SOUTH SIDE SUN
Two years in juvie can change a man, but it couldn't change the way Carl Gallagher feels about the girl next door.

When Carl returns to the South Side, he's no longer the kid who left. With cornrows, a "G-Slim" reputation, and a dangerous new hustle, he's ready to take over the streets. But the only throne he truly wants is the one next to Hanna Ball. While he was behind bars, her letters were his lifeline; now that he's out, he wants every bit of her-and he's not asking for permission.

Hanna is the South Side's diamond-protected by her father, Kevin, and hidden behind the safety of the Alibi Room. But the fire between her and Carl is a force of nature that no one can contain. What starts as a desperate, heated reunion quickly spirals into a high-stakes game of rebellion. From secret nights in a crowded Gallagher house to frantic escapes through bedroom windows, they are playing with fire in a neighborhood that loves to watch things burn.

As Kevin turns Hanna's room into a fortress with steel bars and bodyguards, Carl is forced to decide: Is he the gangster the streets want him to be, or the man Hanna deserves? In a world of chaos, crime, and overprotective fathers, Carl and Hanna are about to prove that no lock is strong enough to keep a Gallagher from what's his.

Raw, intense, and fiercely loyal, South Side Sun is a story of first loves, hard choices, and the lengths one boy will go to protect his light in the dark.
