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.

| Delilah Jones spent her whole life in the background of everyone. The background of her best friend, her brother, and even her mother. One summer, Della and her father were in a massive car accident that claimed his life. Coming back to school, Della has physical and mental wounds from her summer. Going into her senior year, she planned on keeping her head down and avoid all problems. But, her enemy of 2 years, Jackson Costra, had other plans. Being her brother Brooks' best friend, Delilah never got a break from the torture Jackson put on her. Ever since she can remember, they have been playing this hating game. Della had no idea why he started hating her, but she played along, until she realized the boy had a deeper meaning for his anger that was bigger than her completely. | Jackson Costra grew up in the most powerful and influential mafia in the world. Ever since he was 11, he was taught who his allies and enemies were. For example, their biggest enemy, La Famille, or the French Mafia was trying to get a hold of their operation. Just as he was getting ready to become capo dei capi, his parents gave him an ultimatum to secure that The Sicilian Mafia will always be on top. To make sure that happens, Jackson has to get important intel on La Famille, which just so happens to be Della's step Father's mafia. The only way he can get close to Ron is to go through his new family. Jackson developed a deep resentment for Delilah over the years and had to put up a façade of being friends with Brooks. He was taught to think of Della as collateral damage, but when he gets closer to the broken and battered girl, the mafia prince won't let anyone lay their hands on her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ psa: this story contains mature content.

Now she will have to live with the debt of temptation - When Poppy witnesses a robbery gone wrong and gives evidence to the police to catch the perpetrators, she finds herself in witness protection after discovering the criminals are part of a dangerous gang. But when her witness protection comes to an end, she is soon captured by the gang leader and told she'll give eight years of her life for the man who was sentenced to prison for the same amount of time. Poppy is forced to work for the spiteful leader, Rexx, who uses her natural beauty to swindle valuable information from wealthy men for his own benefit. She's been counting down the seconds until her freedom. When she stumbles across Gabriel Dalton, the underboss to the mafia, he's charming, attractive and tempting. Poppy expects him to be like the rest, only ever after one thing. But that's when Gabriel proves her wrong. After Rexx discovers her acquaintance with Gabriel, he demands that she spies on him to get information about his family and business. Reluctantly she wants to say no, but she has no choice. If she fights it, she'll get hurt-or worse. As Poppy becomes closer to Gabriel, she doesn't expect to fall for him. And little does he know, she's been lying to him this whole time. There is only one thing Gabriel absolutely despises and that is heartless backstabbers.
