STORY ON PAUSE!!! When the streets raise you hard, and love tries to soften the blow... Kael Carter is the king of the block-a drug empire under his command, respect in every corner, and loyalty that runs deeper than blood. Feared by many and trusted by few, Kael isn't used to wanting anything he can't control. But when he crosses paths with Amira Brooks, a successful, soft-spoken nurse with a sharp tongue and a softer heart, he finds himself craving something the streets never taught him how to hold: real love. Amira lives a life of discipline, luxury, and peace earned through years of hustle and heartbreak. She's plus-size, proud, and not interested in being anyone's project or prize. When Kael enters her world-hood charm, quiet power, and a dangerous past in tow-he turns everything upside down. Despite his intensity, his clinginess, and the ever-present shadow of his baby mother, something in him makes her pause. He's rough. She's refined. He runs the block. She runs the halls of the ER. And in a world where loyalty often masquerades as love, both will have to learn the difference. With jealousy brewing, secrets rising, and emotions growing deeper than either expected, Kael and Amira must decide if love is worth the risk-or just another loss waiting to happen.

"I finally passed by the last alley before the one my apartment was situated on, when suddently my heart stopped. My body freezed and my ears were ringing from the loud sound of the end. The smell of death, fear and blood. It all happened so soon, too soon. She was just standing there watching as the life was flowing out of the guy's body that was now laying on the cold concrete, lifeless. Her tall figure... so powerful, confident. I watched everything wide eyed and then, the world had stopped. Her head suddently turned towards me and, oh my God.

I should've ran away." ...

I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away. "You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly. "Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who lays his hand on you. On what's mine." I said and crashed my lips onto hers. I kissed her roughly and possessively, I made her know who she belonged to. And if anyone said otherwise, they'd have to deal with a bullet in their head. * * * Nicholas 'Ace' King - Don of the Italian Mafia and the most feared person around.
