"Learning the family business is a tradition that is old as time. And while for most families those businesses are usually legal enterprises, the Kings are knee-deep in the boardroom, politics, and the streets.
Fraternal twins Khalid and Khalia are opposite as night and day. Khalia is the main enforcer for the family, a true gangstress, while Khalid has political aspirations to run for senator and continue to push the family’s drugs to all the high ranking members of the Senate. All that changes when a deadly incident occurs at one of his campaign events. Meanwhile Khalia is content with dropping bodies first and asking questions later, until she crosses paths with someone who makes her second-guess everything.
Keon is the hothead of the family. With four kids and just as many baby mamas, he is never without his share of drama. Still he manages to balance it all until a devastating family secret changes everything for him.
Kenya is the youngest of the siblings. Fresh out of high school, she was the only one who wasn’t destined for the drug game. But when Khalid is forced to take the backseat, it is left to her to keep their political connects satisfied.
Dutchess, the powerful matriarch of the family, craves money and power. Her husband Kelvin would much rather run the lucrative chain of King Funeral Homes and focus on a legitimate empire. Will their differences force them apart?
Meet the King family where no secret is safe and too much money is never enough."

Step 3: Rob him blind and deliver the same fate as he did her father.
Falling for the man she's supposed to hate isn't a part of the plan. When Dawg sees that his sister is hesitating to get the job done, he takes matters into his own hands, not caring whose blood he spills."

"Four women.
Four stories.
One passion.
To make you laugh!
Hey people,
I’m Leslie Velveeta Spinx, the 'L' in LMAO. Come and join me on my journey to the Edge Control Tour. It’s about to be a sold-out show! Before you take your seat, I should warn you, there are a few important things you should know about me.
One: I’m one of the hardest working women you’ll ever meet.
B: I talk a whole, whole, whole lot of sh*t.
And last but most certainly not least, I don’t mind roasting people, dead or alive.
So, please do not take a seat on the front row unless you’re prepared to have your whole life uprooted.
My story is one you might relate to as it involves navigating from the life that I’m comfortable with and stepping into the one where I belong. Seems simple enough, following dreams and all that. But in life, nothing worth having is ever easy to embrace. And as if all of this potential readjustment isn’t enough to stress my edges off, I cross paths with a man who is as fine as anything God ever created, but is off limits because beautiful things usually are.
Enter Michael Thompson III, a brother who talks to dogs and wants to prove to me that he’s not one himself when a few chance encounters with my crazy behind prove to be more than he can ignore.
Grab your tickets and enjoy this comedic exhibition of laughter, love, and all the in-between.
Again, I’m Leslie Velveeta Spinx, the 'L' in LMAO!"
"A prominent romance author has a slump in her love life and book sales, but a chance encounter with a hot firefighter helps her reignite her muse in this swoony holiday romance, perfect for book romantics.
Saira Wright is a prominent Black romance author who has been signed to the most prestigious publisher of African American works, Brownstone Literature. Her career has been successful for the past five years. However, she’s in a slump, and so are her sales and reviews. The romance she has been known for seems to be zapped out of her stories … and her love life.
Eager to get Saira back on top of the charts, her publisher has given her an ultimatum—write a chart-topping holiday romance or be dropped from the publishing house. There’s only one problem: Saira strongly opposes penning holiday books. To her, they are cliché and off-brand, but with her career on the line, she’s forced to give it a shot. To capture the spirit of the holidays, she books a vacation in the most “Christmassy” town she can find.
Sharing the other side of her rented duplex is the owner, Dorian Black, a volunteer firefighter, and the town’s little league football coach. He’s also “Mr. December” in the firefighter’s annual fundraising calendar … and every woman’s dream. Years ago, Dorian was happily married to the love of his life until cancer took her away from him.
Still coping with the loss, a romantic relationship is the furthest thing from his mind.
However, when he encounters his new tenant for the holiday, sparks fly and a fire is ignited that not even he can extinguish.
As the two navigate through various encounters, holiday festivities, and a snowstorm, will the magic of Christmas help them rediscover a long-awaited connection?"
"Depending on who you ask, Jeremy Phoenix is either the hero or villain in their story. Growing up privileged did not create an easy life for the named partner at Hunter, Phoenix, Genesis, and Prime. He’s gotten almost everything he’s ever wanted in life—except his father’s unconditional love and acceptance, and the position of managing partner at his prestigious law firm. All of that is set to change in a matter of months … if he can find a wife.
Driven, ambitious, and intelligent are three words often used to describe Maritza Amaretto. When she and her sister join Hunter, Phoenix, Genesis, and Prime, Maritza has only one goal, and that’s to advance her already stellar career. An unexpected kiss and request for her services as girlfriend for a day turn into an offer she can’t refuse—a year of her life as Jeremy’s fake wife in exchange for career advancement that both she and her sister deserve.
When the line between fake and real gets blurred, both Jeremy and Maritza find themselves battling their pasts for a chance at a future together and hoping the choices they make in their present won’t ruin their careers … and the careers of others."
