In the heart of Houston, three lives collide in a world built on fame, danger, loyalty, and love. When the past refuses to stay buried, the streets become a battleground - and every choice comes with a price. GloRilla is at the top of her career, glowing harder than ever, healing from heartbreak and rising into a new version of herself. She swears she's done with toxic men - until producer Trez steps into her life with soft hands, real love, and a dangerous past that refuses to stay quiet. Falling for him feels right... until his brother comes back for revenge. Carmen Elena is a rising star with a voice built from pain and survival. Fresh out of a messy breakup with Big Boogie, she finds real love in the arms of Zion, a man who sees her heart instead of her fame. But when Carmen becomes a target in someone else's war, her entire world shatters - and the couple must fight to stay alive and stay together. Zion never believed he'd be the one protecting the woman he loves from monsters she never asked for. But when Carmen is kidnapped, tortured, and threatened because of someone else's past, Zion becomes the weapon he once swore he'd never be. Trez finally escaped the streets - until his older brother returns with bloodlust and jealousy. When Rylan sets his sights on the women Trez loves most, Trez is forced to face a past he thought he'd outrun forever. Boogie, still in rehab, watches everything fall apart from the outside. And when he hears what happened... he knows he can't stay gone forever. But just when the group thinks they've survived the worst, a NEW enemy steps out of the shadows - one darker, smarter, and more dangerous than Rylan ever was. Now, love isn't just love. It's protection. It's survival. It's war. In a world full of secrets, jealousy, fame, and revenge... only the strongest hearts become royalty.

30 DAYS OF DAILY GRACE is a 30-day devotional. It covers Biblical anxiety and fear issues, transitions in life, waiting and processes, relationships, becoming into the person God wants you to be, to love like Christ, and how to glorify the Lord in every aspect of our lives. Each day is composed of a Bible verse, a reflection, a challenge for the reader to respond to, and a quote. In the end, there is a page of encouragement to continue reading God's word. May the Lord bless this book to encourage and inspire others for spiritual growth.

These are NOT your typical writing prompts. I find most writing prompts too general or specific to be helpful. The ones in this book are just generic enough to spark your imagination and everyone's response will be completely different. Depending on your story idea, plot, characters and writing style, the response to the following prompts will look vastly different from another writer's. How does this work? Well, when you hit a roadblock in a particular scene, play with one of the prompts and see how your character responds, what comes out of their mouth. Then, let the other characters respond to that line. Here's an example. For the following prompt, I can have a character respond one of many ways (and I literally just came up with these as I'm writing this book summary). SAMPLE PROMPT - Ask someone to leave Now, what's the next line out of your character's mouth? Is it: -- You know what, get the hell out! -- Look, I'm tired. Can we talk about this tomorrow? I'll have Peter drive you home. -- Will you please just leave! I can't do this. I can't talk to you anymore! -- Either he goes or I go. Which will it be? See how all these are very different ways for a character to essentially ask (or try to force) another character to leave? The key is to work with the response that works best for your situation. You should have a sense of what the scene is about and your character's goals, but that's all you really need! I love these prompts. You can insert them any time you hit a wall. They always seem to get my creative juices going. Sometimes I find that I've gone on to write an entire scene and I didn't even end up keeping the lines that the prompts generated! It was enough just to get me unstuck and get my characters interacting again. I hope these prompts can help others too. If folks vote and comment to let me know that they've helped, I'll post 10 prompts per chapter for the next 10 weeks. Cheers! We'll start with a chapter and a bonus one too.
