Queen of hip hop fiction Nikki Turner follows her gritty,
emotionally charged novel The Glamorous Life with this new tale
from the hood featuring a beautiful down-on-her-luck sister who can
out-hustle the best of them as she rises from the ghetto to glory.
After Mercy's beloved dad is murdered in cold blood on her seventh
birthday, her mother gives her up to foster care. But despite an
unsavory upbringing, Mercy vows to make something of herself-at all
costs.
Working as a concierge at a hotel notorious for its shady
clientele, Mercy meets and falls hard for a notorious dealer who
keeps her living large in Gucci clothes and off-the-hook
apartments. Then she lands a real lucrative deal: running drugs up
Interstate 95 from Miami to New York.
But Mercy doesn't want to live the gangsta life forever. She's got
bigger dreams. She turns legit and makes her mark, yet despite a
new, cleaned-up career, she can't get the streets completely out of
her blood. A sexy hustler named C-Note steals her heart. And as
their relationship heats up, Mercy discovers that their pasts are
hopelessly-and tragically-entwined.
