Chicago made them hard to love.
Milan Amoura Carter spent years trying to forget Durk Devontay Banks - the boy she once loved before fame, violence, and the streets changed everything between them. But when fate pulls them back together, old feelings resurface fast... and so do old problems.
Durk is richer, colder, and more dangerous than ever. Milan is guarded, independent, and no longer willing to lose herself for love. Still, no matter how hard they fight it, the connection between them refuses to die.
But in a city where loyalty gets people killed and enemies watch every move, loving each other might cost more than heartbreak this time.
Sometimes the most dangerous thing in Chicago isn't the streets.
It's having something to lose.

The storm between us| kdg
When Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans, it didn't just destroy homes-it destroyed lives, families... and the unbreakable bond between two best friends. Dejahnae and Kentrell were inseparable, the kind of connection that felt destined, unshakable. Until the storm came and ripped them apart without warning. In the chaos, they lost everything-including each other. Left with nothing but grief and unanswered questions, both were forced to survive in a world that no longer felt like home. Ten years later, survival looks different. Kentrell is now a chart-topping rapper, known for his raw lyrics and haunted sound-but behind the fame is a man still drowning in the past. The storm never really left him. Nightmares, guilt, and a pain he can't outrun follow him everywhere he goes. And no matter how far he's come, he never stopped searching for the one person he lost that night. Dejahnae, now a trauma therapist, has dedicated her life to helping others heal... even though she never truly healed herself. She's learned how to carry pain, how to bury it, how to smile through it-but not how to let it go. When fate unexpectedly brings them face-to-face again, the reunion isn't what either of them imagined. Because love didn't disappear that night... but trust did. Old wounds reopen, buried truths rise to the surface, and the question they've both avoided for years finally demands an answer- Did you leave me... or did I lose you? As past and present collide, Dejahnae and Kentrell must confront the storm that still lives inside them. Because this time, it's not just about finding each other again... It's about deciding if they can survive each other.

"From the start I know I should have told ya, and now you know, girl." He pushed the loose curls back to see her clearly, she looked up at her through the wet lashes a small sigh leaving her lips. "You're asking me to sacrifice my relationship with my family. Are we on borrowed time or are you just someone I made up in my head ?" He laid his forehead against hers, running his thumb over the wet tear. "I'm here wit' you. Every step of the way it's real love and I thank you for that." He kissed her lips, her body immediately falling into his as she melted into the kiss.
