Her family came from the islands to find a place in America, but with no money or family to turn to, they quickly saw the American dream wasn't all it was caked up to be. With their mother going into prostitution and having men in and out, that soon became apart of their life. Twelve years later, Ebony is a dime piece who strips at 'Rough Riders'. On the side though, she works for her brother, as a set up woman. With the body of a vixen, a smile of an angel, and a heart of gold, she's any mans desire. Sad part is all of the men in her life, have done nothing but abuse and hurt her. One fateful night, she robs a member of the St.Nickolas Crew, who are the number one drug connects in the U.S. and quickly finds herself in a tornado of trouble. She is now in debt to the green eyed monster, Nikko. The dealer of all the southern states, and a very dangerous man, who has his own past full of conflict, pain, and death. Never would they have thought their paths connected in more ways then business, but they soon find themselves in a frenzy of feelings, bonds, and temptation. Will the cold-hearted, help the broken-hearted, and will the abused be able to heal one another? Slow and steady wins the race, but in the hood you could die on the chase. Follow the tale of danger, love, and dishonor. It's all about Game Recognizing Game!
𝗜𝗩𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗝𝗘𝗡𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗦 is the perfect little ballerina - soft-spoken, obedient, and untouched by the world that sold her. To everyone else, she's just a quiet girl with lowered eyes and pointed toes.
But 𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗔𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗢 knows better.
He sees the way her hands tremble.
The way her smile doesn't reach her eyes.
The way she obeys like she's afraid not to.
And it pulls him in.
She was promised to him-a contract sealed in blood, not love-and now she belongs to a man as cold as he is calculated and controlling. Rafael doesn't crave her affection. He isn't looking to be wanted. What he wants is to unravel her. To possess every piece of the girl the world calls delicate.
But Ivory isn't fragile. She's fractured.
And the closer he gets, the more she falls apart for him.
In a world of shadows, power, and pain, their connection becomes something twisted. Addictive. Dangerous.
Because when you give yourself to a monster...
you don't get to choose what parts of you he keeps.
And when control slips...
Desire takes its place.
And Rafael never loses.
