Soft & The Trap

She had her life mapped out-wake up, clock in at the call center, stay out of trouble, and chase the kind of success her parents expected. Nalani was a good girl from a middle-class home, raised on stability and structure. But one night out with her friends turns into a collision with a world she's never known-and a man she can't forget.

Kashamere's life is nothing like hers. He's street-smart, unapologetically hood, and knee-deep in the game. But behind the tattoos and late-night hustles is a man who sees something in Nalani no one else has: her softness, her strength, her glow. She shouldn't be falling for someone like him-but the way he holds her, protects her, and listens like her pain matters... it pulls her in.

As her picture-perfect world starts to crumble-with family secrets, betrayal, and danger creeping closer-Nalani is forced to choose between the life she's always known and the love that's changing everything. But loving a man like Kashamere comes with consequences... and some lessons can only be learned the hard way.
