title: It's the Game We Love
author: Echols, Brandy
description: After being framed for his mother's vicious death, Elandro Tezmont returns home from a fifteen year sentence. While adjusting to his freedom, he finds that his younger sister, Redd, is struggling, his close friend, Daniel, is now a drug addict, and the true murderer of his mother has yet to be revealed. After being ambushed by a group of strangers, Elandro refuses to continue with the disrespect. His life begins to move at a fast pace once his best friend, Trel, introduces him to the infamous Randall Vargas. Randall is the king of the city, and his trust in Trel allows him to extend a helping hand to Elandro. As he emerges into the drug game, his life proceeds to change for the better; at least that's what he thought. Aside from hustling, he finds himself extremely attracted to his sister's best friend Rhein. Despite his sister's warnings to stay away, Elandro sweeps Rhein off her feet. But when his childhood crush, Brittnea, shows up, he finds himself juggling two hearts. While trying to tame both ladies, he's unknowingly being favored by Randall's beautiful niece, Dallas. Dallas knows her uncle would frown upon the idea of her and his employee, but she still has the urge to get a piece of Elandro. She makes it damn near impossible to resist her, and her behavior begins to cause trouble for Elandro. Things get even worse when The Lezyir brothers emerge from Miami to attack Randall's squad, leaving behind a bloody massacre. While trying to protect his family and play king of hearts, Elandro finds himself in a war he could've never prepared for, and he quickly realizes it's a cold world.
