Blood and Loyalty - Paperback

by Teama Nicole Herice (Author)

Blood and Loyalty is a gripping, high-stakes urban drama that follows Jazmine, a girl who became a mother at fifteen and was thrown headfirst into the unforgiving streets of Fort Lauderdale. With no safety net and a family that treated her like the black sheep, she learned early that the streets only respect two things - money and power.

By her twenties, Jazmine has carved out a name for herself as a respected player in the game. She's smart, strategic, and deadly when she needs to be - but her real reason for surviving is her son, J.J., now seven years old. Every risk she takes, every dollar she stacks, is for him.

When a brutal cartel war explodes and a betrayal from within her own circle shatters her trust, Jazmine is pushed to the edge. The war turns personal when J.J. is taken, forcing her into a relentless hunt that blurs the line between survival and vengeance.

Fueled by a mother's love and a hustler's mentality, Jazmine moves through a dangerous maze of deceit, violence, and shifting alliances. Old friends resurface, new enemies emerge, and love tempts her with a life beyond the hustle - but in the streets, nothing comes without a cost.

Blood and Loyalty is a raw, emotional ride filled with betrayal, revenge, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. It's about power earned the hard way, love tested in blood, and the kind of loyalty that doesn't break - even when everything else does.
