Cold Front
In the cold streets of Chicago's South Side, love might be the most dangerous gamble of all.
Malik "Lick" Crawford has everything under control. At thirty-two, he's built an empire from nothing-a string of high-end auto shops concealing a lucrative distribution network that's made him one of the most respected names in Englewood. With his waist-length dreads, custom gold grill, and penthouse overlooking Lake Michigan, he's the epitome of a self-made king.
He's also a player who's never let anyone get close enough to matter.
Until Sarah Miller walks into his world.
She's a trauma nurse with pale skin, piercing blue eyes, and steady hands that have stitched up the worst the streets have to offer. When Malik brings a wounded associate to the ER, Sarah doesn't flinch, doesn't judge, and doesn't call the cops. She just looks him in the eye and makes a choice that will change both their lives forever.
What starts as attraction becomes obsession. What begins as a secret becomes a lifeline.
But loving Malik means inheriting his enemies. When his bitter ex-girlfriend Keisha orchestrates a deadly betrayal, when a young rival named Marco threatens war over territory and respect, and when Sarah becomes the target that could bring Malik to his knees, they're forced to confront an impossible question:
Can a man built by violence ever truly escape it?
As bodies drop and old debts come due, Malik must choose between the empire he's built and the woman who makes him want to be more than a street legend. Sarah must decide if love is worth the price of living in constant danger. And together, they'll discover that the coldest thing in Chicago isn't the winter wind-it's the choice between survival and redemption.
From the gritty streets of the South Side to the sun-soaked shores of California, COLD FRONT is a raw, passionate tale of dangerous love, impossible choices, and the courage it takes to leave everything behind for a chance at something real.
