London has never been the safest place to live or work, but lately, the violence has reached an all-time high. And that's where the trouble started... When it comes to ink, Layla's the hottest name around. She owns her own tattoo studio where customers wait months for an appointment. She's been fed up with the fighting and crime around the studio for months now, but her brother ran a crew and she knows all too well what that kind of life is like. It's late when Layla locks up her studio one night... She heads to the car park but walks straight into an altercation between two rival gangs. Shots fire and she runs... Only to be pulled to the ground by a shadowy figure. When it comes to the road, no one's name is more feared than Jackson's. After years of running the streets, he's determined to leave that life behind. He's making moves onto more legit things, but although he carries a certain type of name on the road, Layla soon realises that you can't believe everything you hear. Jackson soon consumes her thoughts and makes her insane with need, but his self-control around her is like nothing she's ever known. So although she's desperate for him to touch her, he won't. Until she forces his hand. The trouble in Layla's life quickly intensifies, but now it's not just around her studio, it's up close and personal. She knows she should stay as far away from the cause as possible, but her heart just won't let her. Can two people from completely different walks of life make it? Or will the streets find a way to come between them for good?
Author
Mother. Author. Wellness Blogger. Lover of Music. Believer of Romance. Dirty Minded. LeeSha McCoy is the author of all things African American Romance. She released her first book in 2012 and currently writes African American Urban Romance, Paranormal, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romantic Comedy, and Steamy Contemporary Romance under the pen name Karmen Kane. With over 40 books published to date, representation is important to her, so you will always find positive representations of black men and women in her books, with a focus on family bonds, growth, and above all, strong fiery heroines and the heroes that love the hell out of them for it. Writing novels that make her readers 'feel' is her mission; she does not just write stories to be read, but for her readers to experience. As someone who has lived through many up and downs in her personal life, she uses those experiences in all of her stories, priding herself on the realism in her work, regardless of genre. She began writing in the late 90's, although it was mostly song lyrics she wrote to escape her loneliness. As one of only a handful of bi-racial children living in her small hometown of Banbury, she struggled to make friends and to be accepted, so she spent most of her childhood alone. She currently lives in England, but her family is spread all across the United States, including the states of Baltimore, Colorado, and Texas. As a mother to four beautiful children, she spends her spare time playing Roblox and finding new places to walk with them, helping others discover self-love through her wellness blog, binge reading dirty romances, or watching food review shows on YouTube.
