About This Book
Caroline McGill's debut novel is a page-turning tale of lust, revenge, drugs, and murder that exposes the raw side of street life.
When self-serving affairs threaten to ruin treasured relationships in the lives of Portia, Simone, Laila, and Fatima, will they find the moral and spiritual strength to accept their destinies?
Portia traded in her church roots for the x-rated nightlife as the scene's hottest stripper, Mystique. The hood respects her, and the men in suits lust after her. Jay, a Brooklyn hustler en-route to becoming a record company executive, delights in late-night, pre-paid, sex-on-demand romps with this conniving kitten. But will the top dog in town make a lady of the night his lady? And if so, can Portia escape her past without any scars?
Simone is enjoying trips, jewelry, and extended lunches--perks of playing between the sheets with her married boss. But when she learns that her supervisor-turned-sugar daddy, Kyle, has a deadly secret, can Simone cope with the discovery?
Laila, the meek married mother of two feels her spouse Khalil is slipping away from their wedded union. He is aloof and comes home late smelling of liquor and other sour stenches. Will Laila salvage her marriage?
Fatima, a control freak who has had her share of unprotected sex, becomes panic stricken after taking her first HIV/AIDS test. Will she have to live with the consequences of her mistakes forever?
Follow these four women as they take you on an exhilarating ride through the streets they know best.
