Never Should've Loved a Thug

**** THIS IS A COMPLETE NOVEL! NO SEQUEL, NO CLIFF-HANGER! *** When Alex's daughter's father, Q, is murdered in cold blood, Alex is left picking up the shattered pieces of her life. Instead of crumbling like she has in the past, Alex decides to avenge him by getting revenge on Ahab Miller, the infamous club owner. She plans her revenge by any means necessary even if it means exploiting one of her closest friends, Shalaya, a woman with nothing to lose. With not a penny to her name and her rent almost past due, Shalaya Adams is in a situation no single mother wants to find herself in: crashing and burning for the enjoyment of her son's father, Mar, who wants nothing more than to gain custody of their son and whisk him away to another happily ever after that doesn't involve her. Her luck takes a turn for the better when she meets a handsome stranger who's looking for a fresh start. Everything starts to go her way when she gets a strange request from her best friend, Alex, asking her to date Ahab Miller. What Shalaya expects to be climbing into bed with a cold-hearted monster turns into a sensual love affair unlike any other. But what happens when Ahab isn't the monster Alex has made him out to be? Shalaya is forced to make the decision of a lifetime. Will her allegiance remain to Alex or will she turn her loyalties to Ahab and end up between his sheets?
