When nineteen-year-old Jay Carter loses his mother to cancer, he makes a promise at her bedside: protect his nine-year-old sister Nisha at any cost. Dropping out of high school to hustle on Miami's unforgiving streets, Jay transforms from a grieving teenager into a calculated kingpin, building a casino empire one dangerous move at a time.
But success comes with a price. Between the loyalty of his best friend Marcus, the love of club promoter Keisha, and the constant threat of rival crews, Jay must navigate a world where one wrong decision could destroy everything-including the family he's fighting to protect.
As Nisha excels in school, unaware of the blood and betrayal funding her future, Jay wrestles with an impossible truth: the very empire meant to secure her safety might be the thing that destroys them both.
Some families are built different. Some families are built on secrets.

Knife's Edge
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?

Loyalty
Nia moved like she knew the world belonged to her. And in a lot of ways, it did. She wasn't just the daughter of Lane Fairbanks- Atlanta's most feared, most respected kingpin- she was the princess of a blood built empire. Silk skin, almond eyes and a mouth that could bless or bury you. Nia had a way of standing too close, speaking too low, and making men forget who they were. Except Nasir. He was quiet. Calculated. The kind of man who moved like shadows moved. Sharp cheekbones, chocolate skin, a voice like gravel soaked in honey-and cold as the money he helped Lane move. Nasir was her father's right hand. Trusted. Unshakeable. And completely off limits. At least, that's what he wanted her to believe. Short story.Concluida
