When he meets Angel, he comes to realize the truth about love and racism. With his soulmate by his side and love in his heart, Cole has forgotten the most lethal rule of the Aryan Brotherhood. "Never mingle with their kind, and if you find a brother who has broken that law, ANNIHILATE HIM." After living such a hellish life, will Cole's past hunt him down? And if it does, what sacrifices will he need to make before he loses everything, his new peaceful life, or even... his ANGEL? (****Graphic Death, Sex, and Violence****)

Allen Cole McGregor was bred to hate. A fourth-generation neo-Nazi with blood on his knuckles and a five-year prison scar on his soul, Cole trusts only his name and the men who share his views-until the night they turn on him. Left to die on a snow-covered road out in the middle of nowhere, breath thinning, he welcomes the cold when it comes... and then opens his eyes to an angel. But.. She isn't what he was taught angels look like. Angel LeeAnna Brooks didn't plan to find a stranger bleeding in her path. She didn't plan to move faster than the fear growing inside of her, while hoping and praying that the man before her had no affiliations with the devil himself. After the swastika tattoos screamed their presence beneath his blood-stained clothes, Angel feared the man might be a demon, and she had no idea how to handle that revelation. Their collision is gasoline and a match: a Black woman hiding from pain and loss, a white man raised in a creed of rot, both trapped on a secluded homestead where winter is closing in and secrets stalk the walls. As enemies circle and old lies unravel, Cole is forced to confront the poison in his bones-and the one person willing to see the boy he buried alive. This is not a safe love story. It's a reckoning. Redemption has a cost, and crossing the line means someone-maybe both of them-won't come back the same. Trigger + Themes: racial tension, betrayal, survival, slow-burn redemption, enemies-to-lovers. ***MATURE 18+*** *AMAZON PUBLISHED BOOKS ARE EDITED TO REFLECT CHANGES NOT AVAILABLE ON WATTPAD* This is a Curvy Community Romance: #DISCLOSURE #CelebrateBlackStories #EyesLipsFierce #wattpadbookshelves ⛔️TRIGGER WARNING: This story is MATURE.

**SOUTHERN SECRETS SOCIETY: THE SEDUCTION** *Some secrets don't stay buried. Some desires should.* In Loveall, Arkansas, everybody knows how to smile, how to pray, how to keep quiet, and how to bury a truth before it has time to breath. Jolie Alise Betancourt is a gifted young Black artist with a scholarship dream to free her from her sleepy town, strict parents, and one rule drilled into her bones: never trust a man with a devilish smile, too much money, and too much power. Then she meets Stephen Benjamin Collier. Ben is a respected white attorney with a beautiful brown brick house, a broken past, and a conscience that knows better than to want the teenage artist who steps onto his porch looking for yard work and leaves with his attention. He tells himself he is helping her. Guiding her. Protecting her. But desire has a way of dressing itself up like salvation. As Jolie's talent pulls her closer to the future she deserves, Ben's world begins wrapping around her like velvet and barbed wire. Every stolen glance becomes a warning. Every quiet conversation becomes a confession. Every rule Jolie was raised to obey starts cracking under the weight of what she feels for a man who knows he should walk away. But Loveall is watching. Behind church smiles, kitchen gossip, old money, racial lines, and Southern manners, something darker has been moving for years. Young women have vanished and malice continues to lurk around for its next victim. When Jolie's eighteenth birthday opens a door neither she nor Ben can close, their secret calls maliciousness by her name. Their feelings become Evidence. Leverage. Dangerous. Because in the Southern Secrets Society, love is never just love. It is power. It is scandal. It is a trap waiting for the wrong person to tell the story first. **A Southern Gothic romantic suspense filled with forbidden desire, small-town secrets, interracial tension, buried murders, and a love story that could ruin everyone it

Earning a bachelor's degree in business and owning a professional cleaning service gave her the financial security that too many young women craved but failed to obtain. Though Sorrow's business acumen gave her the freedom to make any decisions she wished, difficulties in her previous love life left Sorrow somewhat jaded concerning the opposite sex. Based on her experiences, Sorry Olivia Shay makes up her mind that decent men no longer exist. Instead of searching for someone to share her accomplishments with, she invests most of her time in building her business. All is well as far as Sorrow is concerned until one unexpected event occurs in her life. A loner his entire life, Eli Asher Greenfield has never been confused with the "Jock" or the "Life of the Party". For better or worse, Asher is the "Nice Guy," and unfortunately for him, they say nice guys always finish last... or do they? Prosecuting Attorney Greenfield is a socially awkward introvert, who manages to navigate the painful yet shameful existence of a divorcee. By focusing his attention on his career, Asher secures an existence with no further mishaps. With pencil-sharp features, a tall lean frame, and an air of nerdy sophistication that some might consider "Dorky Sexiness", Asher loses himself in work to shield himself from women and the failures he associates with them. What will become of Asher and Sorrow when their business relationship takes an unexpected turn for which neither of them is prepared?
