Grace Parker is twenty, still figuring out who she wants to become when a parking-lot shootout drops Luther King directly into her life.
At thirty-nine, Luther has already built an empire, buried old enemies, survived betrayals, and learned exactly what it costs to care about somebody. The night he throws his body over Grace to shield her from gunfire, something shifts inside him. Protecting her quickly becomes an obsession.
Grace knows Luther comes with danger. She sees it in the armed men who answer his calls, the secrets connecting him to her family, and the way her uncle nearly loses his mind when he learns they are together. Yet Luther makes her feel safer than anyone ever has. He remembers what she needs before she asks. He shows up when she calls. He loves her with an intensity that slowly becomes impossible to live without.
Soon, Grace is sleeping in his bed more than her own, arranging her life around his presence and crying through the moments when his jealousy, control, and coldness leave wounds no bullet could.
Luther is becoming dependent too.
Grace is his weakness. The one person capable of making him abandon meetings, change plans, lose his temper, and put his own life on the line without hesitation.
Then an old enemy returns, a family betrayal comes to light, and the truth about Grace’s father drags them into a war that started long before she ever met Luther. With bullets tearing through family gatherings and everyone she loves becoming a possible target, Grace must decide how much of herself she can keep surrendering to the man she cannot seem to leave.
Because loving Luther feels dangerously close to addiction.
Walking away feels worse.
Your Side of the Bed is an emotionally intense Black dark romance featuring a nineteen-year age gap, an obsessive and fiercely protective hero, complicated family secrets, possessive love, shootouts, betrayal, co-dependency, steamy closed-door intimacy, raw emotional conflict, and a bittersweet road toward happily ever after.
