About this listen
Lace Bennett is a fierce, independent woman juggling her responsibilities as the owner of a thriving salon and the matriarch to her seventeen-year-old brother, Amari. Living in the heart of Atlanta’s bustling streets, she’s no stranger to navigating chaos, but when Amari makes a dangerous misstep by stashing drugs in her shop for a local kingpin, her world begins to unravel.
King Mercer, a reformed street legend turned businessman, has always been a steady presence in Lace’s life. Though their relationship is complicated, his unwavering loyalty makes him someone she can always count on. But when King’s past resurfaces in the form of a trip to Colombia—and the mysterious and beautiful Catalina—Lace is forced to confront her insecurities and question his loyalty.
Meanwhile, Amari struggles to step into manhood, balancing the pressure of high school basketball scholarships with the weight of unexpected fatherhood. His missteps lead him into the crosshairs of powerful enemies, putting not just himself but his sister in grave danger.
As tensions rise, Lace finds herself in a dangerous game of survival and trust. Between her budding but fragile relationship with King, Catalina’s interference, and threats from a world she thought she’d left behind, Lace must navigate betrayal, family, and love while keeping her shop—and her life—from falling apart.
“Loyalty in the Trenches” is a gripping tale of ambition, love, and survival set in the gritty streets of Atlanta, where trust is fragile, danger is ever-present, and loyalty comes with a price.
