Apricot by Natisha Raynor

Apricot Jennings grew up privileged, but the privilege came with a price. Her father was powerul. He was merciless and the life he lived came with bloodshed, murder, and mayhem. When she was old enough to do so, Apricot made the decision to distance herself from Devin Jennings and his criminal organization. Apricot soon learns that her father would go to crazy lengths to keep her close, and it makes her even more standoffish. When the unthinkable occurs, the person that provides Apricot comfort is a man that most women covet. But Uno Sparks is the younger, slightly wiser version of Devin, and Apricot wants to utilize her common sense and run, but the attraction is undeniable….

Uno Sparks keeps his head down and out of the way. He’s been working under Devin Jennings since he was a teen, and he’s finally ready to take a higher spot on the totem pole. When tragedy strikes, Uno is thrown into a position of power sooner than expected. It’s not one that he asked for but one he doesn’t know if he can walk away from. Choices have to be made and lines may have to be crossed.
