From Section Eight to Mansion Gates: The Revised Houston Edition

Olive Price was raised in comfort, shielded from struggle and untouched by survival. But when tragedy turns her world upside down, she and her younger sister are forced to grow up fast. At just ten and twelve years old, they're ripped away from everything familiar and dropped into a life they were never prepared for in Houston, Texas.

That's where Olive meets Demetri "Taz" Hawks.

Demetri has never known comfort. Survival is all he's ever had. After his own mother sold him for a fix, he was raised in the streets, molded by pain, and trained to do Petey's dirty work without question. He's hardened, dangerous, and used to making choices that cost him pieces of himself. Until Olive. Loving her forces him to want more than survival, and protecting her becomes the first decision he makes for himself.

Together, Olive and Demetri learn what it means to build something from nothing. Demetri is determined to give Olive the life she lost, even if it means stepping deeper into a world that could destroy him. But when money comes, attention follows, and with it comes temptation, pressure, and enemies who don't believe love belongs in their lane.

As Olive is introduced to wealth, influence, and a lifestyle she once knew, she's forced to ask herself if love is enough when everything else is on the line. Can Demetri protect her heart without losing himself? Does success really come with more problems? And is their bond strong enough to survive the very world he built to save her?

This African American romance delivers an emotional love story rooted in survival, loyalty, and sacrifice, proving that sometimes the strongest love is born from the hardest beginnings.
