Gianna's Grit | ✓

Book 1, First Generation
Gianna Kingsley only came back to the rundown southside neighborhood for a funeral. The man who'd raised her had passed, and she didn't hesitate to leave the office after hearing that news.

When she arrived, however, she was forced to conspire with old ghosts to keep Kingsley Cove and her relatives safe from a ruthless drug lord; King.

When she meets him face to face, everything changes.

Does Gianna have the courage to take down King and save her elderly relatives? Can she resist the feelings she develops for him?

Okay, maybe I had mouthed off a little too much.

Alright, I definitely had.
