    About this series

    Scotland Craig had an easy and somewhat privileged life until she traded it all in for the love of a thug. The sheltered beauty had no idea what she signed up for, finding herself trapped in a loveless and abusive relationship years later, and with no one to turn to.

    Isolated from family and friends because of the one man she thought would be her happily ever after, Scotland is depressed, broke, and a shell of the woman she used to be. But when her man does the unthinkable, it is the last straw, causing Scotland to make a huge gamble in the name of revenge. But when that retaliation follows her home, adding yet another problem to her already hefty plate, Scotland must figure a way out of the hell she now calls life. And when a sexy gangsta enters her world, reaching a hand out to save her, she is tempted to take it, not realizing he's close to everything she feels is ruining her life.

    Lequay Compton, the laid back, handsome and charming gangsta, has only ever had love for the almighty dollar. With multiple successful businesses and an impenetrable drug empire, money literally ain’t a thing. Women have always been an afterthought and something to enjoy when he has the time, so long as it doesn’t interfere with his cash. This is much to the chagrin of his close homegirl, waiting in the shadows for their friends-tolovers story to commence. However, when Lequay has two chance encounters with the same woman, unknowingly, he finds himself drawn to her or them, no matter how many curve balls are thrown his way; the biggest one being his lack of freedom. Always determined and never one to quit, Lequay is steadfast in his attempts to make a seemingly unattainable woman attainable.

    But when he and Scotland finally figure out just who they are to one another, things take a turn for the better and the worse … for some.

    In this story filled with secrets, twists, and good Black love, you will witness the undeniable bond between two people who are fated to be together. And how nothing or no one, not even themselves, can keep them apart.

      The day Lisara Compton caught her husband in a rather compromising position changed her life in a way neither she nor her sons ever saw coming. Realizing too late that divorcing him would cause a domino effect of turmoil, she is now forced into an uncomfortable life that she can't seem to stay afloat in. With her eldest son acting out and a nonexistent ex-husband, Lisara feels things can't get any worse. That's until her ex betrays her and their son in a way that leaves her in need like never before. It seems she just can't catch a break, until she meets him. Prime, professional gangsta and heir to a historically Black financial institution, is the man to see in Los Angeles, and especially Crenshaw, a neighborhood in South Central, and also the place Lisara now calls home. He has money, means, wisdom, bravado, and the handsome looks to go with it. The only thing missing is that one woman in his life … despite the fact that he is in a relationship with his child's mother, Nori. When he literally breaks into Lisara's home, he is faced with an attraction that he can't quite get over. And when he learns she needs saving, in the name of holy matrimony, he is all too willing to be that savior. Having endured then beat a life-threatening illness, Prime feels leaving Lisara on the table in favor of Nori wouldn't be taking advantage of his second chance at life. So while Lisara is in it for the assistance, Prime is out to convince his betrothed that there is no better man for her than him. But what happens when the woman he's risking it all for turns out not to be thewoman he thought she was? And what will happen when Prime's trail of broken hearts leads to turbulence and tragedy for Lisara? Find out in this tale of love, betrayal, secrets, and intrigue and what happens when a woman goes from a man of God to a man of God and the streets.

      Things in life are never for certain, but one thing that will always be a constant is the love between star-crossed Couture and Khari. Couture Yates has always followed life's rules by the book, never once rebelling until she met Khari Compton. The handsome but tortured young boy who immediately stole her heart, only to misuse and abuse it time and time again. Nothing or no one could ever pry her from his grasp, not even his own mother, until tragedy struck, changing the course of her and Khari's lives as they knew it. With such devastation looming over their once troubled but hopeful relationship, Couture often struggles to move past it no matter how much she tries. And when she learns that Khari still believes in the life they both once dreamed of, she realizes he may have been the man for her at one point in time but not so much anymore. Khari Compton, the once reckless, hot-headed ladies' boy, is now a successful, rich, famous, and handsome grown man. Though years have gone by and the women beckoning for his attention have multiplied, his heart still belongs to his teenage love, Couture. Only now, he has tunnel vision so solid that any woman attempting to penetrate it is simply wasting their time, which he has no problem verbalizing to them himself. So it's no surprise that when Couture hits the ground running, he is all too willing to catch her and all too willing to prove to her once and for all there is no one better for them than each other. But with fiancés, fake and real, in the mix, along with jealousy, powerful adversaries, and longtime critics of their relationship, the two find themselves on a difficult road to rekindle. In this story of second-chance love, secrets, and redemption, you will witness how a teenage love so intense and so concentrated can stand the test of time, battles, and some formidable forces.
