National Book Award winner Kathryn Erskine delivers a powerful story of family, friendship, and race relations in the South.Life will never be the same for Red Porter. He's a kid growing up around black car grease, white fence paint, and the backward attitudes of the folks who live in his hometown, Rocky Gap, Virginia. Red's daddy, his idol, has just died, leaving Red and Mama with some hard decisions and a whole lot of doubt. Should they sell the Porter family business, a gas station, repair shop, and convenience store rolled into one, where the slogan -- "Porter's: We Fix it Right!" -- has been shouting the family's pride for as long as anyone can remember? With Daddy gone, everything's different. Through his friendship with Thomas, Beau, and Miss Georgia, Red starts to see there's a lot more than car motors and rusty fenders that need fixing in his world. When Red discovers the injustices that have been happening in Rocky Gap since before he was born, he's faced with unsettling questions about his family's legacy.

This is book 2 of A Dark Mafia Romance series! Book 3 of this bad boy mafia romance series is available everywhere now! I'm about to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Everything is happening too fast. One minute I was backpacking in France, happy and carefree. The next, I’m being smuggled onboard a yacht, about to be sold as a toy to a group of very bad men. My only way out of this is simple, but deadly: Seduce my buyer. Slit his throat. And run screaming for the hills. But the mysterious Blaine is far more than a match for me. He paid good money for the right to own my body. And a man like him will NOT be denied what’s rightfully his. I’m forced to let him do whatever he wants to me. So imagine my horror when my body responds eagerly to his savage touch. And imagine my surprise when Blaine’s secrets come to light. I’m not just a new possession for him. I’m the key to completing a mission he began long ago. The mission to slaughter my family. I don’t want to believe it, but it’s true: I now belong to the hitman who was sent to kill me.
