They say you never really forget your first love. They also say distance makes the heart grow fonder. That couldn't be truer for Soriyah and Mekhi.
Mekhi was a hardheaded, ambitious, tough kid who grew up too fast. He wanted his peers' money and respect, and by the time he reached 27, he had gotten all he could ever dream of. A hood celebrity, some feared and respected him while others envied and hated him. On the outside, he was the man who had everything, but on the inside, there was a void that never seemed to get filled.
Soriyah was the complete opposite: brains, beauty, and drive. She was determined not to let the streets swallow her whole. Instead of chasing Mekhi's fast lifestyle, she was chasing something bigger. Something better--a doctorate and a future that would allow her to raise her children better than she had been raised. At 26, she found herself making the hardest decision of her life.
Homecoming season is always a trip down memory lane. A weekend of fun and adventure, or at least that was what Micah was expecting, but sometimes those memories have a way of changing everything.
One party turned into bullets flying and people scattering for cover. What was chaos was frozen as Soriyah and Mekhi find each other, sparking old feelings and rekindling a forgotten friendship. Love doesn't come easy for them, as their stories were written for completely different paths.
Together they face twisted tragedy, tests of loyalty, plenty of temptation, and a lesson that sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants and first loves never die.

Every time Isaiah looked at himself in the mirror, he was constantly reminded of the most traumatic moment of his life. He grew to hate himself until Namiko randomly waltzed into his life one day and began teaching him how to love himself again. It was as if she was his second chance. He'd been so pissed off all night to the point where he was physically shaking like a ticking bomb. This one hug from her felt like the rainbow after a severe thunderstorm. He couldn't believe that his sanity really depended on her. He'd never reached this point of love before. She brought him so much peace. That's why he loved her the way that he did; the reason why he couldn't stand to spend a single second away from her and why he depended on her to keep him sane. She was just it; like a breath of fresh air. He never expected the woman that ended up stealing his heart would be a real life Disney Princess wandering cluelessly around New York City; an autistic one, at that.Complete

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete
The unexpected
Von kills like she breathes-calm, cold, constant. Tahani doesn't just watch people die-she decides when. Vonn'asia, or just Von, is twenty-three and deadly as fuck. A storm with a trigger finger. Raised in blood, forged in silence, she's carved her name into the city's bones. She doesn't flinch, doesn't forgive, and damn sure doesn't fear. People say her name when they pray no one's listening. When she hunts, she doesn't leave witnesses-she leaves warnings. Then one night, bleeding and laughing like death ain't never met her, she runs into Tahani Aguado-a quiet girl in blue scrubs with hands too steady, eyes too knowing. Tahani is twenty-two. Mysterious. Methodical. And vicious behind closed doors. Her body count's a whisper, her smile a trap, and her heart? Frostbitten beyond repair. She's been surviving off precision kills and secrets too heavy to speak. She doesn't help people. She ends them. But something about Von made her open that door. Made her act against every rule she's lived by. Now the city's about to bleed. Two women built from violence. Both with pasts that could burn empires down. One running from chaos. One becoming it. What started with a single bullet explodes into something brutal-lust, loyalty, betrayal, and bodies stacking too fast to count. In a world where mercy is weakness, and love is a liability, Von and Tahani don't fall for each other- They crash. Hard. And when killers collide? Some cities never recover.
