Jersey Coleman has faced many hardships. From being raised in a brothel to becoming a dope-fiend. She finally gets her life on the right path until she is faced with a difficult challenge.

Paris Bennett walked away from the badge the day his older brother Elias was murdered. With no answers, no suspects, and no justice, Paris left the force behind-haunted, disillusioned, and hollow. Now he drifts through life as private security for rich kids with too much money and not enough sense, doing whatever it takes to forget the ghosts that still whisper his name. But the past doesn't stay buried. When the city's police chief corners him with a dangerous offer-go undercover in The Syndicate, one of the most ruthless gangs in the city, in exchange for new information about Elias's killer-Paris is forced to return to the life he thought he left behind. One lie. One name. That's all he needs. What he finds instead is Roman LeRoux. Cold, commanding, and impossible to read, Roman is the gang's enigmatic leader with secrets carved into his skin and blood on his hands. As Paris sinks deeper into Roman's world, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Trust becomes a luxury he can't afford-and love, a risk he never intended to take. But the deeper Paris goes, the more the lines blur-and the harder it gets to tell who's using who. In a city ruled by shadows and silence, trust is dangerous, love is deadly, and the truth? It might be the most lethal thing of all.

Eight years ago, Rae Mitchell left Glencoe, Georgia without a goodbye. No note, no explanation, just a suitcase full of ambition and a heart too full to stay. She was supposed to outrun the memories. The whispers. And especially Khalil Reed, the boy who once made her believe in forever. But now she's back. Her grandmother's unexpected fall pulls her home, and with no job, no apartment, and a scandal she's still trying to forget, Rae has nowhere else to go. Glencoe hasn't changed, but Rae has. And so has Khalil. Once her first love, now the man she ghosted, Khalil isn't interested in forgiveness or small talk. He's running a business, raising his teenage sister, and trying not to care that Rae's name still hits him like it used to. In a town where everyone remembers who you used to be, Rae must confront what she left behind-family, friendship, and the one person who never stopped waiting for her to come home. But some wounds don't stay buried. Some love never really leaves. And some promises are made to be broken... until they aren't.

kis·met /ˈkizmit,ˈkizˌmet/ noun destiny; fate. how do you know when you've met your soulmate?

Zuhrah is working late one night when she sees a scene which has her life rolling in a motion she would have never thought of.

After five years apart, Ariah Montgomery and Najeer Porter find themselves back in the same city, picking up their friendship where they left off. But as familiar laughs and late-night talks turn into something neither of them expected, they're forced to question if things between them have truly stayed the same, or if something unspoken has been there all along.

She was all mouth. He was all action. And somehow, they understood each other perfectly. Raven Cross talks fast, moves louder, and keeps her heart guarded behind the kind of attitude that makes most men fold. Scourge? He doesn't talk much at all. Known only by the name that made him a quiet legend in the streets, Donnell Mercer lives on the edge of respect, fear, and secrets. He's not the type to fall, and definitely not for someone like Raven. But what starts off as a well-kept secret slowly turns into something harder to control. And when the lines blur between casual and something more, neither of them are ready for what it exposes. This is a spinoff from the book My Slime. In order for this book to fully make sense, please read My Slime first!
