Gunna by signedschanel

Jaxson 'Gunna' Gilberto is no stranger to betrayal or taking losses. Death has played in the shadows of his life since he stepped foot into the streets at 12 to protect his best friend Karter Gilberto. Now at the age of 33, Gunna is the only of his generation of Gilbertos to live and speak on how the streets don't love a soul. When the streets come calling for his only son Jacob Gilberto, Gunna finds himself back to showing the city that tried to break his family that he is not to be played with. Nor will the reaper claim his son before he can shape him into a better man. Nicole 'Coca' Brown is no stranger to struggle. Death has played in the shadows of her life as she follows in the footsteps of her mother. Never seeing a healthy relationship in her life, Nicole seems to keep attracting the same type of men. When her path crosses with Gunna because of some trouble her brother finds himself into, Nicole is ready to fight. But Gunna doesn't have a fight for Nicole. He's drawn to her need to protect her brother the way he wants to protect his son. Jaxson can tell life has taken Nicole through the same flames of hell he's been through himself. Nicole isn't looking to be saved, and Jaxson isn't the type to save a woman after the betrayal of his girlfriends. But somehow Gunna finds himself wanting to make whatever Coca wants law.

The Art Of AK by Mya2tact

"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." In a world that thrives on conformity, August is an anomaly. Raised in a secretive overbearing family, she was chosen to leave its hidden grounds-not for freedom, but for duty. Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother. A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes. She's nothing like the women he's used to-unbothered by trends, and untouched by the need for validation. The more she resists, the deeper he falls, his infatuation turning into an obsession he can't shake. One he cant let go of. As their worlds collide, the slow burn of their connection threatens to ignite everything August has been taught to suppress. With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real. In a society that demands she fit a mold, August stands in defiance. Unfortunately, love has a way of making even the strongest question their silence.
