Description

In the streets, you play to survive. In love, you risk it all. But when the lines between both start to blur, who can you really trust? Avery "Cap" Dupree runs the city-respected, feared, and always two steps ahead of anyone trying to come for his throne. But when his old enemy Eli resurfaces, everything he's built starts to crumble. Cap's been through it all, but nothing prepared him for Isla. She's got him caught up in feelings he swore he'd never let get in the way of the hustle. With Eli gunnin' for his empire, can he protect the woman who's become his heart? Isla knows getting involved with a man like Avery ain't easy. She sees the danger in his world, the weight he carries, and the enemies lurking in the shadows. But every time she's with him, it's like the rest of the world falls away. Isla's been hurt before, but this time, she's ready to fight. The question is-can Avery let her in before it's too late? And then there's Xavier, Cap's ride-or-die, holding down his own with a messy baby mama, Tiffany, who's got him twisted in ways he never thought possible. Between the streets pulling him in one direction and his heart pulling him toward a future with someone real like Simone, Xavier's on the verge of snapping. When love and loyalty clash, how far will he go to keep what's his? In this world, love don't come easy, and neither does survival. Everybody's playing for keeps-and not everyone makes it out. "In Bloom" is a story of loyalty, betrayal, and love in the hood-where every decision could be your last, and the ones closest to you could either save you or bring you down.
