Give Me All Of You by Tacarra

JaRue Malone is a single mother who simply tries to make ends meet. The father of her eighteen-month-old daughter, Infiniti, refuses to help take care simply because JaRue won’t play by his rules. With the help of her best friend, Journei, and her bosses, Knasim and Knight Richmond, she’s able to provide a somewhat stable and comfortable environment for her daughter. That is until her child’s father tries to get the upper-hand on her situation, leaving her in shambles, not knowing which way to turn.
Hassan Ashby is the heir apparent to The Ashby Crime Family in Wood Haven. After his father steps down and appoints him the new head of the family, he’s thrown headfirst into his role and everything it entails. Working closely with The RCF, Hassan is given a direct order from Knasim that he has to adhere to, or it could cost his family more than he could afford to lose.
Journei is JaRue’s best friend. She’s down to ride with JaRue ’till the wheels fall off. She’s been by her friend’s side through everything that she’s been dealt with, leaving her to have very little time for herself. That is until she crosses paths with Rakeem Ashby. Sparks fly immediately, but what Journei doesn’t know is that Rakeem is keeping a part of his life from her, and it could put a nail in the budding relationship that they’re trying to build.
Rakeem Ashby is his brother’s right hand and enforcer. Whatever problem The ACF has, he’s the man for the job. He just wishes his personal life is as easy. Rakeem has a lot on his plate, but when Journei enters his life, he feels compelled to make it easier to insert her in it. The only problem is, he hasn’t revealed every aspect of his life.
Not knowing the outcome of what the Universe has in store for them, these two couples navigate through every storm and obstacle in order to conserve solace in their lives. Will they get knocked down at every turn, or will they defy the odds that are thrown at them?
