The city of Houston never sleeps, and neither do the ones who run it.
Ki'ori Yasmeen Simmons never thought stepping into Zeus nightclub for a girls' night would change her life. She and her best friend, Ivori Davis, worked hard to build their names in the hair game-two women making a mark, independent and focused. But the moment they locked eyes with Xamir Saint Harrington, the man behind the city's hottest nightclub, something shifted.
Xamir wasn't just a businessman. He was a provider, a protector-sometimes a problem. He moved in silence, handling what needed to be done to keep his family afloat. His right-hand man, Ashton "Bullet" Jones, was more than just muscle. He was calculated, precise, and never one to be underestimated.
One night. One meeting. One decision that ties them all together in ways they never expected.
Love, loyalty, and survival intertwine in a city where the streets don't forgive, and neither do the people running them.
Some ties can't be broken... even in the dead of night.

In Her Head
Something old. Something new. Something borrowed... something blue. Cleo Cohen didn't sign up for superpowers - or for a second consciousness living in her head. When a clinical trial at Nova Pharmaceuticals goes wrong, Ground Zero rewrites everything. A butterfly flaps its wings - and a building explodes. Now Cleo is stuck sharing her mind with Zeke, a dead Supersoldier whose presence bleeds into her thoughts, memories, and sense of self. Outside her head, the world is collapsing into factions: Nova, Homeland, and something far stranger forming in the aftermath. Jack, Nova's unpredictable Supersoldier, is hunting for answers - and erasing anything that gets in his way. Cass, a Homeland investigator, starts uncovering a pattern that doesn't make sense. And Mr. E, a psychic who sees the board instead of the people on it, is quietly moving everyone toward something no one understands yet. Cleo just wants her life back. But the more she resists, the more the voice in her head becomes something else entirely. Power is a parasite. And in this story, the body is the battlefield. TW: This story can be intense. Includes themes of: self harm, PTSD, dissociation, body horror, attempted sexual assault, torture, cult themes and human trafficking.

Sneak Peek "Yo curiosity goin fool around and get you in trouble." I warned. "And so are your lies." She countered. "You're one to talk." I spat back. "Hey, I lie because I have to, not because I want to." I rolled my eyes in disbelief. Such a cop-out statement. "So what's the difference?" I countered. "Apparently nothing in your book." She shrugged grabbing her water bottle. As my brows went up, my mind trailed back to when we first met. She was a firecracker that stood solid on her own. And in those early moments, I had convinced myself she was the type to never give in so easily. Now, I was reconsidering if I'd given her too much credibility. "And you think that's healthy?" I pressed. "When you're protecting the ones you love." She said mockingly and I simply replied with a smile. . . First book to "DONT LEAVE ME" series.

The Beast's Possession [ON GOING...]
Alizey Tariq. Eighteen years old. The light of every room she walked into. The daughter every parent dreamed of, the sister every brother bragged about, and the friend everyone wished they had. Sweet. Innocent. Untouched by the dark realities of the world, living a life surrounded by love, laughter, and the kind of naivety that made her glow like a star in a moonless sky. She thought she knew what life was. She had no idea her real story was just about to begin. Khizer Shahid. Thirty years old. A man feared by many and loved by none. CEO by day, Mafia king by night. The world bowed to him - businessmen, politicians, criminals - yet he stood utterly alone, untouched by affection, incapable of tenderness. Life had carved him from stone, heartless and merciless, after a childhood drenched in blood and betrayal. At least, that's what he believed. Khizer wasn't looking for love. He didn't even believe he deserved it. But fate - cruel, merciless fate - had other plans. --- It started with a simple favor. Pick up his best friend's little sister from her university. A girl he hadn't even met before. A favor that would shatter everything he thought he knew about control, about power, about who he was. Because when Khizer Shahid's eyes landed on Alizey Tariq for the first time, it wasn't curiosity he felt. It wasn't interest. It was possession. Pure, primal, undeniable. In that single moment, he decided: She would be his. No matter what it took. By hook or by crook. By love or by hatred. He would tear down the world to have her, and God help anyone who stood in his way. When the cold-hearted beast finds himself bound to a childlike beauty... When complaints turn into pleas, When pain turns into an addiction, When hatred threatens to destroy what little love they have built, When the past refuses to stay buried, When the cost of loyalty is betrayal... Will he be able to hold onto her? Or will he lose the only salvation he ever had? *****

"You just kept lying, kept deceiving me." "That was never the goal, but-" "Intentions don't matter when the outcome carries the same devastation, Clarke. What was the endgame here? The exposure you'd get from taking my pictures or better yet, being pictured by my side? Money? Is that what you want?" Born as Alexandria Evergreen, but known to the world as ALEX. Alexandria's story is as familiar as can be in many ways. A classic small-town girl with a big dream to become a famous singer. Just another kid who found fame too young, got everything she ever wanted, and turned into a diva because of it. The millionth girl who let fame go to her head and clearly thinks herself better than others because of the number of followers on her social media page. The one everyone either wants to be or wants to be with. Right? But not everything is as it seems and maybe being known and adored by millions isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any. TW: Strong language, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual content, panic attacks, some mental, emotional, and physical abuse.
