72 Hours With An Unhinged Menace 3
(2026)(The third book in the 72 Hours With An Unhinged Menace series)
A novel by Brickhouse
What should’ve been the final showdown between Crown Mekhari and Bankston DeLuca only makes things worse.
In their world, peace does not last. It only buys time before the next war.
And this time, the stakes are bigger than territory. They are personal.
With Zion now standing at the center of two powerful bloodlines, everything begins to shift. What started as tension between men is turning into something deeper, something tied to family legacy, power, and a future nobody can control.
Nirvana thought she understood what came with choosing Crown. She thought she was ready for the weight of loving a man like him. But this world does not just test loyalty. It exposes weakness, forces hard choices, and makes it clear that love and war will never live separately. The deeper she gets, the more she realizes there is no way to have Crown without also standing in the middle of everything that comes with his name.
And Crown is no longer moving off emotion.
He is calculating.
When the message comes to drop the case or face war, the game changes. What once felt personal becomes strategy. Lines are drawn, moves are made, and the people caught in the middle quickly learn this is not something they can simply walk away from.
As pressure builds from every side, control starts slipping in dangerous ways. Addiction turns reckless. Loyalty gets tested. And the fragile balance holding everything together begins to break.
Because this was never about ending anything.
It was about setting the stage.
In this African American romance filled with hood empire drama, dangerous love, family power, and legacy on the line, Crown and Nirvana are forced to face the truth about what it really costs to love in a world built on loyalty, pride, and war.
And when everything finally breaks, nobody is walking away untouched.
Because peace was never the goal. It was only the delay.
