Project Queen 
Urban Fiction
By Teresa D. Patterson

Shae Byrts is the undeniable star of her neighborhood, a self-proclaimed "Project Queen" known for her striking beauty and charisma. She knows how to use her looks to her advantage, but beneath the surface lies a desperate desire to escape her turbulent life.

This isn't just a tale of ambition-it's a gritty, unfiltered look into the life of a young woman navigating the treacherous path between survival and self-destruction. Shae's journey offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of escaping a troubled past.

Determined to break free from her abusive mother and the suffocating confines of poverty, Shae believes she's found her ticket out when she starts dating a notorious drug dealer. But as she delves deeper into this dangerous world, she quickly learns that the allure of wealth and luxury comes at a steep cost.

With a 4.4-star rating from over 470 reviews on Amazon, readers praise Project Queen for its compelling narrative and authentic portrayal of life's harsh realities.

In a life marked by blood, betrayal, and heartache, Shae discovers that beauty is only skin deep-and that the journey to becoming a true queen is filled with challenges. Will she find the strength to rise above the chaos, or will she be consumed by the very lifestyle she thought would save her?

Project Queen is the first book in a powerful, drama-filled trilogy. Follow Shae's journey across all three books in the Project Queen series.

55 parts Complete Mature
Messiah Voodum, westside Queenpin, is well known as one of the biggest names in the drug game, so much so that the mere mention of marijuana comes with the calling of her name. Even with all this in a country where marijuana is illegal in large amounts, she is unknown, her name rings bells for most but her face remains a mystery, and the fact only renders her even more powerful. The three-way alliance she has built between herself, her close friend Derrick (D), and her brother Dantae is leading the distribution game in marijuana and cocaine, not only in her country but Jamaica as well. With her being in charge of marijuana, and D and her brother controlling the cocaine she has earned immense wealth, but the wealth isn't all that her rise from poverty has brought. It also leaves her with a sense of caution that weighs on her shoulder every day and paranoia that suffocates, to such an extent that after spending years building an empire and taking care of herself and the people closest to her, she has dominated all aspects of her life except one, romance. So what happens when she finds someone who seems to be all worth it? What happens when she meets Grace Conley, a high school teacher, who she immediately holds intrigue for and becomes the one thing that seems to be giving her a reason to trust and desire love again? Will she dive in or allow her trauma to leave her restrained? You have met God, now meet the devil....

I Found the Babies

44 parts Complete Mature

Highest #1 - #babies #1 - #motherlove Terrence didn't waste a moment in pressing me up against the kitchen counter. "When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies." I shivered. ************************* Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices: 1. Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants. 2. Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails. 3. Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later. Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives. Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her. Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
