He kept the truth about his profession and family from her and believed the abrupt ending of what could have been his happily ever after is his punishment. Six years pass, and Karrington has to fulfill his family duty by marrying a woman he’s never met before. Convinced no woman can top Luna Ray, Karrington agrees to the arranged marriage. What he doesn’t agree to is falling in love with a woman whose music therapy haunts him just as much as it helps him heal.

Eyela Mitchell was born to carry out the legacy of the Mitchell Mafia. Even though she knows her marriage will be arranged, she risks her duty by secretly dating Donovan “Cocaine” Conner. When he betrays her in the most tragic way, Eyela’s heart is broken on the day of her wedding. Feeling led to tell her new husband the truth, she shares what Cocaine did, and Karrington vows revenge against the man who violated what belongs to him and him alone.

What starts as devotion to family quickly blossoms into attraction, attachment, and adoration. As an unknown enemy lurks within the shadows, their lives and new love hangs in the balance and aren’t as secure as Karrington would like for them to be. Will he finally receive his happily ever after, or will things end with Eyela just as they did with Luna Ray?",{"_28":108,"_27":109,"_110":111,"_112":78},170,"January 2, 2025","January 2","B0CW1PWDZF","#181828",[],"https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/3884i/6ad4dd1e-f029-4be7-8278-05ab5d03b017.jpg","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F3884i%2F6ad4dd1e-f029-4be7-8278-05ab5d03b017.jpg",{"_28":42,"_27":43,"_44":45,"_115":-5,"_116":-5,"_31":117,"_118":142,"_46":47},[120],"22ee3931-7566-4b18-a5b0-2c03671b0084",3874,5,"4.15",13,[],[167],"Aspen","bd4411bc-4760-4d72-96a4-00cb60fd3644",{"_15":30,"_28":29,"_113":145},2024,"Sep 2024","2024-09-02","3892-aspen","Synopsis coming soon!",{"_28":108,"_27":109,"_110":111,"_112":78},162,"September 2, 2024","September 2","B0D92YH3TJ","#381808",[],"https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/3874i/bd4411bc-4760-4d72-96a4-00cb60fd3644.jpg","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F3874i%2Fbd4411bc-4760-4d72-96a4-00cb60fd3644.jpg",{"_28":42,"_27":43,"_44":45,"_115":-5,"_116":-5,"_31":117,"_118":168,"_46":47},[120],"f13783e8-2790-4a6c-a6fd-0685db74168c",3864,4,"4.54",[],[191],"The Strongest Whiskee","b188e722-8b53-43fa-9708-f980317036b5",{"_15":30,"_28":29,"_113":171},"Jun 2024","2024-06-01","3882-the-strongest-whiskee","Whiskee carries the weight of witnessing her mother's tragic murder.

Known for his allegiance to the criminal underworld as a protector, the gangster only shows love to his family… and his son and the woman who birthed him are at the top of that list. When Merc decides to take one last job before retiring, he doesn’t think it will include protecting a woman he’s been trying to avoid but can’t seem to get rid of. A woman who softens him and brings out the lover he’s kept hidden over the years.

For a woman like Neo, it only takes one lesson for her to learn. A bad experience with a man who has a child closes her heart off to dating men with children. It seems fate has other plans… plans that bring her and Merc together three times before they begin to question if they are meant to be.

With a dangerous dealer on the loose, Neo is forced to seek asylum outside of her home and under Merc’s protection.
