Queen of Hearts - Lions & Love One, #1

Once the ego is broken, the soul's veil of darkness may become a nightmare. Everybody has their own demons to deal with, but for some, the devil may be glaring at them back in the mirror. Mandisa is a clever young woman who comes from a terrible home, riddled with violence, treachery, and cruelty. She tries to repair her damaged image when she and her mother escape from her father's demonic hold, but her mother thinks it may be too late.
Her mentally sick daughter needs help, but be careful what you ask for. You could end up biting off more than you can chew. The universe will provide assistance, but if you lack the guts to honestly face what you see in the mirror, you may be tossed into the lion's den as a lesson to learn how to save yourself. Is it possible to fall in love when cloaked in fear? Mandisa's determination to face her demons is tested as she finds the strength to go out on faith.
However, her crush, Hakim, has a secret that is more terrifying than her father's twisted ambitions. Through the strands of fate, he and his family become linked to Mandisa, if only to prevent her from committing suicide. Queen of Hearts is the first book in Mandisa's journey of healing, sexual liberation, and development, which promises to keep you wondering as everyone's secrets are revealed and possibly making you rethink everything you may be concealing from your own soul.
