Zadie wasn't built for the streets, she was built to escape them. At 19, she leaves Philly behind and moves to Baltimore with her father, enrolling at Morgan University and focusing on her books, her business, and her future. Known for her flawless lashes and growing TikTok fame, Zadie keeps her circle small and her life even smaller. Because she knows exactly what the streets can do..she's seen it through her own family. Dakota, better known as Koda, is everything she's been taught to avoid. Over East, his name carries weight. He moves how he wants, makes his money how he knows, and stays connected to a world Zadie refuses to be part of. School was never his path but Morgan is still his territory through the people he calls family. When Zadie and Koda cross paths, it was never supposed to be anything serious. But in a city like Baltimore, nothing stays simple for long. The more Zadie tries to stay in her lane, the deeper she gets pulled into Koda's world and the harder it becomes to tell the difference between love and danger. Because in the 410... love don't come without consequences.

Rhylin muttered, laying on her bed next to him. He glanced at her. "You so pure." Then he turned his head back toward her again. "You really too fuckin' nice, mama." She frowned, her eyebrows pulling together when he still ain't answer her question. Rolling over onto her stomach, she closed the tiny inch of space separating them. "The way you ignored my question is crazy." She rolled her eyes at him, though the look on her face stayed soft. He chuckled, gently caressing her cheek. "Why you love me so much, ma? Why you with me knowin' hella shi I done did?" She took a few seconds to think before answering, leaning in to kiss his lips first. "'Cause I'm nobody to judge you. God love all of us, no matter what we done or been through. He created us in His image, to reflect His love, grace, and mercy onto others." The more she spoke, the more he felt himself fall for her all over again. She was so well educated and religious without being like them other judgmental church people, (aka her family.) She finished with a grin, "And I love your bowlegged self." A little chuckle left her mouth as he kissed his teeth, passing his hands over her face playfully. "Mane, fuck up." He laughed softly after it.

Two broken people don't always fix each other... but sometimes, they learn how to stay. Iceis never believed in people staying. Kaiser never believed in trusting again. But somehow... it always came back to Me and You.

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.

They said it was a fresh start. After budget cuts threaten to shut down a struggling public school, a prestigious private academy steps in, offering select students a second chance at a better future. But a new building doesn't erase old labels. She's grown up in a world of expectations, reputation, and pressure to be perfect. He's learned how to survive in a world where nothing is handed to you. When their lives collide-through clashing friend groups, a divided campus, and a shared spot on a newly merged team-neither of them expects to find understanding in the other. But the more time they're forced together, the harder it becomes to ignore one truth: Maybe they've both been fighting battles the other finally understands.

Show Up For YOU, Not THEM is a raw, empowering, and emotionally charged journey about self-worth, burnout, and finally choosing yourself after years of self-sacrifice. Julie spent her entire life being everything for everyone else - the dependable friend, the loyal partner, the peacemaker, the woman who accepted less without complaint. She gave endlessly, stayed silent when she was hurting, and convinced herself that surviving was the same thing as living. No matter how much she poured into others, she always left herself empty. Behind her quiet strength was exhaustion, heartbreak, and a growing realization that constantly choosing others was destroying her sense of self. While everyone around her thrived from her love and support, Julie slowly lost sight of who she was. But eventually, the pain of staying the same became heavier than the fear of change. After one final betrayal forces her to confront the life she's been settling for, Julie begins the difficult but liberating journey of reclaiming her voice, her confidence, and her happiness. From learning boundaries to rediscovering her dreams, she finally understands that self-love is not selfish - it's necessary. Set against a dreamy, feminine urban backdrop filled with late-night reflections, healing, ambition, and transformation, Show Up For YOU, Not THEM is a powerful reminder that you cannot keep setting yourself on fire to keep others warm. This book is for every woman who has ever felt overlooked, overused, or emotionally drained from constantly putting herself last. Julie's story is proof that sometimes the most life-changing decision you can make is finally showing up for yourself.
