How does a wealthy Black football star get involved with a poor Chinese cleaning woman, an Asian street gang, a drug trafficking ring, and a billionaire politician? Read this slow burn, abused woman, protective hero romance to find out!
As one of the NFL’s top stars, Mack Grenke enjoys wild parties, gourmet cooking, and steam-filled nights with his talented “lady friends.” He’s buried painful memories of growing up in a poor Black neighborhood, running with a gang, and scraping by. His exciting new life suits him perfectly.
When he returns to Portland during the league’s offseason, Mack finds an exquisite ring in his luxurious penthouse suite. According to the concierge, the ring belongs to a cleaning woman named Lily Chen. Wondering if Lily Chen could be as pretty as her ring, Mack decides to personally return it.
Mack is no stranger to beautiful women, but Lily Chen’s face is captivating–except for an ugly purple bruise on her left cheekbone. Someone has hit her, and Mack figures the bastard will do it again. He quickly makes an offer to keep Lily safe, but she refuses his help.
Weeks later, when Lily suffers another vicious assault in her run-down apartment in the Jade District, she calls the only man who’s ever offered to protect her. Mack’s efforts lead to perilous consequences, especially after he exposes a Chinese gang’s involvement in a massive drug trafficking operation. One of the traffickers is Lily’s brother, who has nefarious plans of his own. Can Mack single-handedly save the woman he loves and keep the life he’s worked so hard for?
Perilous Love is Book 4 of the Larson Family Saga and a sequel to Book 3, Unexpected Love, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone. Recommended for ages 18+ due to adult content and language.
