she ever looks me in my eyes, her soul belongs to me—and that’s my weakest asset.”

From Jatoria C., the author of The Devil Wears Baccarat series, comes a dark urban romance that blurs the line between love and obsession.

In Aboydo Cape, the name Brasi is more than a legacy—it’s a warning.
Navy Brasi, a detective who operates outside the law, commands both respect and fear. With mafia blood running deep in his veins and underworld connections that could silence anyone, Navy’s power is as absolute as it is dangerous.
Love was never part of his plan. But Marli Thompson changes that.

She’s defiant, untouchable, and strong enough to hate the Brasi family with everything in her.
She’d rather burn them to the ground than fall into their trap.
But Navy doesn’t take no for an answer. His obsession with Marli goes beyond desire—it’s a compulsion, a dangerous pull he can’t ignore.
And he’ll do anything—manipulate, corner, control—to keep her close.

Marli knows what the Brasi family is capable of.
She’s spent her life building walls against them, protecting herself from the very kind of power Navy wields.
But love doesn’t bow to reason.
As Navy closes in, Marli finds herself caught in a dangerous game of power, secrets, and psychological warfare.
His every move chips away at her defenses, his every glance sends her spiraling.
And when dark truths—like her brother’s blood on Brasi hands—surface, their fragile bond fractures under the weight of betrayal.

In The Brasi Family, love is a savage trap, where devotion and destruction walk hand in hand.
This is a story for readers who crave gritty romance, possessive alpha males, and heroines who fight for their freedom—even when the odds are against them.
If you’re ready for a love story that bites back, welcome to the family.","spice","series_order","average_rating","3.0","reviews_count","editions_count","bookmarked","muted","contributors",[],[404],"The Brasi Family","edition_id","12aa5bf1-da12-4572-a5d4-fbeea211b126","series",{"_21":369,"_355":402,"_403":42},"year",2025,"first_published","Mar 2025","likes_count","collections_count","slug","1571-the-brasi-family","format",{"_355":70,"_33":80,"_399":400,"_401":66},"page_count",200,"duration","published_date","March 31, 2025","isbn","asin","B0F2Y5KVCM","hex_code","#262119","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/1559i/12aa5bf1-da12-4572-a5d4-fbeea211b126.jpg","user_review","type","print","audio","1abcb808-db93-4877-a4ac-fd31a450f264","order",{"_355":405,"_33":305,"_380":406,"_407":-5,"_408":-5,"_409":410,"_411":412},"26340c38-12e1-40a6-9081-d81fe93dc300","141-jatoria-c","biography","image","books_count",22,"roles",[413],"author","9ed44124-fd99-4866-8b0d-876441cf74a7","By day, Andre “Dre” Boudreaux is the poised and ruthless second-in-command of Boudreaux Enterprises, negotiating multi-million dollar construction deals with a cold, calculated charm. But by night, Dre becomes something else entirely—a shadow in the dark, a silent executioner tasked with eliminating threats to the family empire before they ever come to light.

His latest assignment takes him deep into Milly Grove, a neighborhood buzzing with tension, secrets, and silent wars. What he doesn't expect is her—the prettiest problem he's ever seen. Sharp-tongued, street-smart, and fearless, she complicates everything he’s been trained to keep clean and controlled.

Now Dre’s balance is tipping. When the enemies close in from all sides, Dre must stay the course, or let his latest distraction become his deadliest mistake.","4.0",[],[431],"Dreaux: The Corporate Assassin","ed454ef6-7ff1-4216-8f40-b707bee2661f",{"_21":429,"_355":430,"_403":70},"May 2025","1710-dreaux",{"_355":70,"_33":80,"_399":400,"_401":66},339,"May 10, 2025","B0F88V4TZW","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/1698i/ed454ef6-7ff1-4216-8f40-b707bee2661f.jpg","Boudreaux Mafia Series","abd2efad-08ec-4345-8493-496c25ca4959",{"_355":432,"_33":290,"_380":433,"_407":-5,"_408":-5,"_409":434,"_411":435},"5795a729-12fa-43e3-acbc-1dfe622c619d","149-nek-mills",34,[413],"41a30db9-083f-4630-a368-0b2ba31c520c","Out of all the things that could cause his life to turn upside down, Adir Bell never thought falling in love would be the catalyst. Known as Dr. Bell to the streets, his days are filled with caring for those whose lives are far less than legal. Along with being a physician, he's a single father raising four young men. Humble, Peace, Bragg, and Kalm are his sons. Although the streets are in chaos, Adir's sons are the only ones keeping him under control. Despite pleas from those who need the old Adir, he is committed to leading his family without reverting back to the part of him he retired once he became a father.

Coco Turner loves her brother, Quilo, dearly. In fact, she's willing to do anything for him. This includes dropping everything and uprooting their lives for what she hopes is the better. She never imagined the love she had for her brother would push her to do the craziest thing she's ever done in her life. Marrying a complete stranger for the sake of safety seemed irrational and flat-out foolish. However, Coco acts first and asks questions later. All to protect her brother.

Adir lays eyes on Coco and immediately deems her, Pretty. Not only is the street doctor changing last names, but he is also changing situations. He is after Coco's heart and is determined to prove to her that, in his hands, she and Quilo are secure.

All change isn't welcomed, though. Outside forces are willing to do anything to bring Adir to his knees. The only issue is, Dr. Bell has never bowed to anyone. Well...

He was raised in the shadows of a man who believed kindness was weakness, which later made him feel like love was nothing more than a leash meant to be snapped. He was raised by force and taught only to survive. By the time he became an adult, he taught himself how to dominate those around him. Until he met Angel. A woman he was set out to ruin and break since she was a threat to the Decebal name.

Born in ruin, rejected the moment he took his first breath, Monster doesn’t feel. He devours and destroys anything that serves as a threat to the control that he had to fight for. He never had a childhood, only lessons. He learned that pain was currency and fear was law. To Monster, the world belonged to those who were ruthless enough to take it. Monster took any and everything as a man. Until Natavi walked back into his world without knowing she just became his next lesson.

Sloane Reid isn’t the type to let her guard down. A sharp-minded therapist with a carefully built life, she’s always been in control—until a one-night stand with a stranger shakes her foundation.

From teen star to international phenom to the biggest celebrity in the world, Aurelia George has suddenly found herself on the other side of adoration. The public thinks they hate her when they never really knew her. The saddest tragedy of all is that she doesn’t know herself.

Done with the fame, glitz, and glam—the whole doe-eyed princess charade—Aurelia decides she’s taking back her life, even if it costs her everything.

But her uncle has other plans.

Shipped far away until the heat dies, Aurelia finds herself in the one place where her name means nothing. When a blizzard causes her plane to crash, she becomes stranded in the wilds of Northern Canada, a sole survivor with no one to turn to.

No one except them.

It’s their cabin Aurelia finds in the icy wilderness and their obsession she ignites when they discover her sleeping in one of their beds. Thorin, Khalil, and Ezekiel (and all of his personalities) have only longed for one thing in nine long years...a woman to warm their beds.

Surviving a plane crash, wolves, avalanches, frozen lakes, and a harsh winter with three feral men is nothing compared to Aurelia’s hardest trial of all—finding herself.

The first thing you’ll learn in New Found Haven is that mercy doesn’t exist. The second thing is that, from the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slums of the Boundary, the Veyra are always watching.

The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it: Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.

Hyacinth never asked for this power, never wanted to bear the weight of a war that could consume them all. But fate is merciless, and with each passing day, the blood in her veins binds her tighter to a destiny she cannot escape. As armies gather and ancient powers stir, she is forced to make an impossible choice—cling to the love and the life she’s always wanted or become the weapon the realms need.

Grief, rage, and the ghosts of her past claw at her throat, pushing her toward choices that cannot be undone. She tells herself she is still fighting for something—someone—but with every drop of blood she spills, she wonders if she is becoming exactly what she once feared.

Betrayal runs deep. Allies are not what they seem. As kingdoms fall and secrets find the light, Hyacinth and Ataliia must decide how far they are willing to go to protect the ones they love. But in a war where there is no room for mercy, where death is inevitable and sacrifice is the price of survival, one question remains:

I wanted a beautiful backyard for my new home and my neighbors suggested I look into Ward Landscaping & Design.
The owner had no pictures of himself on his website, just a portfolio of nice outdoor sitting areas, pools, and vibrant gardens that I’d always dreamed of having.
Of course I hired him.
I expected to meet an average guy, but Mr. Marcel Ward is far from your average man. He’s handsome, and well-built, and his smile—though a rare trait—is truly infectious.
He’s every woman’s dream—a handsome, older man who doesn’t mind getting down and dirty to create something beautiful all because of his passion for it. Unfortunately, that lucky woman can’t be me.
Although Mr. Ward tests my limits, quickens my breath, and makes my heart skip a beat when he’s around, I’ve promised to devote myself to my husband.

Very bad.

He’s irresistible. He’s confident. He’s amazing… but he’s dangerous.
He was there the night my brother was murdered. He watched it all go down.
I should stay away. The things I saw weren’t acceptable.
I should want Ace as far away from me as possible—I should consider him a monster and a threat—but when my life is at stake I know I no longer have a choice of the matter. He's the only one that can protect me.
He's done what he can to keep me out of danger, but it's not enough. I need answers. I need the truth. He refuses to give it to me, and because of that I don't trust him. He refuses to tell me what really happened and to just forget about it but I refuse.
I won’t back down until I get answers.
But there’s one thing wrong with getting too many answers. It leads to lies. It leads to trouble. It leads to danger. But worst of all, it leads to me falling deeply and madly in love with him.
I’ve gotta be out of my mind.

London Stallone hasn’t always had the perfect life, but she did have the perfect older brother. He did everything for her. He took care of her when no one else would. He’s always been the shoulder she could lean on, but when he ends up murdered, things turn for the worst.
London soon demands answers, and the first person she runs to is her brother’s co-worker and good friend, Donovan “Ace” Crow. Ace isn’t the ordinary guy. He doesn’t come equipped with flowers and chocolate. He doesn’t hand out smiles and hugs to every female he meets. He’s strict and only about business, and London believes he’s a part of the reason her brother was murdered.
Soon, after finding out life-threatening news, it leads to something Ace never thought he’d have to do for anyone.
Protect her.
Although he doesn't want her to get hurt, it doesn't stop him from being selfish or bitter. He's promised to protect her, but has he done enough ? Has he sacrificed everything in order to keep London out of harms way?
Sometimes love can get in the way of your priorities. And sometimes love can easily become your enemy—your worst nightmare. It can destroy you.

This is a story full of dishonesty. Disloyalty. Broken hearts. Pain. Suffering. Lies. Destruction. This isn’t a fairytale love story. This is real. And it just might break you.
You’ve been warned…

BEWARE.

She was never supposed to be my problem. Storm Crowne is reckless, younger than me, and way too tempting for her own good. Plus, she thrives off of drama, talks entirely too much, and always makes questionable choices that piss me off.

An enemy wants her dead and now she needs a bodyguard. Since my twin brother married her sister, her family decided it was my job to protect her. I’m the brother who keeps the peace and the one who carries the weight so no one else has to. I don’t cross lines. I don’t lose control.

But Storm?

She’s a hurricane of chaos that I can’t outrun. She pushes and I pull. She defies and I demand. She protests and I insist. She doesn’t get that this isn’t a game. I’m here to keep her alive.
