In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is a death sentence, Karen Clark Sheard reigns as queen-not just of gospel, but of an empire ruled by her husband, Detroit's most feared and powerful Mafia Don: Drew Sheard. To the public, Drew is a billionaire CEO of Karew Records, a mogul surrounded by artists, executives, and endless success. But behind the steel gates of their mansion fortress lies the truth: a ruthless kingpin who controls the streets with blood and power. And at the center of his empire is Karen-his heartbeat, his baby, the woman he would kill the world to protect. Karen wasn't forced into this life. She chose it. She chose him. Because behind Drew's reputation is a man who spoils her, listens to her every word, and treats her like the crown he can't live without. If Karen speaks, it's law. If she cries, the world burns. If she smiles, he breathes again. Drew doesn't like her family around too much-not out of insecurity, but because he doesn't trust anyone with his wife. He wants her soft, safe, and wrapped in loyalty. And when they're alone, the ruthless Mafia boss becomes the most love-obsessed husband alive-cuddling her, brushing her hair, cooking for her, and holding her like she's his entire universe. He may run the underworld. But Karen Clark Sheard runs him.

Drew Sheard isn't just powerful-he's untouchable. As Detroit's most feared kingpin, his empire stretches from the streets to the boardrooms, and no one dares cross him. But behind the closed gates of the Sheard mansion, his greatest treasure isn't his money or power-it's his wife, gospel legend Karen Clark Sheard, and their two children, Kierra and J. Drew. To the public, they're a picture-perfect First Family-faith, music, and success. But in the shadows, danger is always one move away. Every choice Drew makes to protect his empire puts his family deeper in the crossfire. And Karen? She's caught between her love for her husband and the cost of living in his world. This family will face secrets, betrayals, and a love so intense it borders on obsession. Stick with me to uncover every twist, every scandal, and every moment that will make you rethink what it really means to be ride-or-die. Disclaimer: I do not own The Clark Sisters.

Karen Clark is the youngest daughter of Detroit's first family of gospel - sweet-voiced, deeply spiritual, and raised in the house of strict tradition and discipline. She was never supposed to fall for someone like him. Drew Sheard is no choir boy. The streets raised him, violence built him, and blood baptized him into a world of power. He's young, rich, and already running the city's underworld from behind boardrooms and bullets. His name rings out in whispers, and his enemies don't get second chances. From the moment Drew saw Karen singing on that church stage, he wanted her-and when a Sheard wants something, he takes it. Their love is messy, obsessive, and electric. He shows up to her church services in blacked-out SUVs. Sends roses to her recording sessions. Flips when she doesn't answer her phone. She's never known fear and desire in the same breath until she met Drew. And she's never known a man who would kill just to keep her safe-or all to himself. Karen's family sees the danger. Mama Mattie prays harder. Her sisters whisper behind closed doors. But Karen is caught in a storm of love and chaos, fighting to keep her faith while falling deeper into Drew's world of money, power, and blood. They love each other recklessly. Argue like enemies. Make up like sinners. They bring out the worst and the best in each other. But can a gospel girl really survive in a gangster's world? And when the streets come knocking on their front door, will love be enough to keep her alive? This is a story of first love, first mistakes, and the kind of ride-or-die connection that can either save you-or destroy you. Before the rings. Before the mansion. Before the baby. There was just Karen and Drew-and a dangerous kind of love. 💕

Sequel to KRYPTONITE.

The Clark Family legacy must go on. Please give it a read. P.S. If you take anything from this fictional story about the Clark sisters and their families, please @lovely-me93.

After learning that she was adopted and that the family she had known her entire life was not her biological family, Makaela's life completely changed. She was shocked to learn that her mother was a famous person and that she had siblings, but she was unaware that they would be the siblings from hell. When she moved into their home, things quickly got out of hand for Makaela, who had to deal with bullying from her siblings and their friend, which nearly led to her death. Fortunately, her biological father intervened and changed everything for her before it was too late.

going from the youngest and most doted on child of the clark family to a teenage mother at just the tender age of sixteen is not the ideal for anybody, especially not dorinda clark. she learns to navigate life as a young mother, with her baby girl, karen.
