into an unexpected collaboration, and soon, stolen glances and late-night conversations blur the lines between strangers and something more. But with fears, ambitions, and unspoken truths standing between them, will they take the risk-or will their love story remain just another moment lost in time?All Rights Reserved

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.

The Quiet Between Us by lnsanio

While he was gone, she found herself. Essence didn't believe in soft things. Love had always been loud, painful, and temporary. So when Zion - calm, patient, and everything she wasn't used to - showed up in uniform with a quiet kind of peace, she pushed him away. Then he left for deployment. Now, surrounded by base gossip, silence, and everything she never said out loud, Essence is forced to face the one thing that scares her more than falling in love: being loved right. And Zion? He's not sure who he'll be when he comes home - but he knows exactly who he's coming back for. A slow-burn military love story about distance, healing, and the kind of love that waits - even when everything says to let go.

When the Fog Lifts by imaprofessionalhater

She wakes up with no name, no past-just the pounding ache in her head and the eerie sense that someone wanted her gone. When a kind elderly couple discovers a disoriented woman wandering the backroads of a sleepy coastal town, they rush her to the hospital. She has no identification. No memory. No idea who she is or how she ended up barefoot and bruised on the side of the road. The only thing she knows for certain is that fear clings to her like a second skin. Soon, local authorities identify her as a missing woman named Zariah Cole, a successful, fiercely independent Black woman who vanished without a trace two weeks prior. But even as she returns to the pieces of a life she doesn't remember-her apartment, her business, familiar faces-nothing feels right. Whispers of lies, strange inconsistencies, and flashes of violent memory begin to resurface. Something terrible happened to her... and someone is determined to make sure she never uncovers the truth. Detective Elias Ward, haunted by the unsolved murder of his younger sister, is drawn to Zariah's case with an intensity he doesn't fully understand. As he helps her navigate the trauma and confusion, their bond deepens into something fragile, intimate, and undeniable. But with every step closer to the truth, Zariah begins to see the darkness lurking beneath the surface of the people she once trusted most. Love blooms in the shadows.
