Stackin' Paper Part 9: Buried But Breathing - Paperback

by Joy Deja King (Author)

Genesis struggles to maintain control over the empire he rebuilt from the ashes of tragedy, haunted by the presumed death of his son Amir. But a storm is coming-one no amount of power, loyalty, or street dominance can fully prepare him for. With enemies multiplying and shadows closing in, Genesis leans on his inner circle: Supreme, Nico, Precious, and his relentless protégé Caleb. Together they brace for the nonstop war with his ruthless rival Maverick McClay, who wants back the woman carrying his baby, Shiffon. Maverick moves to dismantle Genesis's operation by any means necessary-using blood ties, betrayal, and a small army of killers loyal only to chaos.

As whispers spread that Amir may still be alive, Genesis spirals deeper into obsession while everyone around him prepares for the fallout. With Amir presumed dead, Desmond steps in to reclaim his role as husband to Justina and father to baby Desi-to the disgust of Angel and Aaliyah, who can't stand Justina and see her as a threat to Amir's legacy. Meanwhile, Dominique-the mother of his daughter-has her own agenda. Jealous and calculating, she's hellbent on destroying whatever future Justina and Desmond try to rebuild.

Precious stands firm at Genesis's side, but danger is closing in from every direction. Nico finds fleeting peace with Kyra, the nurse who helped him recover, but his past refuses to stay buried. Genevieve and Renny are drawn back into the war as Pilar returns with a secret-and a score to settle.

In Stackin' Paper Part 9: Buried But Breathing it will test every bond, every betrayal as now Genesis is fighting ghosts, enemies, and the weight of this families legacy.
