      Meagan has a history filled with lies, murder, and constant disrespect, now a murderous letter signed Disrespectfully Yours could crumble her world to pieces… Do you remember your first love? Meagan will never forget hers because William played an important role in her life, one that should have prevented them from coming together. There were so many reasons for them not to be together, like their twenty-one-year age difference. But tragedy took the lives of those who stood in their way, and Meagan was happy it did—at first. The people who taught her the deadly game opened Pandora’s box. They were the ones who sent her into William’s arms, but his constant cheating and physical abuse sent her into the arms of many others. Now that she’s unhappily married, Meagan searches for love through a cougar’s eyes, and she thinks she may have found it in Devin, a man young enough to be her own child. But her husband’s sneaky moves get in the way. It takes her limousine driver, Angelo, to open her eyes to the immediate danger she is in. He accidentally stumbles across a past that neither of them knew about or is ready to acknowledge, and it seems all parties may have a deadly connection.

    • All hail to the West Coast, where its natural resources of breathtaking beaches, smokable trees, and beautiful women are unlimited. From the freezing top of Mt. Denali in Alaska to the fly-ass architectural marvel of California’s Golden Gate Bridge, the region is one of the most desirable places to visit on Earth. But for a problematic girl like Temper Chey, it’s a prison, and she’s dying to be freed. Perhaps Temper’s longing to escape is a result of being raised on a road less traveled in an area of South Central Los Angeles, where tourism is obsolete and gang banging and dope slanging reign supreme. Or maybe it’s because of the widespread enigma that “the only way out the hood is over a thirty-foot wall.” If this hood proverb is true, then being born half black and half Asian should’ve given her a ten-foot ladder as a head start. Will her brief escapade with one of the most infamous Crip kingpins force her to twist, toss, and burn her exit plans? Will she give up on the promise she made to her uncle to “bust her ass” to get those missing twenty feet? Or will the chaos be the defibrillator that revives her and provides an escalator ride to freedom?

    • Type "Kingpins of Memphis" in any search engine and you'll find images of Craig Petties and his alleged crew, but Ethan Wade Carruthers hopes to remain hidden. Despite never meeting the diamond-covered man, Ethan knows the information is misleading; his own face and crew should be there. He doesn't expect to find anything under his name, aside from an old missing person's report about a 16-year-old boy from Chicago. With no life or past to speak of, Ethan was rejected from the dangerous gang life due to his intellect before he could even decide if he wanted in. With both parents consumed by their addiction to freebasing cocaine, he chose to leave. Years of struggle fostered a survival mindset, leading him to create a deadly kingpin named Joe, who he unleashed onto the streets of Memphis. While everyone focuses on what they can see, Joe operates like a ghost, his actions tracing back to an urban legend. As his notoriety grows, Ethan faces the question of whether his rebirth will lead to a jail cell or a casket, like many before him. Or will Joe devise an exit plan so clever that he can vanish as quietly as he arrived? Trust, he's not your "average Joe."

      Carl Weber's Kingpins: Memphis
    • In the third installment of the Kismet series about obsessive love gone very wrong, Savannah and Dre's relationship turns a corner when secrets are exposed... Savannah was everything Dre wanted in a woman: beautiful, educated, independent, and classy. On top of that, she was the best lover Dre had ever had. It had to be kismet that brought these two together, because karma would have never allowed it. Savannah had made too many negative deposits into karma's bank without any withdrawals to end up with a good man like Dre. Perhaps, karma and kismet were in cahoots. There was a lot about Savannah that Dre didn't know initially, like her non-nurturing, revenge-seeking, conniving, and unfaithful ways. Nor did Dre know that he had fallen in love with karma's new prey on the eve of her receiving a taste of everything she had dished out. However, there was also a lot about Dre that Savannah didn't know, nor did she take the time to find out. Two facets, in particular, were his low tolerance for infidelity and zero tolerance for lies! After pushing Dre over the edge multiple times with both, what will she do when he volunteers to jump off?
