Between Us
Six lives. One borough. Too many secrets.
In the heart of Brooklyn, six young adults are trying to outrun their pasts, survive the present, and protect the ones they love.
Mia "Mi-Mi" Santiago holds her world together with late nights, early mornings, and a fierce love for her little sister Brandi-a beautiful 17-year-old with a dangerous streak and a secret life Mia doesn't see coming.
Tony Del Gado grew up in the shadow of his father's name-a man with deep ties to power, danger, and a past Tony can't escape. He's smooth, ambitious, and constantly pulled between doing what's expected and doing what's right. When fate throws him into Mia's world, he starts to question everything... including the rules he was raised to follow.
Brandi's best friend Shaniya, the grounded and loyal "Pinkie," is caught between loving her friend and watching her fall. Khalil, the quiet new guy with piercing blue eyes, just wants to stay out of trouble. And Jerome? Jerome thinks the whole block revolves around him-and sometimes, he might not be wrong.
Love, loss, loyalty, and lies collide in this gripping story about growing up too fast, holding secrets too long, and learning that sometimes... the real battle is the one no one sees.

Spinning Out✔️
His brows furrowed in frustration. "You keep tensing up and it's making me lose my grip." I was tensing up because I didn't trust him. It didn't take a genius to know that. I hadn't been used to falling in a while. "You need to relax." He said looking me up and down. My jaw clenched. "Oh, so I'm the problem?" I crossed my arms. "You can't even lift me." I said raising my voice. This was never going to work. "I could if you'd stop shifting your weight." I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I was going to kill Jackson Nova. ------------------------------ Luna Martinez has been dancing for as long as she can remember.
