Hello

Three childhood best friends navigate life and love in the windy city.

Jonathan, a former professional athlete, has a heart of gold for his friends but is stone cold to women. Love ’em and leave ’em is his motto, but when his reckless lifestyle spills over into the lives of his loved ones, will he finally confront his demons?

Tyreese is a bestselling author who has made his fortune writing love stories, yet he can’t seem to craft his own happy ending. When an old friend comes to town for a funeral, he realizes she’s everything he needs in a woman. Problem is, she lives over seventeen hundred miles away, and they are both in relationships.

Monica is the mama bear of the trio. She loves hard and is fiercely protective of everyone except herself. A chance meeting with a former co-worker ends in a night of explosive sex that causes her to keep a secret from her friends. Her heart and mind are at odds in her new relationship, but she’s willing to risk it all for a chance at love.

Witty, sexy, and deeply poignant, A Love Thang reveals the softer side of veteran author Alex Richardson.

The Family Series (1-3)

​

Mike “The Don” Smith has spent his life mastering the hustle. From gambling dens to money laundering, he’s built a Chi-Town empire on one foundation: Family. He’s spent years playing it smart and staying away from the "heavy" drug game—but the game just changed.

With the streets crowded and profits drying up, The Don is forced into a world he’s spent a lifetime avoiding. But the danger isn't just coming from the corners; it’s coming from inside his own home. Between a wife whose greed knows no bounds, a secret son moving under his roof, and a daughter whose choices could ignite a war, the Don’s circle is tightening.

In the unforgiving concrete of Chicago, loyalty is a myth and betrayal is a family affair. As the pressure mounts and the bullets fly, The Don must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice to keep his crown.

In this game, the deadliest enemies are the ones who call you family.

One king. One disloyal soldier. One woman caught in the middle.

Rico Brown has it all—power, money, and a reputation that keeps Chicago in fear. But his arrogance is his Achilles' heel. While he plays a high-stakes game of survival on the streets, his wife Charlene is playing a much more dangerous game at home.

​

Starved for affection and tired of Rico’s constant infidelities, Charlene finds solace in the arms of Roman, the very man hired to protect her. Their affair is electric, illicit, and potentially fatal.

​

But there’s a snake in the grass. Geno, an undercover detective with a lifelong vendetta, has Rico in his sights. He’s waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and the Roman-Charlene affair might be the leverage he needs to bring the whole empire down.
