The wait is over. I GOT YOU: Blood and Promises, Book One of the I GOT YOU trilogy, is officially available. Geri James makes her urban fiction debut with Nina’s story—a raw journey through loyalty, survival, family, love, betrayal, and the promises that can either hold people together or tear everything apart.

Nina learned early that survival comes with rules. Trust carefully. Pay attention. Protect the people you love. And understand that loyalty always has a price. But as her world grows more dangerous, the lines between love, business, family, and the streets become harder to separate.

Blood and Promises is only the beginning. The I GOT YOU trilogy will continue with Book Two, Love, Lies and Loyalty, followed by Book Three. Nina’s story is far from finished—and neither are the secrets, betrayals, and consequences waiting for her.

I GOT YOU: Blood and Promises is available now on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.

The Story Behind Geri James


Geri James was created as a home for stories that are raw, complicated, emotional, and unapologetically urban. Her fiction is built around characters who don’t always make the right choices, relationships that aren’t always clean, and worlds where loyalty can be just as dangerous as betrayal.

Rather than writing characters as simply good or bad, Geri James explores the space in between. Her stories center people who love hard, survive harder, make mistakes, carry secrets, protect the people they call family, and sometimes discover that the people closest to them can cause the deepest damage.


Writing the Streets Without Cleaning Them Up


The world of Geri James isn’t meant to be polished.

The dialogue sounds like the people speaking it. Every character has a voice of their own. The relationships are complicated. The consequences are real. And the streets aren’t simply a backdrop—they shape the choices the characters make and the people they become.

The goal is to put readers inside the story instead of safely outside looking in.


Characters Come First


At the center of every Geri James story are the characters.

They are flawed. They are loyal. They can be reckless, loving, calculating, protective, funny, dangerous, vulnerable—and sometimes all of those things at once.

Those contradictions matter because real people have contradictions.

Geri James writes characters readers can argue with, root for, get mad at, fall in love with, and occasionally want to reach through the damn page and shake.


The I GOT YOU Trilogy


The first world introduced under Geri James is the I GOT YOU trilogy, beginning with I GOT YOU: Blood and Promises.

Book One introduces Nina and a world where survival starts early. Nina learns quickly that the streets operate by their own rules and that trust has to be earned. Family, loyalty, money, love, and survival become tangled together as she grows into a woman determined to protect what belongs to her.

But every promise carries weight.

And sometimes the greatest threat isn’t the enemy standing in front of you—it’s the betrayal you never saw coming.

The trilogy continues with Book Two: I GOT YOU: Love, Lies and Loyalty, followed by Book Three, whose title will be revealed later.

Each book pushes Nina’s story further while revealing that decisions made years earlier can carry consequences long after everyone thinks the past is buried.


Blood and Promises Is Only the Beginning


I GOT YOU: Blood and Promises is officially available now in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.

But Nina’s story is nowhere near finished.

Book Two, Love, Lies and Loyalty, takes the story deeper into the relationships, secrets, suspicions, and betrayals surrounding her. And Book Three will complete the trilogy when Nina’s full journey is finally ready to be told.

Beyond I GOT YOU, more Geri James fiction is already waiting in the wings.

Different characters. Different worlds. Same promise:

Stories with teeth.
