STORY ON PAUSE!!!
When the streets raise you hard, and love tries to soften the blow...
Kael Carter is the king of the block-a drug empire under his command, respect in every corner, and loyalty that runs deeper than blood. Feared by many and trusted by few, Kael isn't used to wanting anything he can't control. But when he crosses paths with Amira Brooks, a successful, soft-spoken nurse with a sharp tongue and a softer heart, he finds himself craving something the streets never taught him how to hold: real love.
Amira lives a life of discipline, luxury, and peace earned through years of hustle and heartbreak. She's plus-size, proud, and not interested in being anyone's project or prize. When Kael enters her world-hood charm, quiet power, and a dangerous past in tow-he turns everything upside down. Despite his intensity, his clinginess, and the ever-present shadow of his baby mother, something in him makes her pause.
He's rough. She's refined.
He runs the block. She runs the halls of the ER.
And in a world where loyalty often masquerades as love, both will have to learn the difference.
With jealousy brewing, secrets rising, and emotions growing deeper than either expected, Kael and Amira must decide if love is worth the risk-or just another loss waiting to happen.
With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her.
But things all changed when their father got sent to prison.
Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home.
Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family.
Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff.
Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape.
And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls.
Only one question remains:
Which way will she land?
