His Pretty Little Burden

A Dark Mafia, Age Gap Romance (Kids of The District Book 4)

#1 Bestseller in Women’s Crime Fiction.

#1 Bestseller in Organised Crime.

A little deer walks into the wolf’s den.

I want answers.

I know nothing of love, family, or stability, having been raised in the foster system and spat out at eighteen, pregnant, and with no memory of how that came to be.

I try to find my estranged father, a man rumoured to be in the Mafia, hopeful he will use his influence to discover what really happened the night someone took my innocence.

But I don’t find my father. I walk straight into the den of his associate, the Don of the Cosa Nostra.

Clay Butcher.

He is a cold, calculated killer. An emotional island in a perfectly tailored suit.

He orders me to stay in his mansion and wait for my father to return. But living with Clay Butcher stirs feelings deep inside of me. Starved of attention all my life, I find his possessive gaze intoxicating. His rules ground me, his discipline holds me accountable, and his praise sets my skin ablaze.

But he is a liar.

What I don’t know is that he plots to use me. I am not just the daughter of his colleague, but a girl with a powerful heir in her belly.

The heir to part of Clay Butcher's legacy..

Author notes: His Pretty Little Burden is part of The Kids of The District series but can be enjoyed without the previous books, although it follows a greater narrative and is the first book in a duet. It features a powerful Mafia Don and his endearing tortured heroine. His Pretty Little Burden has an age gap dynamic that some people may find uncomfortable. It is an epic romance story, with spice, and dark themes.

wow just wow

The voice actors where amazing. the story was amazing. I could not get enough of it.

This one. THIS book I loved, Instant favorite

I don’t know where to start. Each book, somehow, is better than the last. I gobbled this book up SO FAST, I don’t know what hit me.
This story followed Clay and Fawn. Two very different people on the surface but fighting some of the same demons on the inside. Nicci Harris is a MASTER at making things/people/situations go together that you’d never believe could go together seem like it’s an everyday thing.
We finally get more on the head of the Butcher family, the one almost a decade older than his brothers, who felt he let them down and didn’t know how to be closer to them. If he truly fit in. Broke my heart all he does to keep them safe with a sense of safety to boot. He CAN’T unwind, let his guard down, stop thinking 2 steps ahead because there is ALWAYS someone waiting in the wings to take him or his family out. He has to have iron control. His marriage of convenience is also business he is surrounded by his army, where he’s comfortable and rarely his family.
In comes Fawn. Oh Fawn. One of THE TOP FIVE heroines of all time for me. Not because she’s a bad arse fighter, a bombshell, a brainiac, a bäll buster or a push over. Nope, it’s her heart and resilience my oh MY her resilience. I felt her to my bones. I saw so much of me in her at times it was scary. My heart still hurts right now as I write. The tears haven’t gone long from my face and ready to make a reappearance as I remember what this girl is gone through. The TRIGGER WARNINGS ARE REAL. Maybe the realist I’ve seen so far. Please do NOT take them lightly. I’ve never experienced what she experiences in this book and it still ripped my heart out. I bawled and bawled and had to take an hour break. 😮‍💨☹️Rhia gutted me.
These two come together and slowly help each other open up and realize they need more, can BE more and the story takes off from there. Again, I WILL be buying the physical book series I love it that much.
Of course I listened and read / I even went as far as using my AirPods in between sitting down to read and driving my car it was so good! Shane East and Sofia Lette both did amazing of course. Those Australian accents gave the story that much more umph.
All in all, a book that will stick with me forever. Period. I’m praying their 2nd book is just as good so heading there now to start…even though it’s already past my bedtime. 😬😂🤣🥳

Perfect Narration

I absolutly loved the narration and the storyline. Its not for everyone definitly check your trigger warnings.

Very HOT with Riveting Storytelling!

The level of creativity in character creation, world building & deft writing is rare. Could not put it down!

Shane East is Perfection!!!

Story was very angsty, so many emotions. Trigger warnings aplenty. I don’t think I would have enjoyed the story nearly as much without Shane East narrating. He just does such an excellent job with the full human range of emotions; he is absolutely captivating. Sofia Lette did a great job as well, particularly during the more emotional parts of the story. She really cut my guts out during a few parts!! Eager to go back and listen to the beginning of the series.
