Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being bad for a thug never lasted so good... Blaze never would have ever imagined in his twenty-six years of life, that the woman of his dreams would be dragged right into his dangerous, gangster lifestyle. The love of his life, Anika Scott is missing, and Blaze is out for blood. He won’t stop at anything until all those who have wronged him and his brothers, pay. Even if that means tearing up the streets of Atlanta to get his woman safe and sound back with him, by his side - then so be it. Revenge is the only option in Blaze’s mind to get everything back to the way it was before. He’s desperate for his trap queen to be back where she belongs. And knowing that she’s pregnant is only driving Blaze crazier and crazier by the minute. Blaze knows that Leek Carter is behind all the trouble that has happened to The Knight Nation and now knows that Jamal Coleman is his new partner. His only goal is to make them pay severely and remind them exactly why he’s not the one to mess with. On top of Anika missing, Kareem’s life hangs in a deadly balance, Marquise’s personal problems keep piling on, and unexpected appearances result in unexpected reactions. In the finale to Bad For My Thug, Blaze must conquer his enemies, battle his inner demons and stay true to his love, Anika. Will he be able to succeed in destroying those who have wronged him or will the temptations of Anika being away from him get the best of him?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up with a crackhead for a mother, Sevyn Lewis was no stranger to heartbreak and pain. Life had shown Sevyn time and time again that she could depend on no one but herself. With that realization in mind, it was easy for her to ignore the random boys from around the way. Until it wasn’t. With two of the city's shot callers both vying for her attention, Sevyn finds herself in the middle of a love triangle that she wants nothing to do with. Along for the ride, Jazelle gets tangled in a love triangle of her own when her boyfriend suddenly switches up on her and opens the door for someone else to swoop right on in during his absence. Just when she feels like she has everything in her life figured out, the tables turn, and her loyalty is tested, leaving Jazelle unsure of where she wants to be. A young love is supposed to be fresh, exciting, and shared between two, and in this story, you will quickly find out that the saying “three is a crowd” couldn’t be truer.

With her back against the wall, Jazelle makes a decision that may forever alter the way she and Clips view each other.

In this finale, the lines have been drawn, and both women know which man is the right one for them, but have they figured it all out too late?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asha has no other choice but to step out of her husband’s shadow and into the position she tried so hard to stay out of. As her husband and most of Terror Squad continue to search for Lashae, the ultimate threat has arrived. With the help of her new found brother Smoke, Jade, and her other brother Amari, Asha just may be able to hold her family together. Asha believes that she can no longer depend on Joc to make sound decisions nor can she run to the one man who has always been in her corner; her father. Despite her fears, she continues to be her husband’s back bone and prays that her desperate attempts to bring Joc back to the present will be enough for him to return to his rightful throne. Joc is consumed with guilt and rage over the disappearance of his little sister Lashae. He will stop at nothing to find her and bring her home where she belongs. He becomes even more enraged when he learns about the attack on his mentor and blames himself for not seeing it coming. He continues to doubt himself and the life he chose for his wife, child, and family. Joc feels like an outsider looking in while his wife steps into the role of a queen pin, but is soon snapped back into reality once he realizes who has decided to help Terror Squad take down Maino once and for all. He must pull himself together and devise a plan with the help of Gunna in order to save his city and all of their lives. Jamarcus has managed to escape death and evade Terror Squad to hide away with his one true love Lashae. His desire for revenge no longer take precedence over his desire to spend the rest of his life with her. Lashae has managed to convince him that she will do just that in an attempt to survive until she is found. Unbeknownst to them both, Jade is hot on his trail and plans to not only rescue Lashae but to make Jamarcus pay for all he has done. No one is safe on the streets of Chicago. Once again Terror Squad’s unity is put to the test as Maino and his son wreak havoc throughout the city. Will they prevail during this all out war or will they die in the very streets that they once loved so much?

Book excerpt: Money, power, respect and the battle for one woman's love pitted two notorious drug dealers against each other in a bloody battle that left behind many casualties. Young NARD has finally brought down CJ, Newark, New Jersey's most powerful and most dynamic crack King. But the baby-faced drug kingpin has made one monumental mistake--he left RAHEEM dying, but with an ounce of life still in him. If Rah survives, there's going to be a war in the streets unlike anything the decrepit city has ever witnessed, as he seeks to avenge the death of a friend whom he loved like a brother. Both men are thinkers, and they both have murderous goons at their disposal. But only one side can be victorious. Which side will it be? Will Nard's ego remain in check as his stature explodes to astronomical heights in the hood? If Raheem lives, will he prove that his gangsta is as cold as his mind is sharp? Nothing is for certain but death. But who's death will it be? This time when THUGS CRY, they'll cry more than tears--they'll cry blood. Lots of it

Now that she’s finally made a decision about the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with, a bomb shell has been dropped. Naomi has been deceived by a man she thought she knew and betrayed by a woman that has been like a sister to her. What do you do when you realize that the two people you thought you knew so well, are completely different all together? Although Naomi has discovered Tyree and Erin’s ""extracurricular activities"" and finally revealed her relationship with Marquise to everyone, Tyree refuses to let go.

But with the disapproval from important people in her life about their relationship, Naomi is unsure about whether staying with Marquise is really the right thing to do. In the Finale to Addicted To My Thug, follow Naomi as she tries to stay true to herself and do what’s best for her family. Is Mr. Marquise Lewis really the thug for her? Maybe some happy endings just aren’t really meant to be...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love was never on the agenda for Azia Price. She was too focused on building her career, putting it way above love and even herself. Landing an unexpected job at a top marketing firm was a dream come true. And now that a major opportunity for her to become partner pops up, the ambitious beauty is determined to land the new job role. Until everything starts spiraling uncontrollably once her boss’s son, a man too good looking to be true, crashes into her world, threatening everything she has worked so hard to build...by snatching her new dream job. Kalmon Howard is a man who is no stranger to success. Ruling the streets and making endless amounts of cash are just two of the many accomplishments of this sexy, yet ruthless businessman. Never being one to shy away from the sword, Kalmon does anything to protect his family and empire. And those that try to cross him, always wish they hadn’t. After his last headache dealing with his ex, love is the last thing on Kalmon’s mind. He’s more concerned with diving into new business ventures and he sets his sights on the one company he helped build from the ground up. He never had an issue earning respect from anyone...until Azia Price stepped into his life. Like a bee to honey, Azia is drawn to Kalmon and despite her mind convincing her to stay away from this bold stranger, their hold on each other is too powerful. But while the pair become more acquainted, hidden truths start crawling out from every direction. Neither Kalmon nor Azia could have imagined how connected they would become or realize how connected their lives truly are. But they’re surely about to find out and life will never be the same again. Passion and desire fill the pages of this love tale but most of all, deceit. Kalmon secures Azia’s heart but will he also be the person who ultimately breaks it?

His job is to ensure that he and his brothers maintain their status in the streets, along with caring for his two baby mamas and the kids he shares with them. After failing twice at love, Khi's not ready to give up on finding his queen just yet, and after running into Cuba Lance, he's certain he has finally gotten it right. When Cuba mends his heart only to shatter it all over again, will Khi give up on love once and for all, or will he fight to keep the woman who has everything he's been looking for?

With Amber, the love of his life, and his 5-year-old son by his side, Daelan could have a happily-ever-after ending--except that he can't seem to stop messing up. Usually his loved ones are there to pick up the shattered pieces, but what happens when Daelan makes a decision that put the lives of everyone around him in danger?

When her ex shows up in her husband's office, Deonna finds herself in love with two men at the same time. She's forced to choose, but when that decision lands someone in a grave, are the Prince brothers ready for a war?

Just my luck, as I hid from him to gather my thoughts and deal with the pain, yet another crushing blow to my happiness was revealed. I then realized that I could no longer live for King; it was time to live for Kennedy. Little did I know, Jada was suffering the same heartbreak that I was. Dolla had torn her heart into two. My girl was miserable, but she didn't run as I did; she was trying her best to inflict the same pain on Dolla as he had on her. Meanwhile, King, Meech and Dolla were constructing a plan to permanently get rid of the squad's enemies. But will it work? Will the squad make it through this storm of deception and lies to continue ruling the streets of Chi? Some secrets should never be kept and some secrets should never be told because, either way, we were all about to suffer the consequences of secrets both revealed and untold.

Book excerpt: From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds, a “funny and rewarding” (Publishers Weekly) coming-of-age novel about friendship and loyalty across neighborhood lines and the hardship of life for an urban teen. A lot of the stuff that gives my neighborhood a bad name, I don’t really mess with. The guns and drugs and all that, not really my thing. Nah, not his thing. Ali’s got enough going on, between school and boxing and helping out at home. His best friend Noodles, though. Now there’s a dude looking for trouble—and, somehow, it’s always Ali around to pick up the pieces. But, hey, a guy’s gotta look out for his boys, right? Besides, it’s all small potatoes; it’s not like anyone’s getting hurt. And then there’s Needles. Needles is Noodles’s brother. He’s got a syndrome, and gets these ticks and blurts out the wildest, craziest things. It’s cool, though: everyone on their street knows he doesn’t mean anything by it. Yeah, it’s cool…until Ali and Noodles and Needles find themselves somewhere they never expected to be…somewhere they never should've been—where the people aren’t so friendly, and even less forgiving.
