Love that was supposed to be forbidden , boundaries crossed that wasn't supposed to . How do you fall in love on DEATH ROW ?

Kason "Khotic" Brewster never planned on living long. At seventeen, he buried both of his parents in the same week. His mother died instantly in a car crash. His father held on just long enough to make Kason promise one thing before he passed. Take care of your brother and sister. So that's exactly what he did. Twelve years later Khotic is the man the streets call when things get ugly. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. Everything he does is for the two people depending on him to make it out of the life he's stuck in. He's content with that. Until Beauty Cardwell crashes into his world. Bee is nothing like the women Khotic usually deals with. She's a twenty-five-year-old brain surgeon, a child prodigy who finished school before most people finished learning who they were. She's blunt, literal, and socially awkward in ways people don't always understand. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Bee doesn't believe in pretending to be something she's not. She says exactly what she means. And for some reason... Khotic likes that. What starts as a chance meeting turns into something neither of them expected. Bee sees the man behind Khotic's reputation. The older brother trying to keep his promise. The boy who never got the chance to grieve. And Khotic sees something in Bee that the world keeps missing. But loving a man like Khotic means stepping into a life Bee was never meant to be part of. Enemies. Loyalty. Violence. The kind of danger that doesn't care how smart you are. And Khotic knows one thing for sure. Good girls like Beauty Cardwell aren't supposed to fall for men like him.

It's been some time since Xander King was arrested in the middle of Greater New Hope Church. One minute, everybody was sitting in service, watching Bishop King preach like everything was normal. The next minute, the feds came walking through the doors and snatched Xander right in front of the whole church. After that day, nothing was ever the same. Charity King has been trying to pick up the pieces ever since. With Xander gone, she's been forced to be the sole provider for their daughter, Xylah. The life she thought she was building with him got flipped upside down, and now she's trying to be strong for her baby while still dealing with the hurt, the questions, and the love she still has for a man who put her through more than enough. And the King family? They are nowhere near the perfect family people thought they were. Bishop King's secrets have shaken the church, Victoria is trying to hold her family together, Genesis is growing up with the King name hanging over her head, and everyone is trying to figure out how to move forward when the person who held so much power in the family is sitting behind bars. But Xander King's story is not over. With his release possibly coming, everybody is wondering what comes next. Has prison really changed him? Is he ready to do right by Charity, Xylah, and his family? Or is the old Xander still there, waiting to come back stronger than before? The Kings all want redemption in some way. Xander wants to fix what he broke. Charity wants peace and stability. Victoria wants her family whole again. Malachi wants to outrun the secrets that keep catching up to him. Genesis just wants to breathe without the weight of the King name on her back. But wanting redemption and actually earning it are two different things. In The King's Redemption, the drama is deeper, the secrets are messier, and the love is more complicated than ever. Because when Xander finally comes home, everybody will have to decide if forgiveness

Xander King is the ultimate "holy" deception. As the son of the city's most famous Bishop, he's royalty in a three-piece suit. On Sunday mornings, he's the perfect heir to the pulpit. But when the sun goes down, the suit comes off, and the King of the streets comes out to play. Xander doesn't just run the city's underground-he owns it. He's got the money, the power, and a line of women who know better than to ask for his heart. Then there's Charity. She's the girl who just traded her old life for a Bible and a fresh start. She's trying to be "good," and when she looks at Xander, she sees a man who's just as lost as she used to be. She thinks she can save him. She thinks his cold stares are just a shield for a broken soul. But Xander isn't looking to be saved. He's fighting a war on every front: his father's impossible expectations, a past that won't stay buried, and the dangerous pull he feels toward a girl who's too pure for his world. When a body drops and a murder investigation hits too close to the church, the polished mask starts to slip. Charity is about to find out that the man she's falling for isn't a misunderstood saint-he's the devil in the front row. In this city, the only thing more dangerous than a sinner is someone Unholy.
