A KINGPIN’S REDEMPTION A gripping tale of redemption, sacrifice, and the transformative power of second chances. Dr. Raven Carter has built a life of healing and purpose, dedicating herself to serving Chicago’s most vulnerable communities. But when Chance Taylor walks back into her life after twenty-five years, she’s forced to confront the ghosts of her past—and the undeniable pull of a love she thought she’d left behind. Chance is no longer the boy who once saved her at a high school party. He’s become one of Chicago’s most powerful drug dealers, commanding respect and fear in equal measure. Yet beneath the hardened exterior, Raven sees glimpses of the person he was meant to be—and the man he desperately wants to become. As their rekindled romance deepens, Chance faces an impossible choice: continue ruling an empire built on violence and corruption, or risk everything for a chance at redemption and a future with the only woman who’s ever truly seen him. But walking away from his past proves more dangerous than either of them imagined, and soon both their lives hang in the balance. When love demands the ultimate sacrifice, Chance must decide what matters more—the power he’s spent a lifetime building, or the salvation only Raven can offer. In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal means death, some prices are too high to pay. A powerful story about the courage it takes to change, the strength required to forgive, and the love that makes us willing to die—so that others might live. Perfect for readers who loved The Hate U Give and All American Boys , this contemporary romance explores themes of redemption, community healing, and the enduring power of love to transform even the most broken souls.
