Blaque Juliette - by Tarris Marie (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In a world where loyalty can kill you and love can trap you, survival is the only way out in this engrossing, high-octane crime saga perfect for fans of Jahquel J.

Juliette "Jules" Remington was born in America's murder capital and raised by the streets long before she ever chose them. Abandoned, betrayed, and broken too young, she learned fast that love don't live here, unless you fight for it. And Jules? She's always been a fighter.

Her only light in the darkness is Legend Prescott Remington--her protector, her ride-or-die, her first and forever love. From childhood snow angels to criminal underground tunnels, their bond runs deeper than blood. But when the Feds close in and a deadly setup tears them apart, Jules flees to Los Angeles chasing a chance to rewrite her story ... and gets trapped in something far worse.

LA becomes a playground for cartels, traffickers, and men who see beauty as currency. Entangled with Scarlet Entertainment, an elite pipeline hiding exploitation behind luxury, Jules discovers that the same world promising her escape wants her soul in return.

Then comes Christian "Blaque" Savage, Atlanta's smoothest kingpin with a mind like a weapon and a heart that shouldn't want her. Their chemistry is lethal, their partnership forbidden, and their connection dangerous enough to ruin everything Jules is fighting for. Especially when she learns the only way out . . . might be to betray the man she loves.

Haunted by the past, hunted by the law, and torn between two powerful men, Jules must choose. In a world where loyalty gets you killed and love is the most dangerous drug of all, survival comes with a price. The question is whether she can outlast the darkness long enough to claim her freedom, or if her secrets will pull her under for good.
