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?

"You don't want no parts of this," he growled, staring down at me while still standing on the porch.

"Kamari is my friend-"

He was quick on the draw again, aiming his gun straight at my head. My relatives gasped, and even I thought he was going to end me then and there.

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

Alright, I definitely had.

"You know, I'm feeling generous tonight, so I'll let you decide." He leaned in, his breath hot against my cheek. "Should I use my fingers, or would you rather feel this gun inside you instead?" He smirked, enjoying the way my body tensed. "Which will it be, princess? My hand, or a barrel full of bullets?" Tears burned my eyes, spilling hot down my cheeks. My breath came in shuddering gasps as I shook my head frantically, silent, pleading. "A loaded gun is far more thrilling than mere hands, don't you think?" he drawled. The barrel hovered just above my navel, pressing lightly, a reminder I could lose my life any second. ______________________________________ Adunni Agbaje never expected to spend valentine's day running for her dear life. What was supposed to be a harmless outing with friends turned into a nightmare when she catches the eye of a god in human form, Ruger, an untouchable ruthless cult leader who has shed countless blood to carve his ideology of power.

{book one of the gang love series} * "How do I look?" he asked smirking at me. I shrugged. "Eh, I've seen better." "Really?" he asked sensually. He stepped forward towards me. I stepped back. "Yeah." He took three more slow steps forward. "Have you now?" I took another step back, causing my back to hit a wall. "Yeah" I replied in a low voice. He was now in front of me with both hands on either side of my head. "Well, you might think that, but..." he brought one hand down and skimmed the sides of my body leaving goosebumps in his path. "Your body is telling me different," he whispered into my ear. * Book one of the Gang love series Sydney di' Medici Black is an 18-year-old girl with a troubled past.

Becoming His by MelanatedByNature
31 parts Complete Mature
Cover by: @Enny101 Christian DeLuca is a very successful businessman with little regard for anyone he doesn't consider family, he's found work and life easier this way. What happens when he finds himself consumed by one thing, or rather one person, Alesha Moore. His plans are to get her, keep her and never let her find out about his title as a kingpin in the Italian mafia. *** "Alesha, where do you think you're going?" he asked in a deep and unsettling tone. "I just saw you commit mass murder Christian. I can't be a part of this world, your world. I'm not built for this life, if this is who you are then.." I let out a humorless chuckle. "I couldn't stomach today let alone the rest of my life. I need to leave, and you need to let me." My voice was so low, even breaking toward the end. Each word provoked tears to spill from my eyes and even more came rushing when I could see how what I said must've felt like daggers to his chest. "You can either stay and talk to me or calm down outside and we'll talk when you're ready, but you are NOT leaving me." His once sexy, endearing voice turned cold and sent frightening shivers throughout my body and I don't know who was staring back at me, but I could no longer see my Christian, not the man I love. *** This book contains mature language AND images, if you find that unsettling, I promise this is not the book for you 😬

Vision of Love Book 2 *read book 1 before this* You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. You could say were love struck. feb 2021-mar 2021
