Publisher's summary

#1 Bestseller in Women’s Crime Fiction.

#1 Bestseller in Organised Crime.

A little deer walks into the wolf’s den.

I want answers.

I know nothing of love, family, or stability, having been raised in the foster system and spat out at eighteen, pregnant, and with no memory of how that came to be.

I try to find my estranged father, a man rumoured to be in the Mafia, hopeful he will use his influence to discover what really happened the night someone took my innocence.

But I don’t find my father. I walk straight into the den of his associate, the Don of the Cosa Nostra.

Clay Butcher.

He is a cold, calculated killer. An emotional island in a perfectly tailored suit.

He orders me to stay in his mansion and wait for my father to return. But living with Clay Butcher stirs feelings deep inside of me. Starved of attention all my life, I find his possessive gaze intoxicating. His rules ground me, his discipline holds me accountable, and his praise sets my skin ablaze.

But he is a liar.

What I don’t know is that he plots to use me. I am not just the daughter of his colleague, but a girl with a powerful heir in her belly.

The heir to part of Clay Butcher's legacy..

Author notes: His Pretty Little Burden is part of The Kids of The District series but can be enjoyed without the previous books, although it follows a greater narrative and is the first book in a duet. It features a powerful Mafia Don and his endearing tortured heroine. His Pretty Little Burden has an age gap dynamic that some people may find uncomfortable. It is an epic romance story, with spice, and dark themes.

Loved it!!

I love this book and have downloaded the second book and can’t wait to get started listening to it. I can see where it can trigger some people but I felt that everything in this book was put there so that you would know what Fawn had gone through. I thought this book was well written narration was perfect. Who doesn’t love Shane East I think his voice is so sexy. Not only am I looking forward to the second book but I’m looking forward to reading the whole series now.

Perfection

Storyline- PERFECT
Narrators- PERFECT

There are no other words that adequately express how perfect this title is.

Almost Perfect!!!

I can listen to almost anything Shane East, his narrating is always as smooth and sexy as butter. Sophia Lette was new to me, but I am now a fan. I’m so happy Shane led me to Nicci Harris, she is now on my favorite author list! The three made magic in this mafia romance. Great character development, what an alpha male. Believable story that you can root for, even with the taboo of the age difference (though I would have preferred less if the “Sir” reference. Spicy chemistry, and intimate scenes I could not do but felt the realness of the moment. I couldn’t get enough of their connection. Hope to see more books from Nicci Harris!! I’m officially on her train.

OMG!!!! I could not stop listening! I did a Marathon on this book!

Thank you!! I absolutely enjoyed this book! Shane East has the sexiest male voice in the world;)

Shane East killed it!

I was sucked in from the first line! Spice, plot, love... all top notch! I will definitely be listening to this one again!

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

I cannot even begin to describe how this book consumed me. It is dark, gritty and raw but the writing is nothing short of a work of art. AND on top of all of that, the narration was FLAWLESS. To say that it was worth a credit is an understatement.

Shane East is Perfection!!!

Story was very angsty, so many emotions. Trigger warnings aplenty. I don’t think I would have enjoyed the story nearly as much without Shane East narrating. He just does such an excellent job with the full human range of emotions; he is absolutely captivating. Sofia Lette did a great job as well, particularly during the more emotional parts of the story. She really cut my guts out during a few parts!! Eager to go back and listen to the beginning of the series.

It's not bad I guess

I has to stop listening and read the book myself. The voice for Clay sounds like it belongs to some mystical creature (like a warewolf) that has only one emotion and that's to be angry. Which made it really hard for me to feel the connection between Clay and Fawn.

Intense

The characters in this story were so complex and the development of the relationship between Clay and Fawn perfection. Love love loved it and so glad I came across a clip of this story on FB. I listed to part 1 and 2 in one weekend then when back to listen to it again.
The readers expressed the emotion in this story as if they were experiencing it. Very impressive

One of my favorites

I adore this book. Originally read it a few months ago, but once I saw the audio was available, I knew it was time for a reread.

Clay and Fawn are amazing together. I could not put this down the first time I read it and I couldn't put it down this time either.

I'm excited to listen to HPLQ soon. I need more Clay and Fawn.
