Been Holding The #5 spot down In Shooting for Like a Month an A Half ❤️🤣 #2/ shooting / 314 #1/#2 contemporary lit / 1123 Love ain't always enough to save you. Sometimes, it's the very thing that breaks you. Trenton has spent his whole life surviving-dodging bullets, burying pain, and protecting the people he loves from a world that never protected him. With a criminal record, a temper too hot to tame, and three siblings depending on him, he's got no room for softness. No room for mistakes. Then Angel shows up. Quiet, country-raised, and guarded, Angel is running from her own demons-a controlling home, a past of silence, and a future she desperately wants to claim as her own. She never meant to fall for a street boy with a bad reputation and a guarded heart. But Trenton is more than his past, and she sees the man hiding beneath the violence, the pain, and the anger. Together, they find a rare kind of peace. But peace doesn't last in a world built on loyalty, betrayal, and blood. When secrets unravel and the streets come knocking, Angel is forced to choose between the love that set her free-and the self she finally found without it. Raw, emotional, and unflinchingly real, this urban love story cuts deep into the truths we bury and the hearts we break trying to heal. ● Instagram accts For inspo ~ this isn't A fan fic of any person.

Niah Monroe, a 26-year-old ambitious woman working her way through grad school, has always kept her life on the straight and narrow. She's loyal to her best friend, and she avoids men who could derail her goals. But then enters Khalil "Khaos" Mercer, 32, her best friend's older brother-fresh out after serving time, running the family's underground hustle, and building an empire of his own. He's dark, dangerous, and the one man she's never allowed herself to want. When circumstances force them together-him needing her brain and discipline to clean up his business moves, her needing his protection after a brush with street danger-the forbidden attraction between them sparks into a full-blown, undeniable passion.

Jaxson 'Gunna' Gilberto is no stranger to betrayal or taking losses. Death has played in the shadows of his life since he stepped foot into the streets at 12 to protect his best friend Karter Gilberto. Now at the age of 33, Gunna is the only of his generation of Gilbertos to live and speak on how the streets don't love a soul. When the streets come calling for his only son Jacob Gilberto, Gunna finds himself back to showing the city that tried to break his family that he is not to be played with. Nor will the reaper claim his son before he can shape him into a better man. Nicole 'Coca' Brown is no stranger to struggle. Death has played in the shadows of her life as she follows in the footsteps of her mother. Never seeing a healthy relationship in her life, Nicole seems to keep attracting the same type of men. When her path crosses with Gunna because of some trouble her brother finds himself into, Nicole is ready to fight. But Gunna doesn't have a fight for Nicole. He's drawn to her need to protect her brother the way he wants to protect his son. Jaxson can tell life has taken Nicole through the same flames of hell he's been through himself. Nicole isn't looking to be saved, and Jaxson isn't the type to save a woman after the betrayal of his girlfriends. But somehow Gunna finds himself wanting to make whatever Coca wants law.
