Book 1, First Generation Gianna Kingsley only came back to the rundown southside neighborhood for a funeral. The man who'd raised her had passed, and she didn't hesitate to leave the office after hearing that news. When she arrived, however, she was forced to conspire with old ghosts to keep Kingsley Cove and her relatives safe from a ruthless drug lord; King. When she meets him face to face, everything changes. Does Gianna have the courage to take down King and save her elderly relatives? Can she resist the feelings she develops for him? - "You don't want no parts of this," he growled, staring down at me while still standing on the porch. "Kamari is my friend-" He was quick on the draw again, aiming his gun straight at my head. My relatives gasped, and even I thought he was going to end me then and there. Okay, maybe I had mouthed off a little too much. Alright, I definitely had. - ratings: bwbm; #1 on 6/23/2020 & #2 on 6/2/2022 blackfiction; #1 on 5/9/2020 & 3/2/2021 kingsley; #2 on 8/25/2020 & 6/2/2022 blackqueen; #2 on 6/29/2020 & #1 on 9/14/2023 gangviolence: #2 on 8/19/2022 - BOOK TWO: "Kayla's Keys"

I open my eyes to see her right above, smiling. She's so adorable. My finger lightly traces her smile line. "Don't you think we could do something else other than watch this movie?" I questioned. I laid kisses on her ear and neck. "Mmm... But the movie," she moaned. "We can finish it later. Let me eat you out," I replied. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Hazel lived right next to Xavier. Her parents made sure to always interact with his family by planning dinner dates. During those times, there wasn't much interact between Xavier and Hazel. He was too busy trying to hide behind his comic books. Hazels parents had taken this as a sign of a crush. Hazel denied it instantly. Years and years go by and the two still remain together.

When she comes back, she sees that not only has the architecture changed but the boy next door as well. He was no longer that shy nerdy boy. What will happen when the two relink? (The pictures within this book aren't mine. I edit details and change a few things.)

"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him. "That's not how it works," I mutter as we walk down a few more alleyways-the city of Manhattan coated in a light blanket of snow. Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.
