Plot 📖:Cordae “Gram” Young has put in work to get where he is in life. From hustling on the streets of Dade County to making millions by selling cocaine through the ports of Miami, he’s become one of the wealthiest and most notorious leaders the East coast has ever seen. Gram plays by his own set of rules and has no tolerance for anything or anyone that doesn’t benefit him financially. He’s in control of every aspect of his life until he meets the beautiful Seveyn Lattimore. He’s instantly drawn to her, but Gram is about his business above anything else.

Seveyn Lattimore is more than just the plug's daughter. She’s young and innocent, unlike The Flores Cartel she was born into. Seveyn is pulled into the life of scandal, schemes, and murder. Taught to use her virginity to allure men and sell them a fantasy that is hard to resist, she locks eyes with the tall and handsome Gram. The two connect, and Seveyn sees Gram as her opportunity to break away from The Flores Cartel for good.

When Seveyn’s secrets are revealed, Gram is forced to make a decision that could mean life or death. Forced to bring out his animalistic side, Gram is leaving his victims with nightmares.

Stop chasing. Start choosing. When you raise your standards, the right man rises to meet them. ⸻ You don’t make him chase you by playing games. You make him chase you by having standards, a full life, and the confidence to walk away.
