Some betrayals don't just break a woman.
They wake up the part of her that never should've been touched.
Nicole gave Marcus years of loyalty, love, forgiveness, and chances he never deserved. But when she catches her husband in bed with her best friend, something inside her goes cold. One frozen night. Two bodies. One house burning behind her.
She thinks the fire buried the truth.
She's wrong.
Marcus left behind more than lies. He left debt, fake paperwork, a secret life, and a dangerous street boss named D-Block who wants everything Marcus stole. When D-Block turns his attention toward Nicole's family, including her sixteen-year-old sister Niyah, Nicole stops running from the mess Marcus made and starts taking control of it.
With Kane, Smoke, Reign, and a few dangerous allies at her side, Nicole moves through a city full of dirty cops, hidden ledgers, backdoor deals, betrayal, blood, and men who keep underestimating her.
But Nicole is no longer the wife who cried, waited, and forgave.
She is the woman they should have left alone.
And once she decides she wants more than survival, the whole city learns one thing:
Nicole isn't just cold.
She's cold enough to burn.
Cold Enough to Burn: A Cold Bitch's Winter is a gritty urban crime thriller packed with betrayal, revenge, street power, family loyalty, dangerous love, and a woman's brutal rise after heartbreak turns deadly.
