Blood & Asphalt
Fifteen years behind bars taught Marcus Vance two things: trust no one, and never come back empty-handed. But when he walks out of prison with nothing but a busted flip phone and a pack of smokes, Southside Fort Worth isn't ready to let him start over. Not clean.
No welcome home. No second chances. Just debt, surveillance, and the same damn streets that swallowed him whole the first time.
Within days, Marcus is pulled back into a maze of old enemies, crooked deals, and the kind of "friends" who bring kolaches to a gunfight. A setup at a cheap motel drags him into the crosshairs of both the cops and a cartel-connected kingpin named Sosa. With his back against the wall, Marcus does what he does best-moves smart, hits harder, and keeps breathing.
But this time, staying alive means playing every side. A snitch from the past. A detective with a grudge. A woman he can't stop saving. And a city where one bad decision becomes a headline by morning.
As the streets heat up and his enemies multiply, Marcus must choose between burning it all down or becoming exactly the kind of monster they think he is.
Fast, sharp, and soaked in diesel and sweat, Blood & Asphalt is a hard-edged urban crime thriller about loyalty, survival, and the price of freedom when the system's rigged from the jump.
