The victorious one. The summer is colder than it’s ever been for Koya Priest. Balancing a new relationship while ending another, she faces her reality head-on. Owning up to her deception, Koya holds her head high while letting the speculators know she regrets nothing that concerns Parish. With past traumas lingering, can she love him fully, or will her beautifully flawed layers cause her to miss out on the first real love she’d experienced? Recklessly out for revenge, Parish Sneaux stands on all ten toes behind his family. Sticking to the code, he gets his lick back on every person who violated him. Right by his side is Koya. Fully welcoming her presence, Parish finds himself locked in with her like never before. Their love is middle of the ocean, deep, penetrating parts of their soul that almost turn them toxic. He’s committed to making them work, even if that means tapping into a side of him that needs to heal, too. With the odds against him, Vezzo Fallago vows not to give up. The Eastside taught him how resilient he has to be and what it takes to make it out of the hood. While the scandal unfolds, his friendship with Daisy seems to be the only good thing blossoming. She’s rooting for him at every stage of the unfair game he’s playing and is ready to see him win. That was the only option; there was no returning to where he came from, and Vezzo meant it. In the finale of this coming-of-age urban romance tale, relationships are severed, patience is tested, and intentions are doubted. It’s a cold world in the summer, and it's best to bundle up if you want to make it to the winter. less
