A Sinners-Modern!AU Melody came back to Houston with a plan-stay low and stack her. Fresh out of nursing school and back from Mexico, she's ready to reconnect with family, find herself, and finally exhale in the thick heat of the city she used to call home during the summer. But Houston's changed-and so has she. But nothing threw her off balance more than him-Smoke. Quiet. Tattooed. Dangerous in the way a match is before it touches fire. A friend of her brother's, with a stare that says more than he ever will. What starts as late-night texts and car conversations quickly turns into something deeper, something riskier. Melody finds herself toeing the line between danger and desire-and Smoke's not the type to let go easy.

The Blackline is a sultry and supernatural, tale set in 1929 in the hidden quarters of Little Rock's Black district, where flappers, vice, and hoodoo tangle in velvet-lit shadows. Violet, a timid Gullah Geechee girl with nowhere else to turn, finds herself working in a brothel run by the enigmatic Stack Moore-a pimp with charm, secrets, and a past steeped in sin. But it's Stack's older twin, Smoke, who consumes Violet's thoughts. A war-worn man of few words, Smoke commands the room with silence alone.

When the preacher's wife starts protesting outside The Blackline, Stack Moore mocks her from the shadows-until her holy fire turns to something hotter. Plain and pious, Sister Marigold Baptiste hides a body made for sin, and Stack makes it his mission to break her righteousness down to the bone. Their hate burns into obsession, and soon she's sneaking out in her Sunday whites to be devoured in the dark. He fucks the holy out of her and sends her home to her husband full of his cum, knowing she can't bear children-but she can carry the weight of his sin.

Long term couple, Jordan and Drea, go out to the club one night for a date. While they're there they see a really pretty girl, Saturn. And they both want her

She never knew meeting him would change her life completely. She was innocent in his eyes and that's how he wanted her. She was quiet and somewhat shy, he knew he wanted her the moment he spotted her. He knew for a fact she wasn't like the women he's dealt with, she drew him in with one smile. She knew this man had her the moment he spoke, such intelligent words flowed from his mouth. Such confidence he held, he had her wanting to see him more after just one conversation. He showed her things about herself she never thought was possible, the HEAT between them was euphoric and addictive. ©️queenfaithmarie 2020-2021
