Tya Marie - 2016
While Janelle is away living in the lap of luxury, Myria finds herself becoming a byproduct of the streets, ending up in serving a five-year prison sentence for robbery. Deciding that it’s time to turn over a new leaf, Myria reaches out to Janelle, who offers her a warm bed until she manages to get on her feet. While Myria heads to Miami excited to rekindle her relationship with her sister, Janelle has other plans in mind. Tired of being the long suffering and abused wife of the King of Miami, Janelle spends her days poolside plotting Dom’s downfall. With one elaborate plan after another fails, Janelle decides to go back to the basics and figures that she could pull her own version of a “bait and switch.” The bait? Myria. The switch? The life of luxury she once loved. Not one to be worried by guilt, Janelle places a sleeping Myria in her bed and leaves her waking up in a living nightmare. With her identity stolen from her, Myria is forced to navigate the inner circle of Miami’s elite as Janelle. With Janelle’s Ice Queen façade in place, Myria makes friends, enemies, and ultimately finds herself falling in love with an unlikely ally-Julio, Dom’s brother. Just when she thinks she has a handle on the situation, Myria discovers a secret regarding Janelle's marriage that makes her think different about who the real abuser is. Will Myria be able to beat Janelle at her own game or will she end up suffocating in Janelle’s bed of lies?

In Love With The King Of Chicago (In Love With The King Of Chicago Book 1)
A.J. Dix - 2017
This was definitely the case for twenty-six-year-old Karter Martin and twenty-nine-year old Dezmund “Dez” Wright. Dez had been a money-making machine since he was nine years old, and he took over being the ‘man of the house’. The streets sucked him in, but they didn’t destroy him, like they did many before him. With his brother, Dame, by his side, they were able to take over Chicago. But, after almost twenty years, they stepped down from the throne and opened a nightclub in the heart of the city. Dez’s mind was always on his paper, and he didn’t think twice about love, but when he laid eyes on Karter, there was something unexplainable that drew him to her, and he didn’t want to let it go. This could be the perfect love story for Dez and Karter, but we all know those don’t exist. At a young age, Karter knew all about heartache. At five years old, her parents dropped her off with her grandmother and never looked back. That year, Big Mama put Karter in dance class, and she hasn’t stopped dancing since. For the longest, it had been just Karter and Big Mama, until Big Mama passed, and it turned Karter’s life upside down. When Karter meets Dez a year later, it gives her a reason to smile again. Even when they were hit with situations meant to tear them apart, they pushed through and proved to everyone who doubted their relationship, that they were in it for the long run. Loving a man like Dez, you need to have tough skin, and Karter learns that the hard way. Melodee’s razor-sharp tongue and ‘don’t give a fuck’ attitude is enough to run any man away. After getting her heart broken, she shuts herself down from any type of relationship. But, Damien “Dame” Wright was the guy who set out to change her mind on that. Melodee’s focus was on chasing a bag, but it was hard to do with a man like Dame in the way. At twenty-eight years old, Dame was ready to settle down and be that one-woman man. After years of running through random females, he meets Melodee and changes his entire way of thinking. Trying to break down the wall that Melodee had up became too much for him, and he was ready to give up. A traumatic event brings these two together, and hopefully it’ll make them realize that they needed to give their relationship a fighting chance. But, can they keep it together long enough to explore being a real couple? These brothers went from running an entire city effortlessly, to struggling to get their own lives under control. The women in their lives didn’t have it any easier as they dealt with the consequences of being In Love With the King of Chicago. Can they make it work, or will these two relationships be another failed attempt at love?
