In the South Side's Washington Park - where loyalty is currency and silence is armor - Brooklynn "Brooke" D'More Parker lives two lives.
By day: respected guidance counselor at Washington Park High.
By night: a single mother hiding the one truth that could shatter everything - the identity of her newborn son's father, Princeton "Prince" Diego Carter.
Prince grows up brilliant, dangerous, and watched. His father, Brandon Carter Sr., is a community hero with a criminal past that never died. His stepmother, Vivian Carter, runs Viv's House of Beauty like a queen pin salon. His half-brother, Brandon Jr., sees Prince as a threat to the Carter legacy.
When Terrell "TK" Davis, a foreman and part-time preacher, enters Brooke's life, he brings stability... and a hidden tie to the Carter family that could burn everything down.
Detective Lena Brooks is watching. She knows Brooke is lying. She knows the Carter family is hiding bodies. She knows Prince's birth wasn't an accident.
And she knows the mirror is about to crack.

To Obtain Prestige
Would you sell your soul to have everything you've ever wanted? Would you choose yourself over your best friend? Your family? When Marcus, Prince of Denmark, is caught in a highly-publicized scandal involving his ex-girlfriend and ex-best friend and cousin, he's forced to escape into anonymity until it blows over... But when his parents send him to NYC to the private, prestigious, and ultra-exclusive Weishaupt University along with his advisor Chauncey to chaperone, Marcus isn't pleased. While discretion is guaranteed, due to the super-strict NDA every Weishaupt student is required to sign, it doesn't outweigh the fact that studying in America means delaying his graduation a year. His feelings shift after finding out that Elena Vargas, the iconic American pop star he's adored for years, has taken a career hiatus to enroll at Weishaupt. When their friend groups intertwine and Marcus finds Elena showing interest in him as well, things feel too good to be true... However, in the small circle where the sons and daughters of politicians and barons roam, Marcus' trust issues are triggered as he unravels a string of secrets his parents and Chauncey hid from him from when they attended Weishaupt, including a secret society they not only were a part of, but created - twenty-five years ago. Desperate for answers and seeking to understand his family better, Marcus discovers, with the help of his conspiracy theorist new friend, that there is something more sinister going on at Weishaupt, and that coincidences are no such thing - everything at this private college is calculated, and no one has been honest with him since he'd arrived...starting with his own family.Complete
