Krowned

The life of a "struggling artist" was not one that Royce Kingston had ever envisioned for herself. But brutal circumstances and the death of her best friend Krown set Royce's life on a path she could have never imagined. It didn't help that she felt betrayed by the people closest to her, including Krown's intriguing, infuriating brother, Bishop Banks. As conflicted as she was about Bishop, Royce just couldn't deny the burning attraction that they shared nor the secrets that were bound to destroy them.

The day he learned his sister died, Bishop Banks vowed to leave the streets behind. He couldn't stand the guilt in his own heart.
The hurt he saw in Royce's eyes and her refusal to acknowledge him and what they shared had him thinking that the potential between them had been crushed. His need to get away and the questions surrounding his sister's death lead Banks to focus his attention ON his new found love.. diamonds.
Now, he had returned to the city. Determined to put the missing puzzle pieces together, he showed no mercy. Banks pursued answers that would provide him with closure and ultimately- Royce.
For a long time, Bishop believed that love was not in the cards for him. But reconnecting with Royce in an unexpected place made him wonder if his assumptions were wrong. Maybe fate held a future for him with his young love and this time, Banks was determined not to miss out.

Beauty and simplicity were the guiding forces in Infinity Kingston's life. Enmeshed in her work with priceless art, the gallery owner shunned entanglements and complications. Infinity liked things elegant and refined, two words that could never be used to describe Tristan "Tank" Black. Impulsive and just a little insane, Tank had no interest in things like "balance" and "order." Still, he was everything Infinity desired... But felt she didn't need.

Despite his brash and bold demeanor, Tank Black craved peace. For the longest time, Infinity had been his, but the streets had other plans. Now that he was rightfully positioned, he had every intention on claiming what was his.
