Hmbw Stories

Mara Williams is twenty-four years old, drowning in debt, and running out of time. Working double shifts at Mel's 24-Hour Diner on Flatbush Avenue while her mother Clara fights cancer at Kings County Hospital, Mara exists in that brutal space between survival and collapse-too proud to beg, too desperate to keep pretending the math works. When she crosses paths with Dominic "Dom" Reyes at a Crown Heights loft party, the attraction is immediate but the danger is undeniable. Dom controls drug territory across the neighborhood with a quiet ruthlessness that commands respect from men who fear nothing, yet something about Mara pulls at him in ways he hasn't allowed himself to feel in years. What begins as a transaction-Mara making courier runs to cover her mother's bills-slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. Crown Heights is their backdrop: its brownstones and bodegas, its soca music and territorial corners, its beauty and its blood. As the rival Haitian crew led by Jean-Baptiste Laurent pushes into Dom's territory and a childhood friend's obsession turns lethal, Mara finds herself caught between the woman she was raised to be and the woman survival has made her. Keisha, her best friend, is fighting her own battle against an abusive partner. A determined detective is building a case that could imprison everyone Mara loves. Crown Heights is a slow-burning interracial love story about the price of surviving a world designed to crush you-and what it costs to find redemption once you've already paid. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R.H.

He was a heartbreaker. Leaving trails of shattered hearts in his wake. I could never let myself become one of them. The only way to keep my heart safe and our friendship intact was to never want more than he could give, or aleast never let him know. ****** "How's Vanessa?" "I don't know we broke up a month ago. Once I'm done with a girl, that's it. We don't talk ever again." My heart clenches at his confession. A little piece chipping away, knowing I could never risk losing him all because I wanted to be with him. I loved him. Maybe a a few years ago I could rationalise with myself, tell myself it wasn't love, that I was too young to know what love was. But it's been 11 years and I still felt the same way. Sadly this wasn't just a crush. "Why do you ask? You jealous?" He teases. "You have no competition, trust me. If you told me you wanted me I'd leave every girl behind." His suddenly sounded serious. I turn my head to look at him, in our squatting positions. Our eyes lock and I almost belive him. I shove him to his ass and rise. "Don't play with me, Tony!" I walk off angry and hurt.
