Micah and Maila love story.

New Orleans isn't just a city-it's a pulse. A rhythm. A hunger. And nobody knows that better than Arielle Washington, a tired single mother grinding just to make rent in the Desire Projects. Love left her a long time ago, replaced with diaper bags, house keys, and survival. That is, until a new housekeeping job drops her into the home-and world-of ICE the most dangerous man in the streets. ICE doesn't do mess. Doesn't do feelings. But there's something about Ari-her fire, her silence, her scars-that draws him in. And when business gets bloody and loyalties are tested, the line between protector and predator blurs. Because in the Dirty South, nothing comes clean... not even love.

Kurenai thought she had escaped the darkness. Leaving behind the world of crime, she built a new life as an underground DJ by night and a professional hitwoman by necessity-taking out bad men for the secretive organization known as "The Pool." Alongside her best friend Solara, she stayed hidden in the city's shadows. But shadows always hide ghosts. Ka'Jai-known to most as Draco-never forgot the woman who walked away. A kingpin on the rise, he sees everything that happens in the city. And when his targets start falling to an unseen assassin, he finds her. Kurenai, the woman he trained, the woman he loved, and the one who betrayed him. But love and hate are two sides of the same knife. Now, Draco watches her. He tests her. He taunts her. And Kurenai knows he's close-too close. But even as the tension between them burns hotter, they are both trapped in a deadly game of secrets, violence, and desire.

She walks in like the epitome of black girl luxury, but pain follows her. She covers it with bust-down jewelry and white roses. He's quiet, but his presence is loud in itself. Everyone knows him, but she sees right past him. She's confident, but he's more confident. She's fierce, but he makes her cower. Passionate. SADITIFIED.

(BEFORE READING) -book 1 of "A Quiet Girl's Thug" -book 2 of "A Quiet Girl's Thug" -Book 3 of "A Quiet Girl's Thug" This is Book 1 of "Family edition"... but I highly recommend reading from the beginning of the series to understand past relationships/bonds. ...................

Being a Thug's daughter isn't easy, and the two goes through many obstacles as they try to live personal lives.
