Teaming up and establishing a relationship with fellow foster buddy, Booby, the duo grind daily to survive, using many means to hustle. When one lick places her in an unsavory and lethal position, Juvie recognizes the clear-cut wakeup call while trusting Booby with her destructive secret.

26 years old and handsome, Peso Floyd is an astute businessman, a superb provider, and a fierce protector, especially about those he cares about. When he sees the undeniable beauty in the restaurant, he has no choice but to shoot his shot. With pure intentions, Peso wants to open Juvie up to a world of emotions that she has never experienced before and prepare her for a prosperous future where her dreams are achievable.

Through unselfish acts, genuine generosity, and displaying real love, Peso and Juvie embark on a lover’s journey and all that comes with it. However, things come to a record-screeching halt when Juvie’s past catches up with her putting her in a position to choose life, jail, or death.

Meeting is by uninhibited happenstance. Falling in love is by pleasurable circumstances. But when premeditated betrayal, loyalty, and trust are a foregone conclusion, things between Peso and Juvie quickly go from sweet to bitter.

Prepare for an unforgettable love story in the first installment of this African American Urban Fiction series!
