Beschreibung
Mickey Collins has always thrived on control. From a turbulent childhood marked by betrayal and abandonment, she forged a new life, becoming a woman who commands respect in business and society. Her foundation, Found Voices, is a lifeline for survivors, a way for Mickey to turn her pain into purpose. But even as she stands at the pinnacle of success, the wounds of her past linger, and her determination to silence them makes her vulnerable to the ultimate betrayal.
The glittering façade of her life shatters when the FBI bursts into her fundraiser, arresting her for fraud, identity theft, and money laundering. As she's dragged away in handcuffs, Mickey's world crumbles-and Raul, the man she thought she could trust, vanishes without a trace. Her fight for survival takes her back to her roots, to the streets of Harlem and the father whose criminal empire shaped her understanding of power and loyalty.
Determined to clear her name, Mickey uncovers a trail of deception that leads to Jason Montgomery, a notorious con artist whose many aliases have left a web of destruction across continents. With the help of her childhood love, Booker, and the sharp political mind of Jacob Donovan, her former guardian turned New York's mayor, Mickey plunges into a dangerous game to outmaneuver the man who's stolen her life.
Her pursuit takes her to Havana, where her estranged cousin Bird's connections offer a slim chance of infiltrating Montgomery's stronghold. As Mickey peels back the layers of his operation, she's forced to confront not only the man who betrayed her but also the one who once left her broken: Booker. Their unresolved history complicates the mission, blurring the lines between trust and survival.
In Havana's shadowy underworld, Mickey must navigate shifting alliances, double-crosses, and her own thirst for revenge. As the danger escalates, she realizes that the cost of justice may be higher than she's willing to pay. With everything on the line, Mickey faces a choice: play the game her way, or risk losing everything she's fought to reclaim.
Kitten Heels is a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. With rich characters and a narrative that seamlessly weaves the glamour of high society with the grit of the streets, this is a story about the price of power and the strength it takes to survive-and thrive-against all odds.
