Heart of the Hustle




When a strong-willed princess of the streets meets her match in a reclusive cartel king, sparks will fly in this gritty, sexy urban romance by acclaimed author end eBook veteran A'zayler.

They inherited ultimate power …
Heir to the infamous DeLuca drug cartel fortune, Angel DeLuca walked away from it all for a normal life—until a wrenching betrayal shattered his belief in anything but saving his family's hard-won legacy. He’s come back to lead the DeLuca empire—no matter the cost. But his most dangerous rival is the one woman whose fierce determination he can't resist …
 
How far will they go to keep it? 
Emilia East grew up in the game—virtually a daughter to Angel's mother. In fact, she’s been the one enforcing the cartel rules and expanding the business, so she’s not about to step aside for someone who threw everything away. But when two rival cartels put a target on her back, going on the run with Angel is her only chance to survive. And his unexpected strength—and concealed passion—sparks a love Emilia can't get enough of. Now they have one last shot to save their empire … and themselves.

Praise for Passion of the Streets

"In this sweltering urban romance, veteran e-book author A'zayler hits print and weaves a web of dramatic secrets and surprise twists that will attract fans of Deja King and Sister Souljah."--Booklist

"A'zayler creates a totally sizzling read with her seductive novel about star-crossed lovers. Think Romeo and Juliet meets Jason's Lyric. The novel is well-written, fast-paced, and packed full of action. The author gives us two characters--who meet by chance and who shouldn't be together--and convinces us completely that love overcomes all odds and opposition. Plus, having a killer on their tail certainly adds to the drama!"--RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

"Passion is a hood love story for the ages."--Tyrone Bentley, author of Pearl Tongue

"Passion of the Streets was an explosive read."--Kiki Swinson
