In the streets of Harlem, survival ain't just a choice-it's a lifestyle. 

*********

Effie Adams has always done what she had to do. Between grinding at school, and work, hustling in the streets, and taking care of her little brother on her own, there's no room for weakness and no time for dreams. Life's about survival, plain and simple. But when a chance encounter leads her to the glamorous CEO of Carter and K Beauty, everything she thought she knew starts to unravel. 

Miranda Carter is rich, powerful, and polished to perfection-but behind the luxury brain and million-dollar smile lies a woman built on secrets, lies, and blood money. And unknown to Effie, their lives are already tangled in ways that go deeper than either of them are ready for. 

As secrets surface and dangers close in, Effie finds herself closing in a deadly game of power, money, drugs, and murder. And in a world where everyone's got a price, the real question becomes: 

How much is Effie willing to lose...

The Inceptive Flame⎪✓ by IAmEmmaHey

"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?

The Castillo's Caregiver by Buttercup591

COMPLETED Olivia Washington is running away. Not just from her life in New York, not just from her old job and not just from her past... She has packed parts of her life into boxes, and she is going headfirst to the first opportunity of a new life, all the way in Massachusetts, where the world-famous Raphael Castillo, owner of CASTACKS has hired her to be his personal nurse and caregiver. It's a dream job until the perks come in the form of his tall, handsome, olive-skinned, Italian billionaire son, Leonardo Castillo whose arrogance irks her in the worst way and yet... draws her to him in the best way. One very first and explosive encounter sends a whirlwind of emotional backlashes, heated moments, drunken mishaps, dark secrets, and lustful and forbidden acts into play. It's passionate. It's dangerous. It's a type of life she would not have lived had she not kissed those lips of his, had she not let him touch her with those gentle hands, had she not let him draw out her deepest moans. Even though he had a heartbreak reputation. Even though he would rather be spotted dead than with her in public. Even though he had his own demons that would throw them into chaos over and over. He was fire and she played with it... amidst the growing tension of family secrets between father and son, and the risky health of her employer. But when the heated moments are no longer just moments, and the forbidden actions don't feel so forbidden, Olivia must decide how long she can play this game to keep her job, as wounds start to open, secrets start to spill and danger comes to light.

"Maeve, baby, just give in." // His fingers trace my jaw slowly, deliberately, like he knows exactly how to undo me. He peppers kisses along my neck, familiar and dangerous, and I hate that my hands still find their way into his brown curls without thinking. "We can't, you know this. The girls are home an-" He cuts me off before I can finish, displeasure sharp in the way his mouth crashes into mine, his tongue forcing its way past my lips like my rules don't matter. Like I don't matter. "You didn't seem to care last time. What changed, baby?" he murmurs against my mouth, like the past is something he can still use against me. "I really fucking hate you," I breathe, the words pressed to his lips, raw and useless.

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.

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.
