1. Always Bad for You

Ever tried to escape your past only for it to come knocking at your front door? Yeah, that’s Jordyn’s life in a nutshell. She’s moved on—new city, new business, new everything—but when her mama gets picked up by the feds back in Miami, she’s pulled right back into the danger she worked so hard to leave behind. And let’s just say, secrets don’t stay buried long in Miami.

There’s an old flame (Mega), a maybe-new flame (Roman), and some deep emotional scars that Jordyn hasn’t even begun to unpack. This one is all about family ties, betrayal, old wounds, and the kind of love that might destroy you before it heals you. If you like your drama with grit, heart, and a whole lot of "oh no she didn't" moments, this one’s for you.

2. The Case Against Thomas

This one right here? Straight cinematic.

Justine Sky is an investigative journalist who smells something fishy when a murder case starts circling around Bentley Thomas, a mysterious billionaire with a bad reputation. What makes it personal? The victim is Justine’s childhood friend. What makes it complicated? She starts catching real feelings for Bentley... even though he’s the prime suspect.

But Bentley’s got layers. Sure, he’s rich, charming, and surprisingly down-to-earth, but he’s also hiding a few things—like the fact that he was with the victim the night before she died. As Justine digs deeper, danger starts closing in, and the question shifts from "Did he do it?" to "Can she survive finding out who really did?"

This story blends romance, suspense, murder mystery, and high-profile scandal all into one addictive package. You’ll root for Justine, side-eye Bentley, and never look at trust the same way again.

Why You Should Tap In

These stories aren’t your typical one-and-done reads. They’re serialized—meaning you get them chapter by chapter, week by week. It’s a slow burn with big payoffs. Think of it like checking in with your favorite show every week. You grow with the characters. You start picking sides. You DM your friends like, "Girl, did you READ that last chapter?!"

And the best part? It’s all Black stories, told with the kind of flavor, nuance, and energy you don’t see enough of. Whether you’re here for the love, the drama, the mess, or the mystery (or all of the above), I got you covered.

So grab your snacks, find a cozy corner, and dive in. Because on this blog? We don’t just read stories. We live them.

New chapters drop regularly, so be sure to follow, bookmark, and tell a friend. You’re not gonna want to miss what happens next.

Welcome to your new obsession.
