Book Description
“You can bury it in the soil of a broken heart. Hide it behind a smile. Ignore it in the experience of life. But make no mistake: True love never dies.” Kelsey Mackenzie has spent the last five years of her life trying to rebuild her life in a new place, yet one phone call changes the direction of her life. Quill’s hospitalization does more than bring her back to New York; the familial facades she was surrounded by for the week of her birthday come crashing done one after another, disrupting Kelsey's imagined bliss. However, one piece of news effecting the first man she's ever loved—her father, the infamous Urban Mackenzie—is exposed to the world, and Kelsey has to step in to protect him in the only way she knows how. Every move of Urban's that she's questioned has become her blueprint, manifesting a destiny she never imagined for herself. Shedding old friends and supposed loves is easy, but no matter the circumstances, her heart is drawn to Quill. After fighting temptation, Kelsey considers giving in to her desires for Quill, but the game wants to claim him at all costs. With his life hanging between two dangerous underworlds, Quill navigates each one with kid gloves. The demanding Amos Winthrop wants to own Brooklyn the way he does his native North Carolina, and the cool-headed Eugenio Veracruz makes nursery rhymed threats to ensure that his territory is ran well by the young drug lord. Tainted loyalty on both ends forces Quill to reevaluate his exit plan, and when he discovers the ultimate betrayal made by someone he once trusted with his life, the only choice he’s left with is to sever ties with everyone. Literally. When an unexpected ally gives Quill the literal keys to his freedom, he spirals down another rabbit hole, except this time he isn't alone. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Quill plays for keeps this time around, with the winning hand being the piece of Brooklyn he's always dreamed of owning, and the losing hand means having his entire life snatched from him, including Kelsey. In this second installment of the Adored By a Brooklyn Drug Lord series, the enemies of Kelsey and Quill are closer than they appear, each working with their own set of motives that will ultimately push the pair apart. However, it is their love for one another that challenges the game Kelsey stands to inherit and Quill attempts to secure a place in, creating a battle for Brooklyn like no other.
