Carin Douglas is a fearless young girl, thrust into the role of a stickup kid alongside Brooklyn's most notorious thugs. She learns to fight, to survive, and ultimately to shine through a series of events that take her from a young girl on the verge to a designer-clad diva with a hot car, an even hotter man, and a million deadly skeletons in her closet.
When Carin meets Monty, aka "Money Monty," he sweeps her off her feet with one romantic gesture after another. Monty is a sexy, powerful man with that legendary Brooklyn swagger and more money than most of his peers in the street. Their urban fairytale soon erupts into passionate sex, bold power moves, and eventually, devastating physical violence between them. When things get explosive, Carin is reminded of the love she knows Monty feels for her and the lavish lifestyle he's showered her with. But will that be enough to save them?

I loved the book' it was def a page turner' Carin was a strong woman, I applaued her for her strength. Always look for a book with a good plot like this, helps women, it def can help someone, love a good VILLAIN (MONTY) made it a good read , write more plzzzz lol!!!

I loved this book!! As I was reading it I stoped and day dreamed that what if that was me in Carins shoes. She was so strong and loving that it almost killed her. But being that way also saved her life!!!! LOVE IT!!!

When you think your life is bad, someone else is dealing with a much worse situation. Count your blessings this book was cool beans
