The main thing on her agenda is her brother's best friend, Dallas. Dallas is a local dope boy who all the chicks in the hood wanted. With him being her brother's best friend, that also means he is off limits, but that's not stopping Danielle. Dallas is just a simple dope boy trying to make it and take care of his family. Danielle was the furthest thing from his mind until she started demanding attention. Throwing herself at him in public was only the half, she also had some tricks up her sleeves behind closed doors too. Knowing that taking things further with Danielle would ruin his friendship, but that may be a risk he had to take for love. A deadly situation happens in front of Danielle's eyes and causes her to react before thinking. With a life hanging on the line, will Danielle see that this lifestyle isn't what she needs or will she choose love and possibly lose everything she worked hard for? Love is a crazy game, and it can sometimes lead you on the road to destruction. Danielle and Dallas have that crazy love for each other, but love won't be enough in the end when you have everything to lose at stake.

Emotions are high after Danielle made a devastating decision to protect the love of her life. She was more than willing to stand up for the man who has had her heart since the moment she saw him, even if standing behind him meant spending years in jail. In everyone else's eyes, she's a fool, but to Danielle, she made the right decision and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Guess one could say she was a fool in love. Dallas never wanted Danielle to get sucked up into his crazy lifestyle. With so many regrets weighing on him, the main one being how he couldn't protect Danielle when she needed it the most, Dallas does the unthinkable. Their relationship was rocky from the start, and now with the separation between the two, they will see there's always room for more to come between them. What happens when the man who was once your superhero turns out to be the villain? On top of her personal life drama, Danielle and her brother, Reggie, find out a devastating secret about their father that leaves them speechless.

At the end of part two, Dallas was left seeing Danielle in a new light. Unsure of whether their bond was strong enough to withstand the wrongs that had been done, he decides to do what any man in his position would do- eliminate the problem. Having worked too hard to finally be together, it's hard to just let things go. Unfortunately, one mistake may be too much to overlook. Once the light is shone on all their secrets and truths are revealed, will they get past it, or will it cost them everything? Reggie and Shannon's love was one that was unexpected, but it becomes evident that they're determined to let nothing tear them apart... not even someone from the past who refuses to let go. Forgiveness and communication in their relationships are what they'll need to survive their problems. Will these couples follow the rules of love, or will these dope boys get returned to the Westside where they will live out the rest of their dope boy days?

First edition of Sinclair's savage satire, loosely based on the life and career of Edward L. Doheny, and the Teapot Dome scandal of the Harding administration. Although Sinclair's famous novel The Jungle deals with Chicago's meatpacking industry, he moved west to Pasadena in 1916 and began writing novels set in California, the best of which was Oil!, the story of the education of Bunny Ross, son of wildcat oil man Joe Ross after oil is discovered outside Los Angeles. The novel was the basis for Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 film There Will Be Blood. In California Classics, Lawrence Clark Powell called Oil! "Sinclair's most sustained and best writing."

It: Chapter Two—now a major motion picture! Stephen King’s terrifying, classic #1 New York Times bestseller, “a landmark in American literature” (Chicago Sun-Times)—about seven adults who return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they had first stumbled on as teenagers…an evil without a name: It. Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers. Readers of Stephen King know that Derry, Maine, is a place with a deep, dark hold on the author. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But it all starts with It. “Stephen King’s most mature work” (St. Petersburg Times), “It will overwhelm you…to be read in a well-lit room only” (Los Angeles Times).
