Ezekiel Delgado would deem himself as broken. With light only just beginning to shine at the end of what had been an extremely long tunnel, he knew his mental health issues were always there- threatening to rise to the surface yet again. Zeke didn't view himself as worthy of anything to do with happiness, which is why he'd been shoving his crush on his boss and sister-in-law's best friend, to the very back of his mind. Well, trying to. Alexius Reynolds was the embodiment of sunshine. Never seen without a blinding smile on his face, or a book in his hands, he radiated happiness wherever he went, on whoever he stumbled upon. His one and only employee was no exception to that. Haunted by his own past, he and Zeke find a mutual understanding for each other...but can it blossom into anything more? *War must be read before this book*

Zane Delgado had his fate sealed on the night of his 18th birthday. Abandoned by the man he barely called his father and left to look after his five younger brothers in the space of 24 hours, his life had taken a sharp turn towards rock bottom.

Throw in the messy life of crime his father had left behind and yeah...recipe for disaster. Zane must now juggle being a parent and big brother, the people out to get him and his family, as well as his attraction towards a certain boy from a cafe, nothing gracious about all of that... *** *PREQUEL TO ISABELLA*

And can Aniyah be the one to send the weight of Marco's walls crumbling? *CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE BUT NOT RECOMMENDED*
