Brooklyn doesn't forgive mistakes.
At twenty-one, Cherish Honor is doing everything she can to hold what's left of her family together-working doubles, dancing nights, and carrying the weight her mother left behind after dying from a bullet meant for someone else.
All she has now is her seventeen-year old little brother.
And Xavion sees it.
He sees the bills she hides.
The exhaustion she won't admit.
The way survival keeps asking more from her than she has to give.
So when the streets start calling? He picks up.
Around the same time, someone new enters Cherish's life.
For the first time in a long time, she lets herself want something more. Something softer. Safer.
But the deeper Xavion gets,
the harder it is to keep their worlds apart.
As love, loyalty, and survival begin to collide, Xavion is forced to decide what kind of man he's going to be-before the streets decide for him.
In Brooklyn...
every choice costs.

𝐘𝐎𝐔 & 𝐈|DE|VM
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.

Sinner (Completed)
"Mama, I can't just leave Abir." I admitted, telling her exactly why I couldn't do this. Not only would she be snatching me away from my family and friends but she was taking me away from the person I'd loved for five going on six years. I couldn't just walk away from him. "Baby.." She trailed off, sighing deeply. "I know you love Abir." She stood to her feet to stop packing for a moment and pulled me into her. "But I promise you, there will be other boys. Right now you have to do what's best for you and that's coming with your daddy and I to give you a better life." "Better life for who? You?!" I screamed out, becoming even more angry at her choice of words. As if my feelings were robotic and I could just turn them on and off for any and every person. "My feelings just don't matter to y'all at all, huh?" I asked, crying harder than before now. "Speak to your mother with some respect, Giselle." My father spat to me and I shook my head, watching as they stood there looking at me like some dumb teenager. This wasn't puppy love for me. I didn't spend 5 years building something, just to walk away from it for their dreams. I couldn't do it. Sinner. Book #1Complete
