Nyla Kohl is a seventeen year old delinquent, caught in the destruction of urban life. Being a runaway at the age of sixteen, drugs and sexual abuse are the only things she's accustomed to. What happens when she is also caught between the love of her life and one of the craziest Kingpins in all of Mexico? Malakai Spears is not your typical street boy. He's got smarts and finds himself on the fast track to college on a football scholarship. What happens when he finds himself caught between who he is, and who he should be? Read to discover the truth behind the lies, murder, and deceit that unravels and ultimately ends just as these stories always do.

Johanna and Jose are from two different sides of the track, during the time of a power war between the Blacks and the Latinx's the two cross paths in more ways than one. How far are you willing to go to defend who you are? How far are you willing to go for love? What do you do when the two pull you to opposite sides?

Meet Cayden Young She is your definition of a bad girl: late for school, late for class, late to pretty much anything and just doesn't care. But when her education is threatened because of her behaviour she has to find someone to help her out of the mess. But for a favour another must be given and in her case she gives that guy 5 easy steps to get the girl of his dreams. But nothing is ever as easy as give and take and what will happen if one of them begins to catch feelings for the other? This story has strong language, violent imagery and sexual content so read at your own risk. I'm still editing... #1 BWHM #1 bw #5 geek #47 personality #12 friendfiction
