Arabella Hilaire is an artist who has always survived by the skin of her teeth. Thinking life will get any easier is a pipe dream she won’t believe in. That’s until she receives an unexpected inheritance that turns her into a millionaire. The life she never imagined having is hers, but the changes it comes with make her fear she’ll never adapt.
Kain Carter is a product of New York City’s streets and a dedicated on the rise boxer. He’s grown used to both worlds coexisting until one night in the ring makes him boxing’s newest sensation. As he tries to decide if he can leave the world he’s always known behind for the one he fought to be a part of, everything he thought he knew about himself comes into question.
Arabella and Kain are both fighting demons from their past and trying to embrace their new lives. Love was never supposed to be a part of the equation, but once they collide at one of Kain’s fights, an intense journey emerges. Now the love they were never looking for but found in one another threatens to crumble from factors they can’t control.

Living recklessly in the fast lane, the twins flirt with danger not caring about the aftermath of their actions. Partying, popping pills, and getting money are just a few ways they cope with their untreated childhood trauma. Without the guidance of strong male figure and the love of a nurturing mother, they can come off as rude and callous.

For Hunter, life has never been easy. From birth, she was dealt a hand deemed unfair. With an alcoholic father and deadbeat baby daddy, Hunter is suffocating and no one seems to care. After literally being knocked off her feet by Nite, Hunter is immediately turned off by his rude demeanor, but she can’t seem to shake him.

The lines between reality and dreams are blurred when the past and future collide. Loyalty is tested, greed is at an all-time high and several lives are left hanging in the balance. Nite and Dai learn that no matter how hard they try, they can never outrun their past.

Have you ever felt like you were being watched?

Mila feels that way every time she enters her apartment. She goes to bed each night with a chill down her spine and tingles throughout her body, dreaming of a shadowed man ravishing her in the night.

\n
\n

Her first thought is that she's going crazy... there's no man standing in her closet, waiting until she's asleep to devour her.

\n
\n

But when she wakes up one day with suggestive bruises all over her body with no memory of how they got there, she realizes that maybe her dreams aren't so farfetched.

Amyris Jackson is driven by her desire to become a supermodel. At eighteen and against her father’s wishes, Amyris moves to another country, hoping to make her dreams a reality. Before she can hit the ground running, her life takes a turn she hadn’t expected after meeting and marrying Ivo Yannik—a man who lured her into the union under false pretenses.

Six years later, Amyris hardly recognizes the woman she’s become after being forced into escorting by an abusive husband. Having exhausted every opportunity to escape, she’s about to give up, but a chance encounter with the owner of a jewelry shop changes everything.

Frances ‘Foxx’ Matisse requires two things from they must be beautiful and taken. As a man who prefers having no strings attached or feelings involved, he has his sights set on pursuing Amyris. Foxx’s plan to get the beauty in his bed is halted after learning about her husband’s affiliation with the Matisse Corporation. Refusing to cross a line punishable by death, he tosses the idea of having Amyris, but fate has other plans.

Foxx and Amyris’s lives collide repeatedly until they can no longer resist temptation. While Foxx is providing Amyris a safe space, he breaks his own no-feelings rule and they grow closer. Knowing the risk of their affair, they continue to explore what could be. The odds are stacked against them, but could they make it work, or will the bylaws keep them apart?

Enzo Thompson is the silent by choice, brooding, impatient, and a dash of crazy, who goes by E, and is the Vice President of the no-nonsense motorcycle crew called Sinners.

He lived a semi-peaceful life since his mom died when he was 8. Now at 28, when he isn’t working at the tattoo shop or riding with the Sinners, he stays out of the way, usually hiking or at “The Den”. He has no use for women other than for a release.

Brelynn Deveraux is the feisty and spoiled little sister to Sin, E’s best Friend. She just found out her fiancé has no concept of the word LOYALTY, and yes, he cheated. When he refuses to pack his bags, she calls in the big guns. Her twin brother, Deuce, and their older brother, Sin.

But Sin and Deuce are tied up (probably not legally), so Sin sends in backup. He sends his best friend, E. Brelynn’s known him for a decade… and yet they never exchanged a single word. Not one. Until now.

One night flips the script and maybe their whole life.

She’s off-limits. He’s strictly forbidden. But when forbidden fruit is dipped in leather and rides a motorcycle, let’s say, resisting gets real complicated.

E isn't about to let her go quietly. Not without a fight. Not without chaos. And definitely not without passion.

Love. Lust. Loyalty. Revenge. And moments that will leave you breathless.

Buckle up, Buttercup! This ride doesn’t come with brakes.

What happens when a threesome turns into a polyamorous affair? The question is, can Charlie Thompson handle it?

Sure, she can. She endured single motherhood for twenty-one years after having her son Jaden when she was only thirteen years old. She even leveled up from making nine dollars an hour as a Certified Nursing Assistant in Lagrange, GA to the head nurse of one of the most prestigious hospitals in New York City. And you know what they say, if you can make it in New York, you could make it anywhere!

Sean and Shelly Fox are a dynamic and attractive black power couple who run New York Presbyterian Hospital, serving as the CEO and the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer). While their polished image charms many on the outside, including Charlie, Sean and Shelly’s relationship is much more complicated than meets the eye. Between the secrets that Shelly holds and the chain of events that takes place as Charlie is pulled into a pandora’s box of luxury, money, and sex, with two of New York City’s heavy hitters, expect controversy, drama, risqué locations, steamy sex, and a whole lot of mischief.
In the end will this poly couple survive this emotional roller coaster of love, or will they be torn apart?

The distinguished Dudley Brothers, reigning from the bayous of Louisiana, have followed their family’s blueprint and created a fortune many would kill for…including them. Leading their own successful Talent Management Agency, the brothers bond together to protect secrets of their past and fight threats seeking to destroy everything they have built.

\n
\n

Dykoyta “Psykoytic” Dudley was forced to step up as his family’s caretaker, a job he holds dear to his heart. He got it out the mud in the streets until his family got everything he thought they deserved…and he has no remorse for anyone that got in his way. He has always done any and everything to make sure his younger brothers never have to walk that same path, but now fate has other plans. He and his brothers, Dynisti, Dyneim and Dynver, are now sitting at the top of their world, but for how long…

\n
\n

Unselfishly, he put his family and their blueprint before himself, denying himself the simple joys of life. Now his family is secretly determined that he gets everything they know he deserves…even if he thinks he doesn’t. His bipolar personality, street mentality, and his unwavering desire to protect himself has created a man that fears nothing and never folds…until he meets Tyarah.

Tyarah “Ty” Reid is a pint-sized beauty with big Leo energy. She knows who she is and what she wants; she is just catching hell trying to get it. Prioritizing her family over herself, years of parental neglect, and a broken heart has left her somewhat broken-but never bothered.

Forced to take a back-seat to her less qualified counterparts in the white-washed world of public relations, Ty’s career is just as stagnant as her love life. That is…until the day the Dudley brothers swaggered into a conference room looking for representation…and swaggered out with her heart.

\n
\n

Now Dykoyta’s and Tyarah’s worlds collide as both struggle to resist the undeniable attraction of similar souls. As they work together closely to clear his brother’s name, neither of them consciously desires to cross the temptation of a forbidden workplace jump-off. Yet the intensity of their passion makes them question if they should risk it all…

One wishes to never love at all. One wishes to never love again.

Losing herself for a man who couldn't keep a single promise? That was the real wake-up call.

Long-term relationships have a special way of making a woman lose herself without realizing it. Avaia Smith finds herself backed into a corner with more responsibilities than she'd bargained for and very few options after putting all her trust into her boyfriend, Tre. Desperate times call for desperate measures, leading her to accept an offer from an old friend and spend Sweetest Day doing something completely outside her comfort zone—for one night only.

Avaia throws caution to the wind, determined to put herself and her daughter's well-being first. Her plan is simple: get in, secure the bag, and get out without any trouble or the wrong kind of attention.

Then she catches the attention of Montrez “King” Jones.

The King is a man with money to blow and plenty of time on his hands. Montrez was only looking for a little entertainment, but Avaia checks every box on his list without even knowing it.
