Losing by one you have no choice but to score. Wayne was fresh out of prison with the mindset to do right; live a law-abiding life. But circumstances were forcing him back onto the road he had sworn to never again travel. Not one to give up, he mustered up the courage and decided to give the streets one last try. This time he vowed to go hard or go home. And true to his word, he went hard, using the backs of any and all as a ladder to climb up; not caring who, what, when, where, or why. He was all in. He had learned in prison that only the heartless survived, and circumstances had hardened his heart. Now anger and bitterness were pushing him toward becoming heartless. And if being heartless was what it would take to make it, then so be it. But karma is a motherfucker when you're playing against the odds.

Born into the family of the most dangerous and powerful men in Chicago, Antonia "Tao" Angeles was raised rugged. Killing had easily become second nature to her. For that reason, she became the first and only female contract killer on a team full of ruthless men, those men being her brothers and the love of her life, Poppa. As their most deadly weapon, Tao was considered untouchable. She usually went unseen, but there was no doubt that she'd be felt. At twenty one years old, Tao is growing bored with her dangerous lifestyle and her only focus is securing enough money to bow out of the family business, forever. That is until her mentor, best friend, and her oldest brother, Bird is killed unexpectedly. Her hopes of leaving the assassination life behind her are put aside when she is sent to Memphis, Tennessee to even the score board with the person responsible for her brother's death. Tao promises herself that this would be her very last job. She plans to get in, get the job done, and get back to Chicago to start anew. Needless to say, things never go as planned. Tao's plan goes left when she runs into "The King of Memphis" Also known as Memphis. Memphis is a young powerful man who holds the key to the streets. With her long time boyfriend back home in Chicago, Memphis steals Tao's heart. The only problem with that is, he's in connection to her brother's murderer. And he may even be the very reason for her visit to the M-town.

A black love story.
