Thug of Spades - Corey Robinson

Kiara Taylor had her eyes set on hood boss Daymion Myers, and with her womanly curves and grown up ways, he never would have guessed that she was only fifteen years old. When he finds out he ends things quickly, not knowing that he had already planted a seed and would be faced with a hard decision, one that could change the course of his life forever. 

Dreighton Myers had been dealt a bad hand from birth. He knew that his mother hated him and he would do anything to get in her good graces, including manning up and becoming a product of the streets. However, the path he chooses is one that his father would have never allowed, but his father is in no position to guide him and keep him from going astray.

Will he be able to stand on his own two feet and hold it down or will the corners crumble beneath him and knock him down? Could the deck stacked against him be reshuffled and deal him something better? Or will the dealer stack it in his own favor and overcut the ... Thug of Spades?
