Shanni Monroe wasn't out here chasing men; she was out here chasing a purpose.

A BBW, beautiful, built for the grind, she's clocking hours at the salon, stacking every dime to get herself into law school. She's had to fend for herself since a child, never able to catch a break. Her heart's been broken, her trust isn't easily earned, and love isn't even on her radar anymore after her recent breakup.

But then she meets Kashmier Blackwell—the hood's most feared and respected boss. The only thing was, he was taken by someone else.

Rich, ruthless, and cold-blooded when he needs to be, Kash ain't just a street dude, he's a legacy in the making. But, in order to take over his father's empire, he got to do one thing: produce a son in the next 12 months, or everything he's built goes to his reckless, snake, half-brother.

The problem is that his fiancée, Amira, can't give him the baby that he desperately needs. The real problem is that Amira's been keeping a dirty secret about why she can't conceive.

Then Kash runs into Shanni, a woman with nothing to gain in everything to lose. Her hustle, her vibe, her curves… She is everything his life has been missing. So, when he and Amira offer her a life-changing bag to be their surrogate, Shanni agrees, but it's strictly business.

But all hell breaks loose when Cash uncovers Amira's betrayal.

One night. One mistake. One moment of raw emotion, and now Shanni is caring, a baby… But whose is it?

Is it the baby that Kash and Amira planned for, or did that one night of passion change everything?

Now Kash is locked on Shanni and ready to claim what might be he is, for real.

But with enemies watching, Amira, spiraling, and a legacy on the line… this love triangle is about to explode.

Love. Lust. Loyalty. Carrying a Big Dawg's Legacy is a raw, unhinged, urban tale… where the streets meet the sheets, and one woman finds herself caught between a thug's empire, and a heart she never expected to touch.
