His Savage was Her Weakness 2 picks up with Nubia fighting for her life after Vincent desperately tries to regain control over her. Broken, bruised, and tired of the abuse, Nubia makes a conscious decision to choose herself over Vincent. Part of this choice means leaving behind the security he once provided and paving her own way. She knows the path won’t be easy, but after receiving life-changing news, Nubia has to do whatever it takes to be successful in her future endeavors, even if it means stepping into the very game that claimed her parents’ lives. No matter how many lows and highs she experiences, there's always one consistent person in her life: Maine, who saves her even when she doesn’t want to save herself. With his status on the streets upgraded and his eyes on being the next distributor of New York City, Maine finds little time to spend protecting a troubled Nubia, but does what he can. His player ways have caught up with him, forcing him into a relationship with the spoiled Estalita. While the pairing to the pampered princess might not be part of his dreams, the keys to the kingdom that she holds make the relationship worth it. No matter how much pressure being the new face of the Solares Cartel holds, Maine still finds time to entertain his hoes. Like the unlimited supply of money and pushing the toughest whips, the women in his life fill a void. That is until Nubia comes hurtling back into his life as abruptly as she left. He's ready to act on his feelings when he discovers that one of the most memorable nights of his life is overshadowed by one of the worst days of Nubia's. With Sampson in possession of her heart while Donovan still maintains her loyalty, Shahani struggles to balance the new man in her life that wants to give her the world, while still holding down the one that saved her from pole. Shahani runs to Donovan when faced with ugly truths from Sampson and finds solace in Sampson's arms when Donovan's heartless ways wear her thin. As she battles with her choice, the decision is finally made for her with catastrophic consequences: bonds are broken, the truth had done more damage than even the sweetest lies, and now Shahani must pick up the pieces of her life and build it back up by herself. Success is eventually achieved for Shahani, but it comes with a cost: making the same mistakes, just with a new face. As friends become enemies, two star-crossed lovers become one, and snakes lie in wait for the perfect moment to strike, Nubia has to ask herself if she's ready to face her monster of a husband, Shahani has to decide between her dreams and her sanity, and Maine? He has to figure out how to protect Nubia from the same streets he's pledged his loyalty to.

Some wounds never heal, and for Jonessy Price, the reemergence of her mother is a unscabbing scar, rejecting time’s insistence that it heals. Though she can woo Mali with old memories and acting as the mother Persia has always desired, Jonessy isn’t moved by Willona Price. However, she has no choice but to rearrange her life for the Price Matriarch. As if dealing with her mother isn’t troublesome enough, Jonessy struggles to become whole after a piece of her was taken away abruptly. She throws herself into taking care of everyone, neglecting herself. The one place she finds solace is in her artwork. Although slow, her healing begins, and just as she makes strides they come to a halt at the possibility that the person responsible for shattering her world is alive, flittering in and out of her life in an unexpected way. Jonessy’s best friend Envy has gone from writing the book baes of her dreams to sleeping with a nameless, faceless one referred to as “Stranger.” What she doesn’t know is that he’s the catalyst for past and future events. Casanova Wilde’s identity has revolved not around his money, the harem of women he once entertained, or even the respect he garners on the street. Without the use of his legs he struggles with being a man, specifically being the man he promised Jonessy Price he would be. No longer the source of affection for most and a threat to the rest, Nova navigates life searching for his purpose, only to find his condition hasn’t changed his circumstances; he has. Refusing to stand in his own way, Casanova Wilde works on returning to full form, which he realizes doesn’t mean reverting to his old ways, simply amplifying the same heartless thug Jonessy fell in love with. As Nova goes on a journey to match his mental and physical, Blanc discovers the detriment to keeping the world on his shoulders. Chaos unfolds as Casablanca Wilde searches for Leon Price’s killers, leaving a path of chaos and destruction. In the midst of it, Blanc learns the cost of being the hero when his loved ones are placed in the line of fire due to his careless mistakes. With no one to turn to, an unlikely ally teams up with the coldest Wilde Brother to complete a story of sex, money, and murder. At the center of the impending war between the Wilde and Hines Brothers is Mali Price, who pays for her sins at every turn. Walking the tight rope between doing the right thing and remaining complacent for the sake of acceptance, Mali has her own traumas to unpack, especially when they threaten the very people who have kept her head above water whenever she was drowning. Will she risk everything to absolve herself of her previous transgressions? Or is it too little, too late?

Normani Pope has always dreamed of the day she would be able to live a life out of an Urban Fiction novel. An endless bankroll, access to the latest designer clothes, and the envy of every chick on the block are all part of her fantasies when she meets Ward, an up and coming dope boy. When Ward stakes a claim to the beautiful Normani, she accepts without hesitation, a decision she makes without considering the consequences that comes with dating a dope boy. The lifestyle Ward provides is as lavish as Normani expects, but she soon pays the price for being a thug’s solace when she’s the victim of a botched murder-suicide. Unable to return home, Normani is sent to live with her estranged aunt in Brooklyn. It is there that Normani lays eyes on a shiny red Lamborghini with no idea that its owner was going to change her life for better and worse. Uriah “Urban” Mackenzie has always been held in a high esteem throughout the streets, and not because of his charismatic charm, deep chocolate eyes, and politician’s smile. Urban is the head of “The Trust,” a prestigious crime organization known for running guns, human trafficking, and funneling millions of dollars in cocaine throughout the East Coast. Urban leads The Trust with an iron fist, refusing to allow anyone to one up him lest they deal with his wrath. He has New York City in the palm of his hand, with everyone bending to his will, except a bold and brazen Normani. Love has never been on Urban’s radar—even with a longtime girlfriend on his arm—but Normani’s beautiful eyes and damaged smile pulls him in. Soon Urban finds that he's willing to risk the life and legacy he’s built to see if the grass is truly greener on the other side.

Being the oldest of four, Zeus was not only their older brother, but a father figure after the jailhouse murder of their father nearly fifteen years ago. However, with the Assan Brothers gone for good, Zeus is able to start building the life he sacrificed for the sake of holding his family down. Three years later, he has done exactly that: his position as connect has brought him wealth, he has the woman of his dreams by his side, and for the first time since he was younger, he's happy. Unfortunately for the eldest Townsend Brother, happiness can only be short lived. In a twist of events, Zeus’ blissful existence is ruined by a secret that was supposed to be taken to the grave. Forced to move on without the love of his life, Zeus is convinced that he’ll never love again until he meets the mysterious Quincy Burton. She's the best thing he never knew he needed, yet their connection goes deeper than between the sheets. She's an Assan Sister and while her intentions are pure, her bloodline isn’t. While Zeus focuses on starting over, his brother, Hasani, and sister-in-law, Gia, are newlyweds maneuvering marital problems made for veteran unions. When it comes to remaining faithful to his fiancée, Hasani Townsend has come a long way from the remorseless adulterer he once was. Too bad for him, his history is known to someone who threatens to not only take down his family, but ruin his marriage before it even begins. One drunken night at his bachelor party is the first nail in the coffin of their dying marriage. Two fatal gunshots change the trajectory of their entire relationship, placing a deep crack in an already shaky foundation. Three years of relationship building is destroyed at a discovery made by Hasani, causing him to wonder if he wasn’t the only one sneaking and creeping. However, for all of their marital lows, Hasani and Gia remain connected through their ability to push aside their issues and be the rock each other needs when life gets tough. But with all of their secrets and lies coming out, Hasani has to decide whether he's going to tough it out and remain with the woman he loves, or if it’s best to walk away. Born into the Luchesi Crime Family, Gianna Luchesi was raised with access to guns, money, and power. Instead of relying on her family name to create her legacy, Gia goes to medical school and uses her position as a front for her real job, which is running a lucrative arms business from New York City. While her position as an arms dealer brings her joy, Gia is constantly at odds with Hasani when it comes to her future. Hasani is supportive in every way possible, but aside from his past transgressions, he wants her to play it safe when the life she has chosen for herself is anything but. However, when an enemy targeting the Townsend Brothers places a bullseye on her back, Gia has no choice but to insert herself and everyone bearing her notorious last name into a war for the ages. Gia remains strong on the business side despite her personal life suffering. Her marriage to Hasani has taken several blows over a short amount of time due to enemies who wish to see her suffer, but when Gia discovers that the fatal blow was delivered by someone who was supposed to have her back, Gia has to save her marriage before Hasani throws in the towel. When a Heartless Thug Holds Me Close 4, a true love story, is filled with earth shattering secrets, volatile lies, and a reminder that like ghosts, real grudges never die.

After being left at the alter by his long time girlfriend, Gigi Romano hasn’t been quite the same. He’s vowed to never have his heart broken again and plunges himself into a world of nameless and faceless women. Ten years later, his player ways are still strong, but other areas of his life are growing weak, especially his relationship with his son. Gigi continually promises to change his ways but always finds himself succumbing to his sexual desires, whether it be with the sultry Diana or levelheaded Melissa. However, when Qui returns to New York City, Gigi believes that his first true love will be able to change him for the better—that is until he meets his Mystery Woman.

Fresh out of a divorce, Jade finds herself the eye candy of every woman in New York City except for the one she really wants: her boss, Lia. With the face of a Creole angel, the body of a bombshell, and the vocals to match, it’s no wonder that Lia’s everything Jade could ever want. There’s only one problem—Lia can't stand her.

When she does have a peek, it’s enough to pull her in completely. The problem? Her ex-wife, Brandy. Armed with a poisonous secret and a deadly desire to take back what’s hers, Brandy barrels back into Jade’s life with promises to wreak havoc unless she returns to the place where the pain started. Home. Every love affair comes with a price and Gigi must pay for the actions of his past while Jade suffers for the choices she’ll have to make in the future. There’s no question that either of the Romano children are strong enough to handle it—the question is: in the end is it all worth it?

"After watching my mother be beaten in the name of love, I always dreamed of having my own perfect love story void of pain. One where my very own Prince Charming would sweep me off of my feet. And then I met Quade, who showed me that love should be everything but perfect.” Yara Samuels has experienced her fair share of hurt in life. Growing up in a home ridden with domestic violence, Yara was taught at a young age that if it isn’t painful, then it isn’t love. It takes watching her mother be beaten to death by her stepfather for young Yara to learn that love taps shouldn’t send you to the grave. All grown up, she searches for a man who knows how to love a woman with his heart and not his fists. After years of looking, Yara believes that she finds the embodiment of this philosophy in her boyfriend, Amir, until she discovers that while he may provide physical peace, the mental isn’t there. With her sense of self-worth challenged, Yara is content with loving Amir when Quade comes hurtling into her life. The youngest of the infamous Townsend Brothers, Quade isn’t your run-of-the-mill hustler. A walking oxymoron, Quade has a baby face with a heart bred cold courtesy of the streets.

When his aim leads him straight into the path of Yara while in the midst of a hit, Quade's heart melts and he's drawn to the mysterious Yara, who for some reason unbeknownst to him, can't stand him. Never one to back down from a challenge, Quade pursues Yara with the same recklessness that he handles business, and it makes for the start of a memorable love affair. Beneath her expensive clothing and designer handbags, Yara's best friend, Cashmere, is a woman tired of being kept at the expense of her sanity. While putting on a brave face for the world, Cash hides her frustration with her boyfriend behind her Chanel sunglasses. There's nothing picture perfect about the couple, and with each of Vito’s antics worse than the last, Cash finds herself seeking a backup plan in the event that her days of being a hustler’s princess are cut short. When Cash is greeted with an opportunity to secure the bag, she jumps at it immediately and finds herself on the path to becoming the queenpin that the streets have been begging for. What's standing in her way? Savion Townsend. Cash has got it bad for one of the Townsend Brothers, but between forming her own empire and her complicated relationship with Vito, Cash has to decide if she's willing to risk it all in the name of love.
