Turner delivers another juicy treat with this high-speed story of a feisty
young woman's search for passion, love, and understanding while she hustles for
survival.
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.
