Life has been anything but easy for twenty-year-old Nubia Monroe. After witnessing her parents’ execution at her tenth birthday party, Nubia hasn’t been the same. The lavish lifestyle that came with being the daughter of the notorious Apollo Monroe was snatched from under her feet, forcing her to become the foster child her evil aunt never wanted. After years of dealing with her uncle’s hand problem, Nubia goes from a plaything to a punching bag for her husband, Vincent. Believing that Vincent is the best thing to happen in her life since the death of her parents, Nubia suffers in silence until she meets Maine. A notorious hustler by day and ruthless hustler by night, Jermaine “Maine” Emerson is as savage as they come. Born a child soldier in Sierra Leone, Maine was given the opportunity for a new life in America working as a hitta for Sampson, a distributor for the Solares Cartel and an infamous gangsta known for his heartless antics. Maine’s first mission: kill Apollo Monroe’s family, including his daughter. With a heart made of steel, Maine slaughters her family relentlessly, but there is something about ten-year-old Nubia that gives fifteen-year-old Maine pause. He spares her life, and the two never cross paths again until Maine catches Nubia being beaten on the street by her husband. Although he has everything he could ask for—money, cars, and his pick of women—Maine is drawn to the broken Nubia and the mystery she brings. As he tries to repair her broken spirit, he has no idea that he's responsible for it. In the middle of Nubia and Maine's battle of the hearts, is Nubia’s best friend, Shahani. After losing the love of her life in a gunfight, the kept Shahani takes refuge on a pole, rebuilding her life one dance at a time. She meets the suave and charismatic Donovan, who takes her from dancing and introduces her to the world of pimping. While Donovan is focused on building his empire, Shahani has other dreams in mind, one of which is opening her own hair salon. She's content with building with Donovan until a chance encounter with Sampson leaves her sleeping with the enemy. Again.

"They say once a good girl’s gone bad, she's gone forever.” Nubia has been a victim for the past ten years of her life—a victim of circumstance, a victim of domestic violence, and a victim of life in general—but when she defeats Vincent in a battle for her life, she quits being a victim and becomes a warrior. From reclaiming her unknown legacy to being reclaimed by the special man in her life, Nubia blossoms into a woman that doesn’t take shit from anyone. Not from her uncle. Certainly not from her aunt. But if there is one situation that drives her back to her timid ways, it’s the target on the back of her head. Nubia’s luck is starting to run low with each attempt on her life hitting closer to home. Torn between the security of the game and his love for Nubia, Maine finds himself having to choose between either one at any given moment. However, that’s not the only choice Maine is forced to make. Maine promised Sampson that he would kill the little girl from ten years ago when the time was right. What he didn’t expect was to fall in love with her. Wedged between his loyalty to Nubia and Sampson, Maine toes a dangerous line that forces him to protect the love of his live while spurning the hand that once fed him. Can Maine save Nubia from her predetermined fate, or will the bond of his word be broken? With an old flame back from the grave, Shahani finds herself once again torn between the comforting past love she had with Lonzo and the tumultuous relationship she currently shares with Sampson. Shahani finds herself being constantly tugged between the two men at any given time, forcing her to play her cards close for the sake of her heart. Convinced that Sampson is hiding a huge secret from her, Shahani almost succumbs to the elusive Lonzo, only to find out that his reappearance into her life might not have been as innocent as she once thought. Both of the men in her life are out for blood and in the end Shahani must make a choice between backing her new love, staying loyal to an old flame, or choosing herself for once. In the final installment of His Savage was Her Weakness, love battles loyalty, fears are overcome by courage, and open wounds can finally heal. However, if Maine, Nubia, and Shahani can have the happy endings they deserve, they’re going to have to work for it.

His Savage was Her Weakness 2 picks up with Nubia fighting for her life after Vincent desperately tries to regain control over her. Broken, bruised, and tired of the abuse, Nubia makes a conscious decision to choose herself over Vincent. Part of this choice means leaving behind the security he once provided and paving her own way. She knows the path won’t be easy, but after receiving life-changing news, Nubia has to do whatever it takes to be successful in her future endeavors, even if it means stepping into the very game that claimed her parents’ lives. No matter how many lows and highs she experiences, there's always one consistent person in her life: Maine, who saves her even when she doesn’t want to save herself. With his status on the streets upgraded and his eyes on being the next distributor of New York City, Maine finds little time to spend protecting a troubled Nubia, but does what he can. His player ways have caught up with him, forcing him into a relationship with the spoiled Estalita. While the pairing to the pampered princess might not be part of his dreams, the keys to the kingdom that she holds make the relationship worth it. No matter how much pressure being the new face of the Solares Cartel holds, Maine still finds time to entertain his hoes. Like the unlimited supply of money and pushing the toughest whips, the women in his life fill a void. That is until Nubia comes hurtling back into his life as abruptly as she left. He's ready to act on his feelings when he discovers that one of the most memorable nights of his life is overshadowed by one of the worst days of Nubia's. With Sampson in possession of her heart while Donovan still maintains her loyalty, Shahani struggles to balance the new man in her life that wants to give her the world, while still holding down the one that saved her from pole. Shahani runs to Donovan when faced with ugly truths from Sampson and finds solace in Sampson's arms when Donovan's heartless ways wear her thin. As she battles with her choice, the decision is finally made for her with catastrophic consequences: bonds are broken, the truth had done more damage than even the sweetest lies, and now Shahani must pick up the pieces of her life and build it back up by herself. Success is eventually achieved for Shahani, but it comes with a cost: making the same mistakes, just with a new face. As friends become enemies, two star-crossed lovers become one, and snakes lie in wait for the perfect moment to strike, Nubia has to ask herself if she's ready to face her monster of a husband, Shahani has to decide between her dreams and her sanity, and Maine? He has to figure out how to protect Nubia from the same streets he's pledged his loyalty to.

Jonessy Price is high on life. Although the death of her father is tragic, it’s a rebirth for the oldest Price daughter. Jonessy steps into her purpose, with her steps turning into strides as she juggles her relationship with Casanova and moving again after her world has remained still for so long. Just as she's settling into the rhythm of her new life, tragedy strikes, and the lives of both the Wildes and Prices are changed forever. The sturdy bond formed between the two families is shattered by a scorned ex playing a clever hand. With his identity rooted in his command over the streets, Casanova is forced to deal with a rebirth of his own, one that might lead him on a path to self-destruction unless he removes the hate in his heart for the woman he loves. In the end, Jonessy has to decide whether she will fight to keep Casanova in her life or move on. On the other side of this love story is the silent Blanc, who shares a face with his twin brother, but not the double life he's been living. On the other side of town is a piece of Blanc unknown to the rest of the world, hidden from view due to one reckless night. Blanc's vow to remain chaste is one of devotion which he plans to carry out until the end of time. What he doesn’t expect is for the turbulent Mali Price to get under his skin. As beautiful as she is seductive, Mali has eyes for Blanc, but after several rebuffs from the oldest Wilde twin, she takes a chance on the charismatic Maciej Hines. Unbeknownst to her, there's a possibility that Maciej possesses a darker side, one responsible for the death of her father. In the second installment of The Lovin’ He Wants the Thuggin’ She Needs, the strength of the Wilde/Price families are tested by outside forces looking to destroy the bond they’ve created through death. New loves are tested by old enemies, unlikely alliances are formed, and in the end a wildcard appears, making the stakes higher than ever.

From the age of twelve, Jonessy Price has been the backbone of her family, picking up where her mother left off after walking out on her father seventeen years ago. Unlike most of the women her age, Jonessy is burdened with caring for her mentally handicapped sister, Persia, and hustling up law school tuition for the middle Price, Mali, while running Price Funeral Home. Jonessy isn't content with the life she leads, but she sticks to it because she knows her sisters need her. However, one night and four bullets change her entire family’s dynamic. When tragedy strikes, Jonessy is forced to lean on a trio of infamous family friends, the notorious Damage Wilde and his trigger happy twin brothers, Casanova and Casablanca. What starts as a promise to a loyal friend to keep his daughters safe quickly turns into a love story. With an unorthodox takeover story, the Wilde Brothers have reigned over Brooklyn for over a decade. Their reach spans further than the borough, with solidified relationships throughout the city’s underworld that make them a force to deal with in the financial world. At the helm of the operation is Damage, whose mysterious nature is felt more on the streets than he is seen. Casablanca is a moving shadow, content with being the action behind his brothers’ words. A trap ethicist with a trigger finger as lethal as his heart, Casanova Wilde lives up to his surname, commanding the streets with a presence that the reclusive Damage lacks and picking up the role of mouthpiece that Casablanca has rejected. When Damage proposes they take in the Price Sisters after the murder of their father, Casanova is convinced the trio moving in will make for an uncomfortable living situation. His assumption proves to be right; there’s static between him Jonessy from the jump. What he doesn’t bank on is that static turning into the pursuit of the first woman to ever leave a warm impression on his cold heart. In the midst of Casanova and Jonessy’s love affair is an unknown enemy hiding in plain sight. Leon's death acts as not only the end of life as the Price Sisters know it, but the beginning of a war standing to destroy everything the Wilde Brothers have built.

In the days when France was pursuing a vigorous forward policy in Africa, a policy started by General Faidherbe and carried on by subsequent governors, one of the bravest among her pioneer soldiers was Colonel Raoul Le Breton. He was a big, handsome man with a swarthy complexion, coal-black hair and dark, fiery eyes, by nature impetuous and reckless. With a trio of white sergeants and a hundred Senegalese soldiers, he would attempt—and accomplish—things that no man with ten times his following would have attempted. But there came a day when even his luck failed. He left St. Louis, in Senegal, and went upwards to the north-east, intending to pierce the heart of the Sahara. From that expedition, however, he never returned.

Some wounds never heal, and for Jonessy Price, the reemergence of her mother is a unscabbing scar, rejecting time’s insistence that it heals. Though she can woo Mali with old memories and acting as the mother Persia has always desired, Jonessy isn’t moved by Willona Price. However, she has no choice but to rearrange her life for the Price Matriarch. As if dealing with her mother isn’t troublesome enough, Jonessy struggles to become whole after a piece of her was taken away abruptly. She throws herself into taking care of everyone, neglecting herself. The one place she finds solace is in her artwork. Although slow, her healing begins, and just as she makes strides they come to a halt at the possibility that the person responsible for shattering her world is alive, flittering in and out of her life in an unexpected way. Jonessy’s best friend Envy has gone from writing the book baes of her dreams to sleeping with a nameless, faceless one referred to as “Stranger.” What she doesn’t know is that he’s the catalyst for past and future events. Casanova Wilde’s identity has revolved not around his money, the harem of women he once entertained, or even the respect he garners on the street. Without the use of his legs he struggles with being a man, specifically being the man he promised Jonessy Price he would be. No longer the source of affection for most and a threat to the rest, Nova navigates life searching for his purpose, only to find his condition hasn’t changed his circumstances; he has. Refusing to stand in his own way, Casanova Wilde works on returning to full form, which he realizes doesn’t mean reverting to his old ways, simply amplifying the same heartless thug Jonessy fell in love with. As Nova goes on a journey to match his mental and physical, Blanc discovers the detriment to keeping the world on his shoulders. Chaos unfolds as Casablanca Wilde searches for Leon Price’s killers, leaving a path of chaos and destruction. In the midst of it, Blanc learns the cost of being the hero when his loved ones are placed in the line of fire due to his careless mistakes. With no one to turn to, an unlikely ally teams up with the coldest Wilde Brother to complete a story of sex, money, and murder. At the center of the impending war between the Wilde and Hines Brothers is Mali Price, who pays for her sins at every turn. Walking the tight rope between doing the right thing and remaining complacent for the sake of acceptance, Mali has her own traumas to unpack, especially when they threaten the very people who have kept her head above water whenever she was drowning. Will she risk everything to absolve herself of her previous transgressions? Or is it too little, too late?
