This Time, Baby

This Time, Baby is a continuation of Roy Glenn’s bestselling Mike Black series. Some might say that Khalil Patterson is living his best life. Kendrick Nance and Jack Dandridge are both dead, and he is now the boss. But he still has what’s left of Kojo's operation, which is being run by Shanice Hardaway, to worry about. Now that he is running things, it’s time to turn his attention and firepower to shutting her down and taking over her market. “And this time, I won’t make the stupid mistake of fuckin’ with Mike Black.” After eliminating Drew Mack, Kevin Franklin, Jackson Hill, and Sienna Petrocelli, Shanice Hardaway—AKA former NYPD officer Veronica Isley—had taken over what is left of Kojo's operation. Now, it is time to grow her business and take it to the next level. “And this time, I won’t be stupid enough to make an enemy of The Family.” Bored with marriage and hating her job at the anchor desk, Carmen Taylor is vacationing in Nassau with Jada West. So, when Jada suggests they take a trip to Spain, Carmen is all in. “And this time, we are not going to get ourselves arrested.”
