It seems that Baby Taylor has it all: love, happiness, and a blossoming new career. But when her soon-to-be husband is arrested with federal charges on her wedding day, her life takes a turn in the unexpected.

With nowhere to go, she finds herself at the mercy of her best friend, Mona, and her husband, Memphis. But with the past that Memphis and Baby share, things begin to get even more complicated, and taboo emotions that Baby buried long ago threaten to come to the light.

When she finds herself weak to resist love’s call, will she be strong enough to do what is right, or will she fall victim to the urgings of her heart?

Now that Baby has crossed the line with Memphis, her entire world has changed.

After her so-called best friend abandons everyone for her own grandiose dreams, Baby is left putting out the fires that Mona created. Pushing her own
desires to the side, Baby decides to be there for her goddaughter while controlling her feelings for Memphis, but it’s hard to keep her emotions in line with what she
knows is right. A man like Memphis is hard to resist, and the more she learns about Mona’s dark side, Baby sees that she really wasn’t ever a friend. The laws of
friendship and loyalty hang in the balance. Is being disloyal acceptable when it comes to someone who was never loyal to you? Or is it true that two wrongs don’t make a right?

It’s time for this complicated love story to come to an end. With strong themes that question the laws of friendship, loyalty, and redemption, mixed in with an explosive ending, get ready to take a dive into a world full of blurred lines.

Some stories have villains.
Some stories have heroes.
But in this love story–the one I lived–Gucci is both.
Expensive car.
Designer shoes.
Neck decorated with heavy gold chains.
And rocking Gucci from head-to-toe.

He came into my life like the storm I’d never expected, forcing his way into my life with all the cocky arrogance that a man who built his way up from the bottom could possibly have. Like a god in human form, he seduced me with ease, and
though I tried to play hard to get, he knew from the beginning that he would be getting me.

There are a million and one reasons why I shouldn’t love him. A million and one reasons why I shouldn’t want him. And tons more for why I should’ve ran in the other direction the instance I saw him walking my way. Gucci is intoxicatingly
toxic, a devil in designer shoes. He’s the last man on Earth that I should ever want.

But I want him anyways.

Bleu knew that her life would never be the same from the moment she met Gucci, but she had no idea just how much things would change.

Meeting Gucci seemed like a dream come true but when real life, real feelings and real drama begins to become a real problem between them, Bleu realizes that in trying to escape one situation, she’s only made a bigger problem for herself.
Determined not to be anybody’s victim anymore, Bleu decides that it’s time for her to live on her own and push Gucci out of her life. However, what she doesn’t know is that Gucci has no intentions of ever leaving.

When Bleu decides to do what no woman has ever done before and remove Gucci from her life, his ego takes an unexpected hit that he doesn’t quite know how to deal with. As a man who has rarely heard “no” from any woman, it becomes a
major problem for him when he’s rejected by the one woman he doesn’t want to admit that he can’t live without. With Bleu moving on, intent on living her life without him in it, he knows that he has to make some tough first-time decisions if he doesn’t want to lose her.

But, after fully accepting himself as a certified gangsta without the ability to love, is it possible for him to be the man she needs for him to be?

In order to get back the money Danny owes and to take care of her three children, Maliah starts dancing at a strip club which is where she meets Murk, Legend’s brother. When she starts to fall for one of the D Boys while still officially in a relationship with Danny who works for the opposing gang, it puts her in the middle of a street war that she is not sure she wants to take part in.

Balance.

Balance was my everything.

Growing up as a classically trained ballerina with dreams of being a professional dancer, balance was my life. Everything about me depended on it; my diet, my temper, my sleep and waking schedule. I even dedicated myself to rigorous yoga and martial arts training to learn how to maintain focus by balancing my breath.

Balance was literally my everything.

Living like this came with several rules and I was the kind of person who didn’t mind following them. Rules were made to protect me; they kept me safe. And I never had issues following them but, to be totally honest, I never once had a reason not to.

At least, not until I met him.

My name is January Luckeisha Murray, daughter of the honorable Janelle Murray and Luke “Outlaw” Murray, the infamous leader of the Black Bag Mafia, an underground crime society. Most know me as the apple of his eye, a cherished mafia princess who always followed her father’s rules about staying out of the
public’s eye. But now daddy’s little girl is all grown up and I’m ready to share my story.

This is a story about the time when I decided to break all the rules … The time I fell in love.

“Love is a drug I never wanted to take. But now I have and it’s too late. I’m addicted to you.”

Legend is on a mission and it happens to be one he can’t speak about. Always a man of little words, keeping things close to the heart has never been a problem. Or at least it never used to be until January began to occupy that space. Now he’s
fighting a battle between his mind and his heart and, unlike any battle he’s ever fought before, this is a war that no matter how it ends, sacrifice will be required.

While Legend’s battling his own demons, January’s on a mission of her own. In some ways different from his, but almost nearly the same. With trust being a vulnerability that she’s been the most reluctant to embrace, it’s the exact thing
that love requires. But how can she trust the man who broke her heart?

There are no shadows when you’re surrounded by darkness, but when love makes way for the light to shine through, all the things you refused to face appear. Can January and Legend conquer their darkness to enjoy the light of each other? Or
will fear of fully opening up to one another stop them from experiencing love’s true bliss?
