My City, Her Heart

He ruled the streets. She ruled his heart. Together, they built an empire. In the gritty city of Hartford, survival isn't promised—and love is a risk most men like Dante aren't willing to take. But when he meets Brenda, a single mom with a heart too pure for the chaos he's used to, everything changes. Told from Dante's raw and unapologetic perspective, My City, Her Heart is a passionate, urban love story rooted in struggle, resilience, and redemption. What starts as a dangerous attraction grows into a once-in-a-lifetime love—one that breaks generational curses, builds legacies, and sets a whole new standard for black and brown love. Through betrayal, prison walls, loyalty tests, and whispered doubt, Dante proves that even the most misunderstood men have the power to transform. With Brenda by his side, he reinvents himself—becoming a best-selling author, a motivational speaker, and the man he was always meant to be. This isn't just a love story. It's a movement. It's the story of how a woman's heart saved a city's soul. From co-authors Ty'rek Lockhart & Crystalee Castillo comes a deeply emotional and steamy tale of redemption, healing, and power. For fans of urban romance with real grit and real heart—this one's for you.
