Zahir "Zah" Creed has always been the quietest and most calculated of his brothers-the one who watches longer, thinks deeper, and moves last because his moves end things. After surviving a gunshot wound that should've taken him out, Zah's mindset hardens into something darker, colder, and brutally precise. He now runs the Creed family's underground operations with an iron hand and zero tolerance for mistakes. Loyalty buys protection, money, power-everything a person could want. Betrayal buys a grave. Emotions are a liability he buried a long time ago... until the one woman capable of unraveling him resurfaces and reminds him exactly where his weakness lives. Celeste Jones is Atlanta's top defense attorney-polished, brilliant, and born into a family that planned her entire life before she ever got a say. From her education to her engagement, everything has been carefully curated to fit her parents' idea of success. She's engaged to Darrell Harris, a fellow lawyer who looks perfect on paper but hides who he really is beneath a well-crafted persona. Celeste knows something is wrong, but years of obligation and expectation have taught her how to swallow her instincts. That is, until a call pulls her back into a past she was never allowed to choose. At one point in her life, Zahir Creed was all she knew. Their bond was intense, consuming, and dangerous-so dangerous that her parents made sure to tear them apart before it could ruin everything they'd built for her. Now Zah is back, darker, more powerful, and no longer willing to stay in the shadows of her life. The man she once loved is now the man her world should fear, and he's making it clear he isn't leaving this time. As old feelings collide with present danger, Celeste is forced to choose between the life that was designed for her and the man who has always owned the parts of her she's never been able to control.

"Oh, have you given up already? Bad. Don't give up so easily, husband. You have to bear with me all your life." He held my arms and pulled me closer. "I'm not good at taking tantrums."

This story follows Bishop - Alamo Brown's calm, terrifying right-hand man - and Darcie, a quiet 22-year-old girl who accidentally wanders into the wrong world and somehow becomes the only soft thing left in HIS life. I do not own any of the euphoria characters in this story except my own.

They grew up together. Nate Jacobs and Lila Maren Whitemore had been inseparable for as long as anyone could remember-through childhood, through high school, and into the messy reality they now lived in. He became one of the most recognized football players in school, the kind of guy people watched, talked about, wanted. And she... she was the quiet one. The soft one. The one who never asked for attention, yet somehow kept all of his. Because while everyone else wanted Nate Jacobs, he only ever wanted her. And somewhere along the way, that want turned into something deeper-something possessive, something he couldn't control.

Honey and Fez were never supposed to make it this far. Five years later, they're still standing side by side. Ride together. Die together.

❝Book 3 in the 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 series His hand comes down hard on my ass─𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘱─then squeezes the flesh firmly, fingers digging in before releasing, the rhythm matching every sharp snap of his hips behind me. He leans forward over me, one hand braced beside mine on the counter, boxing me in. The other slides down from my waist to my hips, gripping and shifting me slightly, tilting me until I'm angled exactly how he wants. "You like this position, don't you?" He mutters roughly, adjusting me again, yanking my hips back into him so every thrust lands deeper and harder. "I like when you take control." I breathe, my voice shaky with heat. He smirks against my shoulder, giving a sharper thrust that drives straight into my core. Not enough to hurt, but enough to remind me who's setting the pace. "You say that like I ever don't." He mutters, voice rough. ❞ *** After surviving the storms that nearly tore them apart, 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 and 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 finally have what they've always wanted─each other, a home filled with love and the sweet sound of their baby boy's giggles.
