Heart of a Thug: A Hood Love Story - Paperback

by Tallah J (Author)

A Harlem Kingpin meets a Struggling, Single mother. Hood Love is in the air.

Life in Harlem has never been easy for Kayla "Kiki" Hayes. Getting pregnant right as she was graduating high school didn't make things any easier. Life wouldn't be so bad if she had a loving man to come home to after working her minimum-wage job. Her baby daddy is a lot of things. But loving ain't one of them. For years, she's felt neglected and unloved. She wants to be free. More than anything she wants to be the caring, loving mother that she never had. Just when she thinks she can't take anymore, a notorious Harlem Kingpin sweeps her off her feet and makes her experience things that she never would've imagined possible.

Markell "the Snowman" Etienne is a Harlem Kingpin. He comes from a notorious, organized crime family. He's got everything a sexy, street dude could wish for. Cars, clothes, condos, bankrolls, and baddies. But trouble is on the horizon. The Feds are closing in. His family's criminal past has finally caught up with them. When his District Attorney ex-girlfriend double-crosses him, Markell prepares to go on the warpath. But before he begins dropping bodies, he meets a struggling, love-deprived single mother. She's a lot different from the bougie baddies that he's used to dating. But he soon realizes that she might be exactly what he needs in his life.
