When Harlem's rhythm meets the beat of two healing hearts... love takes center stage.
Jazmine "Jazz" Carter has poured her soul into her Lenox Avenue boutique, determined to rise above betrayal and heartbreak. Her life is about control, ambition, and keeping her past buried beneath the sound of her own hustle.
Malik Thompson has traded the streets for second chances. Once a Harlem hustler, now a man with a vision, he's determined to rebuild his community block by block. But when a neighborhood redevelopment project threatens Jazz's shop, their clash ignites more than controversy-it sparks undeniable chemistry neither can ignore.
What begins as tension turns into tenderness. Amid Harlem's jazz, murals, and midnight lights, two people scarred by the past discover the courage to rebuild not just a neighborhood, but each other's hearts.
Love on Lenox Avenue is a passionate, mature urban romance about forgiveness, ambition, and the kind of love that only Harlem can inspire.

𝐒𝐮𝐤𝐚 𝐇*𝐞
In the heartbeat of Chicago's South Side, two Black women cross paths under neon lights and gospel echoes - one searching for freedom, the other for forgiveness. Malika "Suka" Carter has built her life on survival. A dancer, a hustler, a woman who's learned to turn pain into performance - she keeps her heart hidden behind smoke, music, and gold. Love, to her, is a luxury she can't afford. Eliana "Eli" Thompson has lived her life by scripture and silence. A pastor's daughter, pianist, and believer in grace, she's spent years suppressing who she is to fit a world that would rather not see her truth. But one look at Malika - and something inside her starts to unravel. Their worlds shouldn't meet - church girl and street woman, faith and flesh, sinner and saved - but in each other, they find the reflection they didn't know they were missing. Their connection is raw, magnetic, and dangerous, challenging every rule they were told to live by. As the city hums around them - trains rattling, choirs singing, lovers whispering - Suka and Eli are forced to decide what's worth saving: their reputations, their families, or the love that could finally set them free. "Love ain't holy, but it's real."
Back Where You Left Me
Eight years ago, Rae Mitchell left Glencoe, Georgia without a goodbye. No note, no explanation, just a suitcase full of ambition and a heart too full to stay. She was supposed to outrun the memories. The whispers. And especially Khalil Reed, the boy who once made her believe in forever. But now she's back. Her grandmother's unexpected fall pulls her home, and with no job, no apartment, and a scandal she's still trying to forget, Rae has nowhere else to go. Glencoe hasn't changed, but Rae has. And so has Khalil. Once her first love, now the man she ghosted, Khalil isn't interested in forgiveness or small talk. He's running a business, raising his teenage sister, and trying not to care that Rae's name still hits him like it used to. In a town where everyone remembers who you used to be, Rae must confront what she left behind-family, friendship, and the one person who never stopped waiting for her to come home. But some wounds don't stay buried. Some love never really leaves. And some promises are made to be broken... until they aren't.Complete
