For six years, Patrice Loving lived inside a marriage that started like a fairytale and turned into a private kind of hell. Mentally, physically, and emotionally abused by the man who swore he loved her, Patrice learned how to survive by going quiet, hiding her pain, and planning her escape in silence. Pregnant and living with MS, she finally runs in the middle of the night with nothing but the money she stashed and the strength Carmari Davis never realized she still had. Then she lands in the life of Hazel "Menace" Knight a ruthless street nigga who never pretends to be anything other than what he is. Menace doesn't sell Patrice pretty lies or polished promises. What he gives her is harder, rougher, and realer: protection, honesty, and a love that shows up every day for her and the baby she carries. But with Carmari still hunting for the woman he thought he broke, Menace is ready to become every bit of the menace they say he is to make sure Patrice and Halo stay his.

You don't never have to ask me much Only thing you gotta do is tell me to pull up You don't never have to tell me none I'll read your mind before you even speak up

The wrong kind of lesson. Raven is just a normal teenage girl. Okay, maybe not so normal. Let's say she's your average 18-year-old... with a slight obsession with her classmate Carter. And by slight, we mean staring at his pictures for over an hour a day - without ever having the courage to comment on them, let alone actually talk to him. When it finally seems like she might have a real chance with him - a shot at an actual relationship - there's only one tiny problem: her total lack of experience with guys. She's 18 and has never had a boyfriend. Don't even mention kissing. That's when the school's bad boy makes her an offer she never saw coming: sex lessons. Can she keep her heart from falling for him in the process? This isn't your typical bad boy cliché. And yes - we actually like Carter, lol. Prepare yourself for drama, chaos, emotional rollercoasters, and plenty of moments that will make you laugh, cry, and scream. "He wants to belong just as badly as he wants to possess, and somehow that makes every command feel like a confession." ⚠️ Warning: This story contains swearing, explicit content, and may not be suitable for everyone.
