Love never follows the rules it tests, tempts, and pulls at every fragile boundary between devotion and desire. Hearts on the Edge brings together four steamy African American romances where passion runs deep, and every choice carries a cost.

In Caught Between the Banker and the Baller, a woman is caught in the crossfire of two men one offering power, the other danger and neither willing to let her go. Scared Straight follows a woman who’s always done the right thing until a man who lives by none of her rules forces her to question them all. My Injury Time tells the story of a fallen athlete trying to rebuild his life until the woman he never forgot walks back in. And in Fall for You, an impossible love blooms again, proving that some connections never fade, no matter the years apart.

From glass towers to locker rooms, crowded streets to midnight quiet, these stories expose the beauty and ache of loving on the edge.

When trust breaks and desire won’t let go, how much is love really worth?

Part of the Lust & Legacy series four steamy African American romance collections where love, ambition, and desire ignite unforgettable journeys.

Lust & Legacy traces the thin line where desire meets ambition, and love becomes both power and peril. Set against the shimmer of city lights and the silence between confessions, these stories follow lovers who refuse to surrender to time, to fear, to the ghosts of what came before.

Each tale unravels the tension between hunger and consequence, showing how passion can build empires or break them apart. In the end, every secret leaves its mark, and every choice writes its own inheritance.

When desire shapes destiny, what kind of legacy does love leave behind?
