Survival. Sex. Money. The hustle never ends.

Lorenzo Watson wants an everyday life—his job, his girlfriend, his child. Of course, he isn’t asking for much. But as the bills and stress pile up, the call of his former life hustling the streets of Selma, North Carolina, gets harder and harder to ignore, even though he’s gone straight these days, with a good job in the prison system and a future that requires staying legal.

However, when he makes the mistake of confiding in one of his coworkers, he’s lured back in with a single transaction. And back home, as his struggling relationship falls apart, his girlfriend Shayla takes matters into her own hands with a life-altering decision that might change everything—for all of them. As the secrets they keep from each other spiral out of control, both Lorenzo and Shayla have convinced themselves that they’re doing the right thing for their family. But is it really for the family?

Or is it for money—over everything else?

Fans of urban fiction, African American street lit, crime thrillers, and tense family dynamics will love this novel packed full of drama, betrayal, sex, and the story of a relationship trying to survive.
