Collateral Heart

By: Charity Shané

Narrated by: Ebony Ford, Morris Kellswater

Xai Watts will do anything for his brother, anything. He’s been raising him since he was fourteen. The streets provided the means until Xai left them behind and opened his own business.

Years have passed, but things haven’t changed. Because of love and guilt, Xai is still protecting and helping his brother. But after one fateful, late night, anything feels like a debt too steep to pay.

Adora Mitchell will do anything for her daughters. She’s raising them while their father is away doing time. She’s been managing and doing okay but when her foundation is taken away, things change at an alarming, heart-pounding rate.

As usual, she navigating and managing while doing her best to shield her daughters from any heartache. It’s just her and her girls against the world... until a handsome new patient walks into her dental office.

Words spoken while under sedation spark an interest. The interest blossoms into love and everything seems perfect until it isn’t. Doing anything for his brother just might cost Xai everything: his future, his heart, and the fragile peace he found with Adora.
