Brooklyn doesn't forgive mistakes.
At twenty-one, Cherish Honor is doing everything she can to hold what's left of her family together-working doubles, dancing nights, and carrying the weight her mother left behind after dying from a bullet meant for someone else.
All she has now is her seventeen-year old little brother.
And Xavion sees it.
He sees the bills she hides.
The exhaustion she won't admit.
The way survival keeps asking more from her than she has to give.
So when the streets start calling? He picks up.
Around the same time, someone new enters Cherish's life.
For the first time in a long time, she lets herself want something more. Something softer. Safer.
But the deeper Xavion gets,
the harder it is to keep their worlds apart.
As love, loyalty, and survival begin to collide, Xavion is forced to decide what kind of man he's going to be-before the streets decide for him.
In Brooklyn...
every choice costs.
A blend of urban fiction, romance, mature themes, and mosaic narration
