GRATEFUL FOR A THUG

Amira Hollis thought the holidays couldn’t get any worse. Her boyfriend ghosted her, her parents jetted off to St. Barts, and she’s left with nothing but silence and catered leftovers. That is, until her loud, ride-or-die best friend LaTara drags her to Thanksgiving with her family.

That’s where she meets him.

Kingsley “King” Marshall is nothing like the polished men Amira grew up around. He’s dangerous, magnetic, and unapologetically hood…Timbs, chain, grill, and all. His name carries weight in the streets, but when his eyes lock on Amira, all he sees is the one woman who makes him crave something real.

​

They come from two different worlds. She’s bougie. He’s gritty. But sparks don’t care about class lines. And when one unexpected night shows Amira just how much power King holds in the city, and in her heart, she has to decide if she’s ready to risk it all for a man she was never supposed to want.

​

This Thanksgiving, Amira will learn that sometimes the things you’re most grateful for are the ones you never saw coming.
