Lark “Law” Gutierrez, heir to his father’s, Manuel “Guap” Gutierrez, empire, had only been in charge for a couple of years when everything went down. Before he met her. Fawn Patterson, daughter of Milton “Ice” Patterson, best friend to Larks father. Their paths were meant to cross. Their families were close once. But their intermingling families would soon have a mark on them. Starting with Fawn. Since the death of her father and one of her brothers, someone has been trying to get to her. Unbeknownst to them, Lark would do anything to keep that from happening. He was drawn to her like a moth to a flame and danger ensued because of it. He could fall in love with her, share a love bred through the streets but so much deeper than that. But would the streets let them have it? He was down for her, she was for him. Would the streets let him prove that?

“Man, you know me. I’m tryna be tha Gutierrez king in this bitch…” Seth “Smoke” Gutierrez was groomed to be a king pin just like his older brother Lark “Law” Gutierrez. And now that his brother had settled down and was married with kids, it was his turn. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a while now. The keys to the Gutierrez kingdom belonged to him now, but suddenly the throne didn’t look so appealing. At least not without Amiko Lopez. She was the furthest thing from the hood, but he fell in love with her and she fell just as hard. He could tell she had a thing for a savage. And all was fine and good until the block got hot and people started losing their lives. Until Smoke almost lost his brother right before Fawn was kidnapped. He had to choose. Amiko or an empire that was built to be passed down to him. She had had enough of the destruction that life brought. It was either her or his legacy. Will he choose the love of his life? Or will new storms and enemies stoke the flames of his love for the streets?
