Guns, loyalty, betrayal-those are his everyday realities. But when he meets Shanice, something in him shifts. She's not like the women he's used to. She challenges him, softens him, and makes him dream of a life he never thought was possible. But love in the garrison isn't simple. As their connection grows, so do the enemies, the jealousy, and the danger that surrounds them. Shanice must decide if she can trust a man with blood on his hands, and Maskica must choose between the life that raised him and the woman who might just save him. From gun talk and zinc fences to rose petals and whispered promises, Married to di Streets, In Love with Her is a raw, passionate story of survival, sacrifice, and a love deeper than the wounds of the past.

The man he always wanted to be. The man he knew she deserved. _______________________________ - Mature Content (18+) - Violence

"Halima just called me." She spoke up, talking about my sister. "She said your mom wanted to talk to me." "Oh yeah.." I trailed off, thinking about what my brother had just told me. "She wun' see you and Mya." I told her, already knowing what it was my mama wanted from her. "Yeah, I know. We just talked."
