About this eBook

Once the streets pull you in, they own you. Or at least that's the way it's been for Nautica. Growing up in the ‘hood, all she's ever known is the fast life—fast money ill-gotten through scandals and relentless scheming. But when a big scam nearly finishes her off, she decides to seek more out of life than the "hustle" and tries to make a new life for herself on the East Coast. It isn't long, though, before she falls in with Manny, a drug kingpin, who sweeps her off her feet. He promises to marry her and make her "Queen of the Street." Then everything falls apart. As their relationship unravels, both of their dark secrets are uncovered, pitting them against each other in this exciting tale of love and deception.

GREAT READ..LOVED THIS BOOK...I JUST WISH THE CHARACTERS HAD MORE GUTS TO COME CLEAN ABOUT THE SECRETS THEY HOLD FROM THEIR OTHER SIGNIFICANT OTHER ...THE STORY COULD ALWAYS TAKE TWISTS AND TURNS...BUT SOMETIMES THE SECRETS JUST NEED TO BE TOLD UPFRONT AND SOME TIME BLACK MALE NEEDS TO TAKE THE BACK SEAT...BUT REVENGE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE PLOT
