Six months after Tony Brewster's federal arrest, Khareem Denton is building something different. Legitimate work. Legal money. A relationship with Shyann forged carefully from the wreckage of everything that came before. The operation is winding down. The worst is behind them. Then a supplemental federal disclosure surfaces with Ace's name in it - characterized not as a street-level operator but as the architect of everything Tony built.
The source is someone Ace trusted, someone who had been cooperating for nearly two years. And the file isn't closed. It's waiting. At the same time, what remains of Delgado's network has traced the anonymous intelligence file that helped bring the operation down. They want a conversation. Ace can't have the conversation without crossing a line. He can't ignore it without inviting something worse. While Tony runs plays from inside a federal facility and Dre faces the decision he's been postponing, Ace navigates a shrinking board with the woman he loves beside him - a woman who demands the whole truth, not the managed version of it.
Broken Loyalty is the story of what happens when you've done everything right and it still might not be enough. When the past reaches into the present not through violence but through paperwork, precedent, and the specific betrayal of someone who covered himself on all sides. Some debts don't disappear. They just find a different form. BROKEN LOYALTY is Book Two of The Loyalty Series by Ravyn Crowe.
