"Milly Grove, home of Kenneth 'Uno' Mills, has been exclusively run by his family for over a century.
Commissioner by day and gangsta by night, he's the man in his city. Although he may hold a position in office, don't be fooled by the expensive tailored suits. Disrespecting him will cost you your life.
When the current mayor is exposed for misconduct, Uno steps in to make sure the position continues to be held by the Mills bloodline. His decision to run for Mayor leaves the family at odds. Once he receives the keys to the city, blood ties will be severed, lives will be lost, and new bonds will be forged on his journey to restoring the community.
Running a city is not for the weak, but there's no better man fit for the job. In Milly Grove, nothing moves unless Uno says so."
"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 decide: stay the course, or let his latest distraction become his deadliest mistake."
"Jules 'Boko' Boudreaux is the younger brother of the newest leader of the Boudreaux family.
After locating the missing best friend of his sister-in-law, Bridgette, the two quickly form a bond and become a staple in each other's lives, and he vows to find everyone who hurt her and ensure their undoing.
A corporate and criminal lawyer by profession, he faces corruption daily. Even as the most skilled in his trade, he could not have been prepared for the darkness beneath the surface. Still, he will stop at nothing until he gets the answers that they both desperately desire. The harrowing things he finds out while helping Bridgette heal will only seal the fate of her transgressors.
Normally mild-mannered and light-hearted, when Jules becomes 'Boko,' there isn't a soul safe enough to cross him. While the most feared look their victims in the eyes, Boko can ensure you a painful demise from miles away.
The only thing scarier than what you can't see is what you don't know... they have awakened The Silent Killer."
"After the untimely death of his father, Rosier 'Zoo' Boudreaux rightfully inherits Boudreaux Enterprises.
Although he anticipated being in charge his entire life, he could have never prepared for the dark secrets, dirty money, and unethical practices that lived after his father's demise. Though thrown for a loop, he wastes no time claiming his seat at the head of the table and demanding the respect of his constituents. After all, Zoo was trained for it.
In an attempt to right his father's transgressions, he amasses a number of enemies who feel he's disrupted the flow of business. And if a war between families isn't enough, at the center of this conflict lies a beautiful, timid yet elegant layer that threatens to change the course of everyone's lives.
Zoo quickly shows the nonbelievers why his father appointed him as the heir to the business. Trust that no one wants to cross the ruthless one."
