Thorns of Loyalty (Concrete Roses – Book Two)

Darius “D-Roc” Brooks never planned to become a father. He never planned to catch bodies either, but plans don’t mean much when you’re born into war. As Maya moves on and the block starts shifting, Darius finds himself caught between the loyalty that built him and the love that could save him.

When a new crew sets up shop and starts taking corners, Darius is forced to choose between going all in or finally getting out. But the streets don’t hand out retirement plans—and his exit might cost more than he’s willing to pay.
