THE UNHOLY | Dave East
Xander King is the ultimate "holy" deception. As the son of the city's most famous Bishop, he's royalty in a three-piece suit. On Sunday mornings, he's the perfect heir to the pulpit. But when the sun goes down, the suit comes off, and the King of the streets comes out to play. Xander doesn't just run the city's underground-he owns it. He's got the money, the power, and a line of women who know better than to ask for his heart. Then there's Charity. She's the girl who just traded her old life for a Bible and a fresh start. She's trying to be "good," and when she looks at Xander, she sees a man who's just as lost as she used to be. She thinks she can save him. She thinks his cold stares are just a shield for a broken soul. But Xander isn't looking to be saved. He's fighting a war on every front: his father's impossible expectations, a past that won't stay buried, and the dangerous pull he feels toward a girl who's too pure for his world. When a body drops and a murder investigation hits too close to the church, the polished mask starts to slip. Charity is about to find out that the man she's falling for isn't a misunderstood saint-he's the devil in the front row. In this city, the only thing more dangerous than a sinner is someone Unholy.Complete
The Coldest Goodbye
Arielle Carter thought love was supposed to protect her. Instead, it buried the man she loved. When Jalen Cross is gunned down because of a case of mistaken identity, Ari is left standing in the cold-grieving, pregnant, and drowning in questions that no one seems willing to answer. The city moves on quickly, but Ari can't. Every night feels longer without Jalen's voice, and every memory hurts worse knowing he never made it home. As Ari struggles to prepare for motherhood alone, the truths Jalen kept hidden begin to surface-secrets that unravel everything she thought she knew about the man she loved and the life they were building. With each revelation, the line between grief and betrayal blurs. The only constant is Rome Lewis-Jalen's best friend. Loyal. Steady. And present in ways Jalen no longer can be. Rome steps in to help raise the child Jalen never got to meet, carrying his own guilt, his own grief, and feelings he's kept buried out of respect for a dead man. The Coldest Goodbye is a story about loss, hidden truths, single motherhood, and the dangerous beauty of loving again when your heart is still frozen in the past. Some goodbyes end love. Others give birth to it.
