Friendship, Love, and Hip Hop investigates how young Black men live and change inside a mental institution in contemporary America.

The ocean was my sanctuary, my purpose-until he showed up with his tailored suits and billionaire charm, threatening everything I thought I stood for. When Alec Steele, a tech mogul with a reputation for disruption, asks me to design a sustainable water feature for his luxury resort, I know it's more than just a job-it's a test. A test of my patience, my principles, and, apparently, my ability to resist infuriatingly attractive billionaires. Alec says all the right things about legacy and sustainability, but can I trust a man who sees the ocean as a business opportunity rather than a fragile ecosystem? As we clash over every detail, the lines between our battles and our connection blur, leaving me questioning everything. With the stakes rising-professionally and personally-my work becomes more than a project. It's a battleground for our convictions, and maybe, just maybe, a place where trust and love can grow amidst the chaos. But Alec has secrets, and I have walls built from years of fighting to protect what matters. Can we dismantle them in time to build something that lasts, or will our differences tear us-and the project-apart? For readers who love slow-burn tension, enemies-to-lovers chemistry, and a love story that proves even the most unlikely matches can create something extraordinary.
