Breakfast With A Gangsta: An Urban Novel

Life had been nothing but cold for Haze Money—fresh out the feds, hungry for a come-up, and laser-focused on one rebuilding his father’s empire. The Chicago streets he once ruled don’t feel the same, but the grind? That’s all he knows. Ruthless, calculated, and untouchable, Haze moves like a man with nothing to lose. His heart is locked up tighter than his cell ever was, and distractions? He ain't got time for that.

Until one random morning flips his whole world upside down.

Milan Mellow stopped believing in love a long time ago. A man who
can’t make up his mind keeps her tied up in a situationship that ain't leading nowhere, but breaking free feels just as pointless. Love ain't in the cards for her—so she focuses on stacking her paper, working her shift, and keeping her circle tight. No expectations. No disappointments.

Then, over breakfast, a stranger changes everything.

He calls himself a gangster, but Milan sees more than that. There’s a story behind his eyes, a danger in his silence, a past that clings to him like shadows. And Haze? He ain't the type to chase, but something about Milan makes him want to break every rule he's ever lived by.

The chemistry is instant. Unshakable. But the past never stays buried, and in a city where loyalty is everything, love is the biggest gamble of all. When jealousy, betrayal, and old secrets come creeping in, Haze and Milan will have to decide—do they fight for what they’re building, or let the weight of the streets tear them apart?

Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing ain't the game.
It’s taking a chance on love.
