Forbidden Fruit: A Tale of Revenge and Unexpected Love
Amber Halloway is undeniably stunning, the type of woman some would call “forbidden fruit.” When her father is murdered by the local kingpin’s mob, she decides to use her beauty as her weapon.
Her plan is meticulously crafted:
- Step 1: Infiltrate. With the help of her older brother, Dawg, she gets a job at the biggest strip club in the city to gain the attention of the man responsible for killing her father.
- Step 2: Make him fall in love. Amber just never anticipated that he would be so charming.
- Step 3: Rob him blind and deliver the same fate as he did to her father.
However, falling for the man she’s supposed to hate throws a wrench into her plans. When Dawg sees that his sister is hesitating, he takes matters into his own hands, not caring whose blood he spills.
