Crimson Roses & Cocain Tears: A Forbidden Love - Paperback

by Khadijha Jackson (Author)

Alexis Noelle Carter has learned to survive. At sixteen, life has already taken more from her than most, an incarcerated father, an addicted and absent mother, and years of emotional abuse. Now living in the Bronx with her no nonsense grandmother, Alexis focuses on one thing: staying out of drama and making it through high school.

At Bronx Academic High School, Alexis keeps to herself, until Justice Kingston pulls up beside her. He's the school's silent heartthrob, a boy with a reputation, a past in the streets, and eyes that see right through her.

What starts as a chance encounter turns into something neither of them expected, something dangerous, intense, and real.

She's focused on her future.

He's focused on survival.

Together, they're fighting a love the world says shouldn't exist.

But will their hearts be strong enough to survive the secrets, the streets, and the tears?
