In 1950s Harlem, where racism, poverty, and secrets brew behind every closed door, eighteen-year-old Tariq Matthews is just trying to stay out of trouble. Raised by his strong-willed mother, he balances school, friends, and the heavy weight of survival. But everything changes the day he crosses paths with Alexander Moretti-a wealthy, ruthless, and much older Italian Mafia don. What starts as curiosity quickly ignites into a dangerous affair. Alexander is power, privilege, and temptation wrapped in expensive suits and hidden scars. He opens Tariq's world to luxury and risk, love and control-but loving a man like Alexander comes with a price. As Harlem buzzes with gossip, as church pews fill with whispers, and as violence creeps closer to their doorstep, Tariq must choose between the comfort of familiarity and the seductive pull of forbidden love. In a world that doesn't see them as human, can their love survive the weight of secrets, pride, and blood? A interracial gay romance set in 1952, gritty, raw and unforgettable.

*REWRITE CAN BE FOUND ON MY ACCOUNT, THIS VERSION IS DISCONTINUED Adonis had been alive for an excruciatingly long time. His heart shattered over and over as he watched those he loved constantly die, betray him, or simply disappear altogether. After countless centuries of struggle, he had everything in the palm of his hand and had no use for the dark, shrivelled mess that remained of his heart. Until she was born - perfection incarnate. He thought she was a myth, but there she was, the one thing he could love without fear, the one thing that could never leave him. The fated Blood Witch, with an immortal soul just as his. He would give her the world, in exchange for remaining by his side for eternity. No one would take her from him. But poor Adonis never imagined his precious treasure would escape him of her own will...

In a short time, Maryanne's dire predicament takes an unexpected turn-for the worse or the better? Only she can determine as she goes on a journey, discovering new things about the world around her and, most importantly, herself.
