Loyalty isn't always love. And love doesn't always come with loyalty.
Zyir Mathis was built for the block, smart, and strategic. But when the streets start talking and bodies hit the pavement, Zyir is forced to choose between who he loves and what he’s built.
His baby mama, La’taija, got curves, chaos, and the kind of mouth that could start a war. Monica, his Afro-Latina sneaky link, is temptation in heels with secrets that go deeper than her love bites. And then there’s Diamond, the one who got away, the one who still holds his heart... and the one who might save him from the life he can’t escape.
But peace wasn't promised in Detroit. When betrayals hit too close and enemies move in silence, Zyir must stay ten toes down in a city where one wrong move could cost him his freedom, his family, or his life.
Fast-paced, raw, and emotionally charged, Zyir kicks off the Block Life Chronicles with heat, heartbreak, and the high stakes of survival.
Perfect for fans of gritty street fiction, Black love with edge, and stories where the block always has the last word.
