Meet the Character's
Back at One
A Second Chance at Forever
Amina Sanchez
I’m Amina Sanchez.
Marketing executive. Overthinker. Guarded heart.
Eight years ago, I walked away from the only man who ever truly saw me. Not because I stopped loving him, but because sometimes life forces you to choose survival over happiness.
Since then, I’ve built something steady. Safe.
A career that makes sense. A relationship that looks good on paper. A life carefully curated to keep my heart protected at all costs.
But love? Real, soul-deep, life-altering love? That’s not so easy to bury.
Because Milan Carter — the man I swore I left in the past — just walked back into my present. And every part of me that’s been pretending to be okay is starting to unravel.
Back at One isn’t just about finding love again.
It’s about finding me.
And deciding if love deserves a second chance... or if some stories are better left unfinished.
Check out our story in "Back at One."
Because sometimes love doesn’t need a rewrite — it just needs a way back home.
Milan Carter
I’m Milan Carter.
Artist. Founder of The Carter Foundation — a space created to uplift and invest in the next generation of Black artists. My work has taken me places I used to dream about. Galleries. Exhibits. Recognition I never thought I’d have growing up on the West End.
But none of it compares to her.
Amina Sanchez.
The one who got away… or maybe the one I foolishly let go.
For eight years, I convinced myself success was enough to fill the spaces where love used to live. I painted over the pain, poured myself into my purpose, but there’s no masterpiece that could erase her from my heart. Not then. Not now.
Now we’re standing here again. Same city. Same undeniable pull.
But this time, I’m not running. This time, I’m fighting for the love I should’ve never lost.
Check out our story in "Back at One."
Because some love stories deserve a second chance — and this one?
This one’s worth everything.
Chef Chaz
I’m Chaz.
5-star Chef. Owner of some of Atlanta’s most sought-after restaurants. My life runs on precision, timing, and knowing exactly when to turn up the heat — in the kitchen and outside of it.
Amina Sanchez?
She came into my life as a business partner, but somewhere between strategy meetings and late-night conversations, she became something more. Something I didn’t plan for. Something I don’t want to lose.
I know her heart’s still tangled in the past, still carrying the weight of things she doesn’t always say out loud.
What she doesn’t know?
I’ve got my own secrets too.
Things I’ve kept close to my chest, not because I’m hiding… but because I’m waiting.
Waiting for the right moment. Waiting to be sure. Waiting for her to choose me the way I’ve already chosen her.
But love, like any good recipe, comes down to timing.
And I’m praying I didn’t wait too long.
Check out our story in "Back at One."
Because sometimes it’s not about being the first… it’s about being the one who stays.

The Closer I Get To You
She showed her heart... He showed his cruelty..
Corrine Michaels
I’m Corrine Michaels.
Fashion designer to the stars. Bronx-born, bold-hearted, and booked and busy. I’ve spent years turning rejection into runway and heartbreak into high fashion. I built this version of myself from the ground up — tailored, unbothered, and impossible to ignore.
I was living in my soft life era, unbothered and thriving, until he showed up.
Yani Graham.
The boy who stole my heart and shattered it without even looking back. The twist? He doesn't even recognize me now. But I remember everything.
So I did what any grown woman with a stitched-up heart and a killer wardrobe would do — I flipped the script. Let’s just say this time, he’s about to learn how heartbreak feels.
Check out our story now.
Because revenge might not be fashionable, but it sure looks good on me.
Yiannis "Yani" Graham
What’s good, people.
Name’s Yiannis Graham — but everyone calls me Yani. Bronx born and bred, now making major moves in DC. I’m the founder of Melanin Movement, the go-to social platform for us — unapologetically Black, bold, and building something that lasts.
I’m a man who knows exactly what I want, and right now? I’ve got a good thing going. Solid business. Solid woman. Life’s moving how it’s supposed to.
Until Corrine Michaels steps into my life.
Out celebrating my birthday, I didn’t expect to be that drawn to her. Something about her feels... unfinished. Familiar. Like a part of my past I didn’t realize was still wide open.
I know she’s keeping something from me.
Doesn’t matter.
I don’t let go that easy.
Check out our story — out now.
Trust me, this one’s worth it.
The King Sisters Series
Gavin & Molina's Love Story
Book one
Not every love story is ordinary...
Molina King
Hey y’all, I’m Molina King.
One-third of the infamous King Sisters — the youngest, the boldest, and let’s be honest… the sassiest of the bunch. At twenty-nine, I’m the CEO of King Realty, where we don’t just sell homes — we deliver royalty-level service with a side of Black Girl Magic.
Now listen, love wasn’t on my to-do list. I was out here minding my business, stacking my coins, and securing the bag... until I bumped into Dr. Gavin Navarro. Tall, smooth, and fine enough to make a girl reconsider her whole five-year plan.
Call it fate. Call it love at first sight. Either way, this man had me blushing like somebody’s little sister — and trust me, that’s not easy to do.
If you’re curious how this love story unfolds, come on and check us out in "No Ordinary Love."
Because baby, this is no ordinary love.
Dr. Gavin Navarro
I’m Dr. Gavin Navarro.
Thirty-two. Pediatric Surgeon. Saving lives is what I do, but I never expected to meet the woman who would change mine.
When my career brought me back home to San Diego, I thought I was just returning to good weather, great food, and familiar faces. I was born and raised in a city full of beautiful women, but as fate would have it, I ran into the most beautiful one of them all — Molina King.
From the moment I met her, she ruined it for everyone else.
I never believed in love at first sight... until her.
And trust me, I almost messed around and let her slip away.
Want to know how one unforgettable night turned into something real?

It’s our love story — and it’s anything but ordinary.
Greg & Shayna's Love Story
Book 2
True love will find it's way...
Shayna King
I’m Shayna King.
The middle King sister. The one with the quiet strength and the carefully guarded heart. Out of the three of us, I’m the most conservative — but it wasn’t always that way.
Life has a way of changing you. Losing my parents and my fiancé left me feeling closed off, like love wasn’t something meant for me anymore. I forgot what it felt like to be loved, to laugh without guilt, to hope without fear.
Then I met Greg Navarro.
A photographer with a patient heart and a way of seeing me — really seeing me — even when I couldn’t fully see myself. He reminded me that love is still out there, waiting. That healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible.
With the love of my sisters and the possibilities of a future with Greg, I’m learning how to climb my way back from the sunken places.
But the question is... am I too late?
Or is Greg truly that somebody?
Find out in "Are You That Somebody."
It’s our love story — and it’s about second chances, healing, and finally saying yes to love again.
Greg Navarro
I’m Greg Navarro.
Photographer. Co-owner of Navarro & Black Photography Studios. Brother to Dr. Gavin Navarro, but trust — I make my mark in my own way.
I’ve got an eye for beauty, especially in the things the world overlooks. That’s my gift. Finding light in what others call broken. And that’s exactly what I found in Shayna King.
She’s my business partner’s sister-in-law. Complicated? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.
For over a year, we’ve been stuck in this dance, back and forth, feelings left unspoken but written all over the way we look at each other. I’m done playing it safe.
It’s time the world knows.
It’s time she knows.
She’s been through her share of pain, but I’m not here to add to it. I’m here to help her heal — to remind her that real love doesn’t break you. It builds you back up.
Find out if my love is enough in "Are You That Somebody."
Because this? This is our love story.
Who wants that perfect love story anyway?
Carmen & Troy Story
Book 3
Carmen King- Black
​
I’m the eldest King sister.
The one who’s always held it together. The one they lean on. The one who became the matriarch long before I was ready. I’ve weathered loss, heartbreak, and moments that nearly took me out — but through it all, I’ve had one constant.
Troy Black. My King.
Twelve years of marriage, twelve years of love so solid, so sure, it felt like nothing could shake us. We’ve built a life together that feels sacred. Protected. Ours.
But lately... something’s off.
Not loud. Not obvious. Just... there. Lingering. Growing.
My woman’s intuition is screaming at me, but my heart — the same heart that’s trusted this man through every storm — still believes in him. Still believes in us.
So why do I feel like we’re slipping?
Why can’t I shake the feeling that something’s pulling us apart?
Find out what happens in "Before I Let Go."
Because even the strongest love can be tested... and this time, it’s ours.
Troy Black
I’m Troy Black.
Twelve years married to Carmen King-Black — my wife, my peace, my home. Being with her makes me want to be a better man, every day. Loving her has been the most natural, effortless thing I’ve ever done. I’ve never wanted for more. Never looked for better.
Until now.
Her name is Zya Chase.
And somehow, she’s stirred something in me I thought was buried — something I’ve never had to question with Carmen. Desire. Curiosity. A pull I don’t understand, and frankly, don’t want to admit.
I never imagined myself in this position.
Not after everything Carmen and I have built. Not after all we’ve survived together.
But here I am.
The question is... can our perfect love survive my imperfection?
Or have I already gone too far?
Find out in "Before I Let Go: Carmen & Troy."
Because sometimes the real test of love isn’t in how it starts... it’s in how it holds on.
