About this listen
Markell did the unthinkable. There's no turning back now. Every local, state, and federal official in New York is after him.
There's nowhere to run or hide. But that doesn't mean he's going to give up. He can't do that. Not until he reunites Kayla with her daughter.
Being in Markell’s world has shown Kayla how different her life could be. But just when she starts to get comfortable, this new sense of peace and tranquility is ripped from her.
It seems like everyone is against her. Especially her baby daddy and his trifling family.
Until she's reunited with her baby girl, she won't be able to sleep or eat. She won't be able to think about anything else.
She can't turn to the police. They're the ones who took her daughter from her in the first place. The only person who can help her is Markell. But he's running for his life...
Will he be able to save her daughter before he’s arrested? Or will her baby daddy and his family get the last laugh?
Heart of a Thug 3 is a fast-paced, African American Romance that will dig into your soul, curl your toes, and make you tingle all over... Enjoy!

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
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.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

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.

…sigh
This book is wearing on my nerves. I’m trying to stick with it but the storyline is dwindling. When this one first started there was no distinguishing that it was a foreshadow then remembering what happened in the last book and combining the events from this one makes the foreshadowing even more of a non-factor. I’m trying to stick with a solid three but if the last two books don’t do better it’s gonna go down more.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
