Release: A Street Lit Romance
He did five years for a man who couldn’t do five minutes.
Tank kept his mouth shut when the Feds came.
No snitching. No statements. No deals.
The streets called it loyalty.
Prison called it survival.
While Tank sat behind concrete and steel, his friend since grade school, Pooh took over the empire—moving weight through Atlanta’s west side, stacking money in luxury high-rises, and rewriting history like Tank never existed.
But the streets never forget a real one and now Tank is home.
The blocks look different.
The coke is purer.
The YNs have no code.
And the woman he once protected has lost her way.
Mercedes survived asset seizures, empty accounts, and the humiliation of watching another man rise off her man's sacrifice. She’s no longer the woman he left behind. She’s picked up habits.
She's street-wise,.. and she waited for Tank's return.
In this city, love is rare.
Loyalty is currency.
And sex is leverage.
Pooh thinks he buried the past.
He forgot one thing.
Tank didn’t survive five years in prison to rebuild what was stolen.
He came home disciplined. Calculated. And ready to collect.
From trap houses in Bankhead to club parties dripping in temptation, RELEASE is a gritty African American street-lit saga packed with drugs, power plays, betrayal, erotic tension, and the psychological warfare of men who refuse to lose.
In the streets, everybody wants freedom.
But when you owe a debt to the wrong king…
Freedom becomes personal.
And somebody always pays.
