Cordelia never expected her life to change on a random night in Florida, but fate had other plans. When an unexpected encounter brings her into the orbit of Jahseh Onfroy-rising rapper, troubled soul, and undeniable force of nature-her world tilts on its axis. He's reckless yet poetic, guarded yet magnetic, a walking contradiction that she can't seem to pull away from. As their paths intertwine through late-night conversations, stolen glances, and the music that binds them, Cordelia finds herself drawn to the boy behind the fame. But with love comes chaos, and with Jahseh, nothing is ever simple.

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.

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.
Almost Us
Set against the textured streets and soulful pulse of Chicago, this story follows the journey of two poets-Jada and Marcelo-whose hearts collide in the most complicated of ways. Marcelo is magnetic. Known around open mic circles and bookstore basements for his evocative lines and the trail of women left breathless in his wake, he wears his charm like a second skin. But beneath the surface is a man chasing redemption, still haunted by past mistakes and the fear of becoming his father. Poetry is his truth-but he's learning that truth is more than beautiful words. Jada, on the other hand, is guarded. Quietly brilliant, she writes from the shadows, letting her words do the speaking she can't always bring herself to voice. Scarred by past betrayal, she moves through life with deliberate caution, letting few in and trusting even fewer. Poetry is her armor-and sometimes, her only safe place. When their paths cross, it's art that connects them-but it's honesty that will test them. What begins as shared stanzas and late-night cafés quickly unravels into something deeper, and messier. A resurfaced ex. A secret child. A fractured past neither of them saw coming. Through it all, Jada and Marcelo must decide whether love can be rewritten-or if some verses are better left unfinished. This is a story about forgiveness, vulnerability, and the kind of love that demands more than passion-it asks for growth. For truth. For staying, even when it's hard.Complete
