Good Girls Gone Rogue By Manny Black
Shannon is a normal fourteen-year-old student attending Camden High School. She’s smart, intelligent, and has big plans for her future. Sometimes too smart for her own good. Right by her side is her not-so-smart best friend, Cynthia and the two are thick as thieves. The young teens find themselves influenced by two young men, Boo-Juan and Deshawn, two low-level drug dealers that they meet while taking a walk during their lunch break.
It doesn’t take the girls long before they find themselves caught up in the essence of young love, or so they thought, and are diverted from their original good girl paths. Soon after meeting the boys, Shannon, the brains of the group, comes up with a brilliant plan to take Boo-Juan and Deshawn’s petty drugs, and flip it into a successful drug operation that extends out to family and friends.
During this journey, Shannon and Cynthia find out just how cold, cruel, and unfair the dope game can be when things begin to cause more harm than good, and they begin to lose members, money, and respect. It’s then that Shannon is able to understand the consequences of a good girl gone rogue.

Ridin' For You by Telia Teanna
SHARING IS CARING… UNTIL FEELINGS ARE INVOLVED.
This is certainly the case for twin brothers, Zyan and Zyair. The brothers share a close bond and tell each other mostly everything but some secrets are held close to the vest. However, one woman is definitely not a secret but is absolutely their weakness—McKenzie. But is their weakness more trouble than she’s worth?
With Zyair being a heavyweight in the streets, he needs a down ass woman to be by his side and wants Kenzie to fulfill that role. When she declines, Zyair gets engaged to the next woman, in an attempt to make her jealous. However, his plan backfires but leaving Kenzie alone is not an option. Keeping Kenzie is a priority but things are shaken up when his twin comes home.
After doing a three-year bid, Zyan is back on the scene, expecting things to resume as normal. However, he gets a rude awakening when the pause button is pushed. While trying to adjust to his new normal, Zyan is yearningly pulled into an uninhibited zone while searching for long overdue answers.
For as long as McKenzie could remember, the twins have always been apart of her life. They are the yin and yang to her soul, filling her in different and pleasurable ways. However, her heart is twisted and tangled and her mind is confused and clouded —especially since she has soul ties to both Zyan and Zyair.
The lines are blurred, souls are stirred, and hearts are in shambles when sharing becomes a problem and feelings intensify. Damning truths are revealed, haunting secrets are disclosed, close connections are severed, and familial ties are restored. With lives hanging in the balance, find out the costly consequences that happen when a decision is rectified and loyalty is proven in book one of this urban fiction series, Ridin’ For You.
If you love messy, drama-filled, erotic books, then this is the story for you. This tale will have your mind reeling and thirsting for more by the end of it.

With no one left to lean on after being left to fend for herself, she befriends a girl with a story similar to her own.

With a past that could very well predict the future, will Babygirl be able to look past her love for her friend and see her for who she really is or will she fall victim to the cross?
