Book excerpt: A crime would bring them together, grief would bind them and love would make them famous. Parish “Pain” Wells is a man freshly reintroduced to society, after serving time in state prison. Prior to his fall, Pain had been a heist man who showed the promise of someone who could go on to be a legend. His trajectory changed on the night he had made the mistake of accepting a ride from a friend, and found himself behind bars for the one crime he hadn’t committed. Several years later, Pain returns home to a world that wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire. The only one who still remains in his corner is his ailing grandmother. It’s for her sake that Pain tries to stay on the straight and narrow. He’s tired of breaking her heart and vows to be a good grandson, but when her medical bills start mounting he finds himself backed into a corner. He needs money, fast, and there’s only one way he knows how to get it. Since her parents died and Passion Adams found herself a ward of her estranged uncle, a gangster who everyone calls Uncle Joe, her life has been on a constant downward spiral. She moves like a ghost from one day to the next, numbing her pain with drugs and alcohol, while seeking thrills in unsavory places. One morning Passion finds herself the victim of a robbery and the thieves snatch from her the only thing of value that she has left in the world, a locket containing the ashes of her deceased parents. Passion is devastated, fearing she would never see the locket again until it shows up later in the hands of a handsome stranger, who brings something into Passion’s life that has eluded her since the death of her parents... hope. The two broken souls find themselves inescapably drawn into each other’s orbits, and begin their journey of finding lives outside the ones of poverty and sorrow that their worlds had condemned them to. But when shadows from both their pasts threaten their happiness, Passion and Pain set out on an adventure that would make them hunted by law enforcement and celebrated by the underworld. What initially starts out as a mission of vindication quickly turns into a fight for survival.

Book excerpt: In these four vignettes you’ll encounter several characters whose lives are connected by a common thread that will place them on a collision course of epic proportions. “Little Girl Lost” It’s been several weeks since the abuse Dena suffered at the hands of her former lover Black Ice. The older man had promised her heaven, but instead had delivered her into hell. Since escaping the nightmare, she’s been trying to put the pieces of her life back together, but it’s been hard with the police breathing down her back with questions about a murder. “Don’t Feed The Animals” The Outlaw known as Tech-9 was raised by the jungle creed: the strong must feed on any prey at hand. His latest potential meal is an underworld bank lousy with dirty money, ripe for the plucking. This is a big job and it won’t be an easy one, so he recruits his young protegee Animal to ride out with him. The job is supposed to be simple; get in, snatch the money and get out but things get complicated and the two young stick-up kids find themselves in a fight for their lives. “Good Cop/Bad Cop” On the streets of New York, Detectives Brown and Alvarez are known as the Minority Report. They’re just as notorious for their dirty tactics when it comes to catching bad guys, as they are for their high conviction rates. Their latest case involves a new player in the game who has set up shop in Harlem. He’s just another dealer and will fall just like the rest, or so they think. What they discover is that this new player is nothing like the others. “O.T.” Duhan is an up and coming young hustler, born and raised on the streets of Harlem. He’s known for his since of honor as well as his violent temper. When Duhan’s connect gets locked up and he’s cut off from the drug supply, it threatens to undo all the progress Duhan has made in during his rise to power. This is when he’s offered a deal from an out of town source that’s too sweet to pass up. This is Duhan’s opportunity to finally seize the reins of power, but in his quest to be king he’ll be taught a hard lesson: nothing given in the game is without costs. There goes the neighborhood…again.
