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.

Temptations
If there wasn't anything she hated the most it was MEN. Sevyn Moore, 22, was the girl that had a huge hatred towards the other gender. She had her reasons why and she felt as though they were reasonable for a girl like her. Sevyn wasn't the type that fell for the filter men would put on before their true colors were shown. She didn't fall for the same three lines dudes would say to get in her pants nor the same repetitive and disrespectful gestures. She was all for actions, yes, but she knew how to differentiate between forced ones and the ones that came from the heart. Even sometimes the ones from the heart didn't feel real to her, but that was as close as she was going to get to a real man. She knew one day she wanted to get married and live a happy life Mr. Right. But, in a world where disrespecting black women for clout was a new trend, sneaky links existed, and being exclusive was always a problem to people, she preferred being single than dealing with a man-child. Or any man at that matter. But, that was easier said than done. In most cases she was ready to lay down with a man even if he was a walking red flag, but she controlled herself. That was until she met the man himself where the thought of doing bad felt so damn good. She was tempted, but wasn't easy. This is Temptation.Complete
