After being shot by Keko, Shamarcus finds himself second-guessing his love for her, but far from being a quitter, he decides to stick it out and overlook her craziness to see where this love thing can take them. He’s got just the thing to keep her in line, but there’s just one problem; it’ll be a cold day on hell before Keko bows down to him. If things with Keko aren’t enough to drive Shamarcus crazy, he’s forced to deal with his father’s recent release from prison. Though his dad is a changed man and wants to make amends for the past, Shamarcus isn’t sure he’s ready to forgive and let his dad back into his life. Will Shamarcus make the right move, or will he end up regretting his decision? Keko loves Shamarcus more than life itself, but she’s not about to allow him to abuse and take her love for granted. Fully aware that shooting him wasn’t the best approach, she seeks solace and guidance in Anson and Shay; after all, they’re the true definition of that ride or die kinda love. After some thought, Keko thinks she’s ready to deal with both the highs and lows for love, until Shamarcus throws a curveball and brings up the topic of kids.

They’re not just out to bring the missing girls home, though; they’re also on the hunt for long-lost family members, and while finding them proves to be the easy part, Keko and Shamarcus soon find themselves wondering whether finding them was a good thing. Will they regret seeking out their long-lost family? Will they find their own lives on the line as a result? These questions and more will be answered in this epic conclusion of No Mercy: Me and My Hitta!

Book Description

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

UML® (Unified Modeling Language) is the most popular graphical language used by software analysts, designers, and developers to model, visualize, communicate, test, and document systems under development. UML® 2.5 has recently been released, and with it a new certification program for practitioners to enhance their current or future career opportunities.
