Haywire's Reign

Caught in the crossfire of Chicago's gang war, Samore, sheltered daughter of notorious gangster Salvatore Bennett, yearns for freedom. A rebellious night out with her cousin Marquita and a chance encounter with the mysterious Rondo plunge her into a world far more dangerous than her father's overprotection. Now, with her family's enemies closing in and secrets unraveling, Samore must navigate treacherous streets and hidden truths to survive.

The crisp autumn air of Chicago in 2004 carried the weight of unspoken threats. In the aftermath of a brutal murder, the city's streets buzzed with tension. While gang leaders plotted retaliation and families scrambled for safety, seventeen-year-old Samore Bennett found herself stifled by her father's overprotective grip. All she wanted was one night of freedom, a chance to experience life outside the gilded cage of his mansion.

Prom night offered the perfect opportunity. Escaping the watchful eyes of her family, Samore joined her cousin Marquita, hoping for a taste of normalcy. But a disappointing date and a thirst for something more led her down a different path, one that would intertwine her life with the mysterious Rondo and pull her deeper into the very world her father tried to shield her from.
