When Summer Walters was six years old, her world was shattered. The day her baby brother Sean was born should have been a moment of joy, but it became a nightmare when the police arrived with devastating news-her father had been murdered, his body discarded in the woods. For years, she believed the lie that he was a victim of random violence.
But in 1989, at twenty years old, Summer uncovered a truth far more chilling. Her father had been a drug dealer-not just any dealer, but an informant working with the FBI to escape the grasp of the ruthless kingpin Franz Sanchez. His betrayal had cost him his life. Now, armed with the truth and a fire for justice, Summer refuses to be another victim. She is determined to bring down the man responsible for her father's death, no matter the cost.
Her journey will take her into the heart of a dangerous empire, where trust is a luxury and betrayal is inevitable. But Summer is no longer the scared little girl who lost her father. She is a woman with nothing left to lose-and everything to fight for.
This is her story. A story of loss, betrayal, and revenge. And she won't stop until Franz Sanchez pays for what he did.

Killer Queen (TRIGGER WARNING)
Two sisters flee Jamaica to escape death, only to fall deeper into a world of crime and corruption under the rule of a dangerous kingpin. When one of them falls for his right-hand man, forbidden love ignites a chain of violence, betrayal, and revenge that spans years-and costs them everything. After a brutal escape from Jamaica, Thelma and Valerie seek safety under Marquez Gomez, a man whose protection comes at a price. Thelma becomes trapped in his control, coerced into his bed while her sister struggles to survive his empire's violent demands. Enter Eugene Petrov, Marquez's loyal enforcer-sharp, loyal, and dangerous in his own right. What begins as stolen glances between Thelma and Eugene turns into an affair that risks everything they've built-and everything they're trying to forget. Together with Marquez's crew-Derek and Peter-they carry out a plan to frame rival Manuel Ruiz for murder, tying the sisters to the underworld for good. But loyalty in Marquez's world is a one-way street. As Valerie's unexpected pregnancy and Marquez's twin daughters with his wife Julia complicate the family web, Thelma finds herself caught between survival and self-destruction. When Eugene's past resurfaces-his estranged mother, his sister Polina, his late father's ghost, it forces him to choose between blood and love. A violent attack and miscarriage push Thelma to escape, and together she and Eugene attempt a fragile rebirth: raising their daughters Yasmine and Sapphire in peace. But peace doesn't last long. Julia, Valerie, and the ghosts of Marquez's empire won't stay buried. Love doesn't save you in this world, it just gives you something worth dying for.
