Cruel Hearted (The Black Hand #3)

The Black Hand. The syndicate of hardened criminals I planned on destroying.

Things are not what they seem. Someone knows my secret, and it’s not someone I ever expected. He knows my truth, and he understands my need for vengeance—though he’s tried to convince me otherwise.

What he doesn’t understand is if I don’t have justice, I’m nothing. I’m not Shay, not Celene. I’m no one, and I refuse to be no one.

With Slade missing and the Black Hand assembled, it’s time I meet the enigmatic man who took my family’s position: the Cobra. Impossibly strong and ridiculously mysterious, all fingers point to him.

But things are getting complicated. Nothing is what it seems. The feelings I’ve developed for these men are becoming real, and I can’t see myself killing them or walking away. I’m about to face a reckoning of biblical proportions.

One thing’s for certain… this is going to get messy.


**Cruel Hearted is the third book in a planned four-book series. It is an RH/Why Choose novel, meaning multiple love interests. Steamy scenes and violence are contained inside this book, with some themes readers might find… off-putting.** Rated '5/5 - Explicit and plentiful' for steam/spice/heat level.
