Thick in the Trenches

By Bernadette Lewis

In a city where power hides behind luxury, loyalty can get you killed.

Treasure Jones built her beauty empire from the ground up-one sacrifice, one heartbreak, and one prayer at a time. Curvy, confident, and determined to leave survival mode behind, she's finally created a life that feels safe... until a deadly secret tied to her salon drags her straight into a war she never asked for.

Jashun Giles was once one of the most feared men in the streets. Dangerous, emotionally guarded, and haunted by the blood on his hands, he disappeared years ago to protect the woman he never stopped loving. But when corruption, trafficking, and buried government secrets begin unraveling across the city, Jashun is forced back into Treasure's life-and back into the trenches he fought to escape.

Now hunted by criminals, watched by corrupt federal agents, and carrying evidence powerful enough to destroy empires, Nyla and Malik must decide if love can survive the weight of betrayal, violence, and truth.

But in a world where women are silenced, softness is mistaken for weakness, and loyalty comes with a body count...
Survival isn't enough anymore.

Explosive, emotional, and unapologetically raw, Thick in the Trenches is a luxury urban-fiction thriller about dangerous love, public healing, and what happens when a woman stops surviving quietly-and starts fighting back out loud.
