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 doesnāt know is the money she stole wasnāt 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 āLourdeā 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 401Kās, only street money. As the only son of a street god, heās next in line to inherit the million-dollar family ābusinessā
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, thereās no room for monogamy, let alone marriage.
When Loyaltyās actions land her in Lourdeās presence, heās 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 canāt refuse. Over time, what was supposed to be just a ābusinessā deal turns into much more than just six zeros scribbled on a check.
In A Ruthle$$ Love Story, she will find out what itās 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.
