Every now and then in a man’s life, he meets a woman who makes him want to change…

She makes him lower his guard, makes him vulnerable, and makes him believe there’s something more to the life he’s always known.

For Spook? That woman is Erica.
But wanting to change who you are for the person you love is easier said than done.

And the streets are always yearning to teach people that lesson…

Because the streets don’t ever learn to let go, which is a lesson Spook, as well as Danger, are about to learn.

While Spook is fighting to leave the life he’s known and be the man Erica deserves, Danger is fighting to stay out the streets altogether so he can focus on his wife…Lyric.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew is learning there’s nothing simple about love.

Jah, Strict, and Larissa have their hearts tangled up in a situation where loyalty, desire, and timing don’t lineup…and somebody could lose more than love.

KOLD showed us the meaning of Loving Dangerous in his debut urban romance, and now he’s back to show us the vulnerability of a man Spooked By Love.

Are y’all ready?

Because walking away from the streets is one thing…surviving once you do is something entirely different.

What's good My Peoples?! I'm KOLD, an author of Street Lit, Urban Romance, Urban Paranormal, and Erotica. I'm from Clarksville, TN and I have been writing since 2015.

My author journey began while I was incarcerated in Kentucky. We didn't have any books by Black authors available to us at the facility I was in, and after speaking with inmates on the yard, we felt Street Lit books weren't reflecting our real experiences. I told them I could do better, and they challenged me to do it. So, that same day, I went in my cell and began writing, The Bottom. During my final eight years of incarceration, I wrote 33 books before I was granted parole in 2022. I became known as the 'walking library' at multiple prisons due to me always carrying around a large net bag full of my books.

To this day, I still handwrite every book, and I continue to base my stories off experiences either I myself have experienced, or the experiences of others I was around.

Writing is what saved me from getting out of prison and continuing down the same path in the streets that I was used to. I use my pen to articulate my thoughts, writing every story like a movie because that's how they play in my head.

While I am an author...I began a reader.

My favorite authors are a lot but they are: Donald Goines, Kwan, Wahida Clark, Nikki Turner, Kiki Swinson, Ashley & JaQuavis, Treasure Hernandez, Jahquel J, Kutura B, Theresa Reese, Ada Afam, M. Monique, C. Wilson, Bonnie Blanco, and T'Lyn. Non-Black authors I've read and enjoyed are James Patterson, Lee Child, Victor Fleming, and Janet Evanoich.

I am also an award-winning playwright after winning a PEN Award in 2022 for my play \"Can't Win PEN\".

I'm a writer hoping to write a book in every genre someday.

All I need is one chapter, allow your eyes to read one chapter from any book, and you'll be hooked. I appreciate you all in advance.
