Heartbreak & Handcuffs: A Hood Love Story About Loyalty, Loss, and Loving a Man Behind Bars

Rate this book
She was just a teenager when she fell for him — a quiet street king with something to prove. Maya wasn’t looking for love, but Dre pulled her in deep. Fast money, skipped classes, stolen kisses in the dark… until one night changed everything.



Now he’s locked up for a crime he swears he didn’t commit. Maya’s left raising their daughter alone, fighting to keep her head up while Dre fights to come home.



But the streets don’t let go easy.



Enemies resurface. Secrets get exposed. And loyalty gets tested when love ain’t enough.



Heartbreak & Handcuffs is a raw, emotional urban love story about riding for someone when the world says walk away. Perfect for fans of gritty romance, messy Facebook drama, and that unbreakable hood bond between a woman and her first love.

82 pages, Kindle Edition

REALLY tried to give this author a chance. I read the author profile, but all these books sound like a teenager wrote them. EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK is about some childish Facebook drama! EVERY SINGLE ONE!!! Like she has NOTHING else going on upstairs. The books were free to read but now I’m mad and I feel like I should be compensated for all the time I lost reading this crap!
