And if a war between families isn’t enough, at the center of this conflict lies a beautiful, timid yet elegant layer that threatens to change the course of everyone’s lives.

Five years. Half a decade. One Thousand eight hundred twenty-five days. Forty-three thousand eight hundred hours. Two million six hundred twenty-eight thousand minutes. Measuring the time, a lot can happen in five years.
Aphrodite Greer was born and raised in the bricks - projects in Jagoda Bay. She met the love of her life, Baguette, on that very soil. The ghetto goddess had her entire life mapped out for her, and just like most life plans, things took a turn for the worse. Infidelity, losing her baby girl Athena, and constant fights with her lover's mistress turned her from a rigid, dope boy’s Queen to a soft, put-up businesswoman. With five years between their failed relationship, Baguette and Aphrodite remain best friends, and since Baguette has moved on, his current girlfriend has also joined their circle of friendship.
Tuscany Payne is everything a reformed dope boy could want in a partner. She has beauty, personality, and brains. Not only is she the total package, but she also helped turn Playboy Baguette into a man. But as time passes, Tuscany feels helpless because she can not seem to help her man get over his grief of losing his only child.
In this exhilarating Novel, you’ll not only laugh with the characters, but you’ll love with them, cry with them and feel for them in the end. Some say three is a crowd.

Naji Ali is a former model living with Tourette syndrome, a sharp tongue, and a heart stitched together with abandonment, betrayal, and survival. She’s introverted, guarded, and quiet by choice. She's a woman who learned early that silence is safer than trust. She’s used to being stared at, misunderstood, and hiding in plain sight. But fate doesn’t ask for permission to interrupt your peaceful life; it just shows up and shifts everything.

Imanio Kors is a savage dressed in strategy. To the world, he’s an ununreadable, polished grumpy billionaire CEO, but behind the tailored suits and cold silence lies something far more dangerous.

When a twisted chain of events forces their worlds to collide, Naji and Imanio find themselves in a marriage of convenience wrapped in secrecy and guarded devotion. The more she learns about the man behind the empire, and the more he falls for the girl with the unfiltered mouth and haunted eyes, the less either of them can pretend this is just survival.

Sometimes love doesn’t come in soft landings; sometimes it starts the moment you see something you were never supposed to survive.","3.0",[],[314],"Invisible Bars","ef9d96ba-d7ca-4f02-9005-7bcdcfebda07","Oct 2025","86-invisible-bars",{"_42":35,"_27":137,"_138":139,"_140":63},806,"October 1, 2025","B0FTGM45JN","#e1a645","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/86i/ef9d96ba-d7ca-4f02-9005-7bcdcfebda07.jpg",{"_42":315,"_27":316,"_120":317,"_148":-5,"_149":-5,"_52":318,"_151":319},"dae6a6e9-d02f-4bf5-adca-a2e67b627935","Alecia J","14-alecia-j",9,[153],"b88a4ffd-d4a2-4869-8d68-67c74c0c5275","Chosyn Ashland learned the hard way that love is nothing but a loaded gun, dangerous, unpredictable, and bound to leave scars. Betrayal hardened her heart, and she swore never to fall again, especially not for Wolfe. His touch is a battlefield, igniting fears she’s spent years burying, yet stirring desires too powerful to ignore. Beneath her ice cold exterior lies a woman craving something real, something that won’t shatter her all over again.

Wolfe Gravehart moves through life like a phantom, silent, lethal, and deadly. Loyalty to his brothers runs in his blood, but when it comes to Chosyn...there’s no line he won’t cross. She’s chaos wrapped in beauty & the peace his heart has never known.

Meadow Green is running out of room to breathe.

Her family’s land is on the brink of foreclosure, her mama’s health is slipping, and every unpaid notice feels like another clock ticking. She grew up on the green. Dirt under her nails, expectations on her back, carrying a legacy that never cared if she was tired. Being the only daughter taught her how to hold things together, even when they’re falling apart.

What starts as friction across the fairway turns into something neither of them planned.
