About this listen
The walls are closing in on Markell. He doesn't know who to trust. Or which direction to turn. But he's certain about one thing: He's got to make things right for Kayla and her baby girl.
Assistant District Attorney Amber Barton will do everything in her power to bring down Markell, even if it means breaking the law.
Kayla and her daughter are innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire of a battle that has nothing to do with them. But it's too late. They're already in too deep.
Assistant D.A. Barton threatens to take Kayla’s daughter away from her. Her only option to retain custody of her child is to participate in a dangerous, undercover investigation.
She will have to betray Markell, the only person who’s actually willing to help her. The man who’s made her feel things that she’s never felt before.
Heart of a Thug 2 is a fast-paced, African American Romance that will dig into your soul, curl your toes, and make you tingle all over... Enjoy!

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Ok this book is starting to get dumber and dumber the more I get into it. When it starts to pick up it ends and yes, we are still using virtual voice. Anyway, I’m still invested in the story and want to see it through so on to the next one.
