    Concrete Dreams tells the gripping story of Lucas Bostock, a Jamaican immigrant who arrives in 1950s London determined to succeed — and to impose his vision of success on his family. A harsh, domineering man, shaped and scarred by survival, Lucas is no one's idea of a nice man. When his wife Rhoda finally leaves him, taking their only daughter, he's left to raise their three sons with a mix of toughness, pride, and unrelenting ambition.
    Lucas believes that hard work — on building sites, as a carpenter, and eventually as a landlord — is the only way to protect his family. But as his children grow up and take their own paths through boxing, journalism, politics, retail, and religion, they are forced to reckon with the cost of their father's influence. Meanwhile, the tenants in his houses add further layers to this vivid portrait of Caribbean-British life, sharing their stories of resistance and renewal in a changing city.
    Dennis crafts Lucas with remarkable honesty — flawed, often unlikeable, but deeply human. Concrete Dreams is both an intimate family saga and a bold exploration of race, masculinity, and generational legacy. It's a Windrush story, but one that refuses easy narratives, capturing instead the full complexity of Caribbean London and the voices that shaped it—and a narrator determined to tell his own.

    Jump into the world of fated mates and the darkness of fantasy paranormal romance with two romances from Aspen Pack series.  
    Etched in Honor (Aspen Pack Book 1) 
    I thought I’d lost my fated mate until he shows up years later. Only with no memory of me. Or us. 
    As Beta of the Aspen Pack, I was forced to watch our former Alpha turn to dark magic and destroy the bonds of our people. 
    I nearly died trying to save us, but I broke the biggest taboo: I told the others that cat shifters existed and almost lost everything in return. 
    Now we have a new Alpha, a new future, and a dangerous and mysterious enemy threatening our stable balance. And a new Tracker. 
    The man who looks like my dead mate. 
    Hunted in Darkness (Aspen Pack Book 2) 
    I knew I wanted her the first time I saw her. Only problem? She can’t be my mate. 
    I’m a son of a traitor and former Alpha and I know it’s the legacy people see. 
    But I must be the Alpha of my Pack and protect them from the new threat to our world: Vampires. 
    Valac and the others are still in the shadows, and we must find their lairs before we lose more than we already have. 
    Only every time the enemy attacks, Skye puts herself in jeopardy. I’m the dominant wolf, but she’s the one with the most to lose. 
    She’s the Pack princess. The daughter of legends. 
    And I know she’s not my mate. 
    But I want her. I need her. And now I must convince my wolf. Or break the most sacred rules of the moon goddess. 
    Again.

    A widowed sorceress. 
    And a second chance at love—and revenge. 
    Born a noblewoman's bastard, Thadred has risen to become High Inquisitor, tasked with hunting escaped cythraul demons across the land. Despite the injuries that left him maimed for life, he has become indispensable to the empire.

    A year ago, Thadred and Sair helped save the world from a fallen goddess, but it's not safe just yet. Unrest ripples through the empire, stray demons lurk in the shadows, and the denizens of a defeated witch still linger. 
    Now one of those denizens has taken Sair's young son. 
    Worse, they soon realize the boy's abduction may have more to do with the cythraul demons than anyone thought. Something evil is at work, and Thadred and Sair must stop it before it rains terror on the unsuspecting empire. 
    Bastard's Honor is a second-chance Fantasy Romance that takes place after the events of the Daindreth's Assassin series. It will contain heavy spoilers for the Daindreth's Assassin series, but can be read separately.
