Trinity Allen-Williams and Alaia Hendrix grew up in privilege, surrounded by the shadows of the powerful men who built the world they live in — and the secrets those men never told them. 21 year-old Trinity is the protected daughter of Maliek “Duke” Williams, a man feared across the city. Trinity has always stayed far from her father’s criminal empire… until his trusted protégé Draco begins to blur the line between danger and desire. For the first time, Trinity must decide who she is outside of her family’s expectations — and whether she can love a man whose hands aren’t clean. 18 year-old Alaia lives life boldly and loudly, but under her confidence is a girl still recovering from loving the wrong man. When kind stranger Tamir is nearly killed for being associated with her, Alaia is forced to confront the parts of her heart she keeps hidden. Her world only grows more complicated when she crosses paths with someone who sees more in her than she’s ready to admit. And in the background, Tyson Williams, sixteen and misunderstood, moves through the streets with a quiet intensity. The son of a man whose name no one speaks, raised by a mother whose past still haunts her, Tyson is caught between three crime families without fully understanding why. Until now, he’s lived in the shadows — but his choices are beginning to ripple into the lives of people who don’t even realize how deeply their stories are connected to his. As alliances shift and old wounds resurface, Trinity, Alaia, and Tyson are pulled deeper into a world shaped long before they were born. A world built on loyalty. A world ruled by secrets. A world where love is dangerous — and nothing is ever what it seems. Some inherit power. Some inherit pain. Some become something else entirely. Book Cover By: Quardeay Julien
