After being abducted at the age of 3 and held for 6 years by a man she considered family, Mercedes life changed forever. Now at the age of 23, she'd finally gotten her life on track and started to enjoy the good things in life. The success, the money, the right kind of love from friends, and "happiness". All the things except for love. 

In dealing with being abducted and painful past relationships, Mercedes found it hard to trust or let herself get to close to another man. Especially after she was almost killed while in her last relationship.

When she crosses paths with 33 year old Hendrix Wilburn, she finds herself battling with herself and her emotions when it comes to dealing with a man like him. A man who shares a painful past just like her and someone who's struggling to deal with the things he have yet to confront.

Will Mercedes be happy in the end or will she regret Taking a Chance.

⚠WARNING: VERY CRINGE AND MESSY, MAJOR PLOTHOLES, I STARTED IT LIKE TWO YEARS AGO. ⚠ . Rose Woods has been with her foster father Jordan Lukes ever since she was 9. Ever since her brothers abandoned her because of someone else, she had built a wall against others, barring her from showing her emotions. Staying in the foster care system for 2 years after her mother's death, she learned how to mask her emotions and be ruthless. That mask crumbled when Jordan adopted her and started starving and abusing her. But she still faced the walls outside of that house with a cold facade. But when he dies due to drunk driving and she has to go back to her brothers who abandoned her, what will she do? Will she make her walls more stronger for them? Or will she let them break in? What will she do when her past begins to catch up with her? How will her brothers react when they find out she's in the Mafia? So many questions. And various answers. Which one will it be? ⚠TRIGGER WARNING⚠ ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●□ Hey! This is just a little bit different version of "It Hurts" that is on my other account @deeply_in_thought20.

Mercedes Kingsley is beautiful, spoiled, and one with a few different sides. Her best side? She has a huge and kind heart that she uses to put others first. She's adventurous, loves to have fun, and loves doing things her family hates. The one thing she does that her family hates? She has a love for helping the homeless. Mercedes's bad side is one you don't want to see. She hates being disrespected, hates being crossed, and if you piss her off, she isn't afraid to let that be known. Elon Kingsley, Mercedes's grandfather, is a billionaire with a multi-billionaire empire. He is very close to his granddaughter, and when he upset her, she wanted to hurt him, and with a friend, she took off to Antigua, letting only her employees know where she had run off to. While Mercedes and her friend, Alona, are vacationing, they meet men who make their time in Antigua much more fun. Alona fell in love with her guy, whereas Mercedes is skittish about the guy she meets. She loves everything about him. He's dreamy, sexy, has a nice body, and she loves his cocky talk and sense of humor. But the one thing she couldn't help but notice was that he looked awfully familiar to her. She never could place it, but the more they hung out, the more she took a liking to him until he mentioned wanting to further their relationship once they got back to the states. The problem? There was another man back home that she secretly held feelings for-a homeless man. A man she knew would never pass her families approval. But would the other man she met win her family's approval? After her grandfather passes away, she upsets many people for reasons that were out of her control then bad things started happening with all the hotels. She wasn't sure if it was a coincidence, her brother, Bentley, or the Bradley family that was causing all the problems. Mainly her grandfather's archenemy, Sterling Bradley, who had been trying to buy him out for years. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/vikncharlie
