Danielle Armstrong has been trying all her life to get the hell out of her neighborhood. At age seventeen, she has managed to join all three existing clubs at her local high school, ace every AP course she's ever taken, and hold the esteemed position of swim team captain for three consecutive years — all in hopes of being offered a scholarship and leaving the dangerous streets of Oakland behind. Now, as her senior year draws to a close, Dani is finally given the opportunity she's been praying for: a way out.
Terrence has never been entirely sure what his last name is. For the past sixteen years he's been a part of the Jones family, and they have welcomed him with open arms — that is, until his first arrest. After returning home from his second stay behind bars, "TJ" is well on his way to being kicked to the curb. His future appears to be a bleak one, especially with his growing involvement in the Twomps, a very dangerous local gang. Terrence's only chance at getting out — and staying alive — rests upon the shoulders of the one person who couldn't seem less interested in his welfare.
Read along as the harsh reality of the streets forces these two polar opposites to collide, resulting in a twisted romance filled with passion, drama, scandal and — most importantly — second chances.
