Charm
Joi Miner
Some families raise doctors.
Some raise thieves.
Mine raised legends.
Charm grew up in the Seven Clan—one of the most infamous grifter families in the Southeast. They could swindle anyone, steal anything, and vanish before the law even knew where to look.
Luck was always on their side.
Until the night someone slaughtered them all.
Now Charm is the last living member of the Seven Clan, running Emerald Palace—the most exclusive club in the city and the only thing she ever built that wasn’t a con.
But the man responsible for her family’s murder just walked through her doors.
Da’Kuan Coleman.
Ruthless. Arrogant. Dangerous.
And convinced that Charm—and whatever treasure the Seven Clan died protecting—belongs to him.
Meanwhile, private investigator Kaia Coleman has been hired to solve the murders of the Seven Clan before their deaths spark a war in the criminal underworld.
There’s just one problem.
The deeper she digs, the more she realizes the truth might destroy everything—including the one woman she can’t stop thinking about.
Because the Seven Clan didn’t just steal fortunes.
They were guarding something far more dangerous.
Something ancient.
Something that should have stayed buried.
And when luck finally turns…
blood will be the price.
