Good Deeds II: Karma – You get what you give
Author’s Note: This is clearly a fan fiction from the original movie Good Deeds. No, I’m not tryng to be the next Tyler “Emitt” Perry Jr. I just couldn’t help “enticed” by Walter’s unfinished story and what happens when Karma comes back to bite you!
Synopsis: The story starts a year later where Walter is trying to get his life in order. Determined not to let anything come between him – drugs or women – every day is a challenge to stay focus on business and not succumb to any addictions or distractions. Yet, all the backstabbing he has done to his brother, could possibly come back and destroy him… unfortunately it’s right on the brink of getting possession of the one thing he wants in his life… his father’s company
To see when this story starts, fan me on wattpad.com or make a comment there and i’ll post when the story starts.
‘We do not mix our cultures, Malachi,’ his harsh father’s words said to him several times while growing up. ‘They are mutts with no morals or values! Groveling for our scrapes and scraping by on fat backs and garbage.’
And Malachi Hassem never questioned this, plus curiosity killed the cat…
Too bad King Heart will make satisfaction bring it back.
Enjoy one man’s journey into the forbidden with a chocolate beauty that cannot deny him.

I have read all of your books except for Stealing Innocence II The Ravishment. And still haven’t figure out what the feud between the Hearts of Detriot and the Heats of Chicago.

What will happen with Mark and his “secret” society that he has joined besides the KKK? Will he get out of it by paying off his debt? What is going to happen with Colin and Syn? Please finish the book.
