Hammer Freeman was raised to be a monster by his father. He became familiar with loss, violence, and death far younger than any child should. When tragedy hits, Hammer and his brother decide to leave the streets and the family business for good. He had no idea a decision made by his father decades earlier would potentially cost him the love of his life. Merci’s lack of a desire to date after being betrayed isn’t the only obstacle Hammer faces. He also has to deal with the fact that her father assassinated his father too.
Calling this a forbidden love story suggests Hammer is willing to stay away from the woman he’s sure belongs to him… but that simply won’t be the case.
