For teenagers Angel, Rahsaan, and Kahmeer, the summer before their last year of high school is the time for unadulterated fun. What they don’t expect is for a party to lead to a shootout that changes the trajectory of their summer and their lives permanently.

Cousins Imani and Darla, don’t expect connecting with Angel and Rahsaan to reshape their hearts and lives, but it does. They learn quickly that the only thing stronger than love is hate, and the only person they can trust is themselves.

The Sweetest Knockout is told through the lens of five teenagers from seventeen to twenty-two as they navigate lust, love, life, and, unfortunately, death. It is book one of a four book standalone series. While The Sweetest Knockout ends with a cliffhanger, the rest of the books will not.
