Gangsta Paradise

Angelo "Lo" runs the West Side of Atlanta.
Since the age of fourteen, he's been married to the streets-blood, power, and loyalty paying him back in full. Now a kingpin at the top of his game, Lo moves in silence with his right-hand man Trell always by his side. Money is long, enemies are many, and trust is rare.

Keisha? She's just there.
A year into a relationship that's run cold, Lo feels trapped with a woman he no longer loves, bound by history while his heart drifts elsewhere. The streets still have his loyalty-but another addiction has started to pull at him.

Paradise.

Leana, known on the pole as Paradise, never planned to stay in the club. What started as a way to pay for college turned into a lifestyle she can't walk away from-even with a business degree and options beyond the strip lights. She's beautiful, focused, and unbothered by the hate from other dancers. She comes to make her money and leave-no attachments, no feelings.

Until Lo.

From across the club, eyes lock.
She knows he's a drug dealer. She knows the danger. And she doesn't care.

Lo has been watching Paradise night after night, hooked without ever making a move. She's everything Keisha isn't-fire, mystery, temptation. One night changes everything, pulling them into a connection neither of them saw coming.

But in a world where love is a weakness and loyalty is tested daily, desire comes with a price.

Will Angelo risk it all for a woman who could be his downfall?
Or will he remain stuck between a woman he doesn't love and the streets he refuses to leave?

One night with Paradise could be their escape... or their trap
