When love leaves nineteen-year-old Loyalty Wallace with nothing but a pair of bruised ribs, she finds herself with $500,000 in stolen cash from her boyfriend, Whip, and a target
on her back. She plans to use that money to escape her toxic relationship, but what she doesnât know is the money she stole wasnât his to keep. It was a loan from the Belmonte
family, one of the most dangerous families in the heart of the Big Apple.
Most children are taught not to play with their food, but Nevahn âLourdeâ Belmonte was taught never to play with his money. He comes from a world of trappers and killers
disguised as businessmen, so there are no college savings or 401Kâs, only street money. As the only son of a street god, heâs next in line to inherit the million-dollar family âbusinessâ
until his father throws a wrench in his plans. He must create a legacy, and he will not hand him the keys to the kingdom until he has a wife. With the lifestyle he lives, thereâs no room for monogamy, let alone marriage.
When Loyaltyâs actions land her in Lourdeâs presence, heâs immediately drawn to her fearlessness and beauty. She just may be the girl he needs to get what he wants. When
given the chance, he makes her an offer she canât refuse. Over time, what was supposed to be just a âbusinessâ deal turns into much more than just six zeros scribbled on a check.
In A Ruthle$$ Love Story, she will find out what itâs like to fall in love with a man whose reputation is almost as ruthless as his smile, and he will learn what it means to love someone unconditionally.
