Xander King is the ultimate "holy" deception. As the son of the city's most famous Bishop, he's royalty in a three-piece suit. On Sunday mornings, he's the perfect heir to the pulpit. But when the sun goes down, the suit comes off, and the King of the streets comes out to play. Xander doesn't just run the city's underground-he owns it. He's got the money, the power, and a line of women who know better than to ask for his heart. Then there's Charity. She's the girl who just traded her old life for a Bible and a fresh start. She's trying to be "good," and when she looks at Xander, she sees a man who's just as lost as she used to be. She thinks she can save him. She thinks his cold stares are just a shield for a broken soul. But Xander isn't looking to be saved. He's fighting a war on every front: his father's impossible expectations, a past that won't stay buried, and the dangerous pull he feels toward a girl who's too pure for his world. When a body drops and a murder investigation hits too close to the church, the polished mask starts to slip. Charity is about to find out that the man she's falling for isn't a misunderstood saint-he's the devil in the front row. In this city, the only thing more dangerous than a sinner is someone Unholy.

Harlem nights never sleep-and neither do secrets. When Nevaeh Jordan walks into Rhodes Ink & Fade on a drunken whim, she doesn't expect the quiet, tattooed artist in the back to leave a permanent mark on more than just her skin. Malachi Rhodes is the kind of man who keeps his past buried beneath ink and silence... until her smile starts digging things up. She's the judge's daughter. He's the man that judge once sentenced. And neither of them knows the truth-yet. Some roads lead to healing. Other roads lead to her.

SEQUEL TO THE ART OF MANIPULATION Jonika thought the bullet ended everything-his empire, his hold on her heart, and the man she loved but was forced to betray. She tried to rebuild, to bury the grief under the illusion of a normal life. But grief doesn't stay buried. It claws. It festers. And some ghosts don't stay dead. When fate drags Jonika back into the shadows she thought she'd escaped, she finds herself hunted by the very man she once destroyed. His face is the same, his eyes colder, his love and fury tangled into something she can't escape. Now she doesn't know if he has returned to reclaim her heart... or claim her life.

Ask yourself this question.... What are you willing to do in the name of love, whether it is for a relative, or family or lover? A 23-year-old law student at the illustrious Columbia Law School meets a man whose entire presence rocks her world beyond recognition, leaving her in a deep state of several different emotions, all deeply rooted in the name of love. Serenity James is the sixth-born daughter of legendary Gangster Darrius James and the granddaughter of Lorenzo James, one of the original and biggest crack cocaine dealers. She comes from a long line of criminals and crime bosses with a deep and dark history connected with death, murder, tears, and despair, the dark side of living this life-that is often ignored or kept quiet, meanwhile, the perks of this life frequently shown more. As a member of her family, she is expected to always live with the thoughts of her family in mind. She was raised within a crime family that always stated that family was always put first, and anyone against them would face them all. This was a big message that her entire family believed in whole heartily, business-wise and personal, but what happens when she meets a man whose presence will rock her world like never before, Kyrien Wright? A man with his deep secrets and a crime driven family of his own who'll do anything to keep their power in the dark underworld of crime, drugs, and murder, even at the risk and violation of their children, who gets caught in the crossfire of a deadly war going back decades. - This book will contain mature content, including death, murder, and sexual activity, followed by betrayal, lies, heartbreak, and understanding. - This book has no connection to the FC or their real lives, everything is fiction. The few real places and events are only used to make the book feel more real when reading. Everything else is fictional. ❤

She's a man-eater with a badge and a body count of broken hearts. As a DEA agent, Jonika's mastered the art of seduction, manipulation, and emotional detachment - using her beauty like a weapon and keeping her feelings locked behind armor no one gets past. But when her mission leads her straight into the arms of a dangerously magnetic man, the game changes. He's charming, calculated, and unknowingly the exact criminal she's been sent to take down. By the time she pieces together who he truly is, he's already slipped past her defenses - touching something real beneath the surface she swore no one would ever reach. Now, with a federal sting operation closing in, Jonika stands on a razor's edge: turn him in and complete the mission... or betray everything she's sworn to protect for the only man who ever made her feel something.
