The Benefit Of Doubt
After their father's murder and their mother's mysterious disappearance, Carmen's childhood ends overnight. Forced to grow up too fast, she steps into a world of violence, money, and betrayal to protect the only family she has left-her younger sister, Maliyah.
Determined to keep Maliyah far away from the streets that stole everything from them, Carmen sacrifices her own innocence to rebuild the empire their father left behind. With the help of her father's loyal right-hand man, recently released from prison, she fights to reclaim a legacy that was ripped away by lies, bloodshed, and betrayal.
But no matter how hard Carmen tries, fate has other plans.
When Maliyah falls for a man with ties to the very life Carmen has spent years trying to shield her from, temptation, secrets, and loyalty begin to collide. As family truths come to light, the sisters discover that the people they trusted most may have been responsible for destroying everything they loved.
In a world where money talks, loyalty is tested, and betrayal comes dressed as family... one wrong decision could cost them everything.
Sometimes the people you're willing to die for are the same ones willing to bury you.
