DONT LEAVE ME HANGIN'

Two years after witnessing her parents' deaths, Deshia quietly returns to her hometown of Arlington, Texas.

With the cartel still tracking her whereabouts, she finds herself in the heat of an ongoing war between chaos and justice. Struggling with the burden of trust, she grapples with assimilating into a life that is no longer her own.

As she starts her senior year mid-semester, she crosses paths with Sean-the charismatic leader of a respected crew-who's intrigued by her defensive demeanor. Very quickly the mystery to her secret life begins unraveling.

As Deshia tries to entertain the crew's childish ways and stick to the plan of clearing her family's name, she is torn between the protection of her heart and the fight for her survival.

Sneak Peek

"Yo curiosity goin fool around and get you in trouble." I warned.

"And so are your lies." She countered.

"You're one to talk." I spat back.

"Hey, I lie because I have to, not because I want to." I rolled my eyes in disbelief.

Such a cop-out statement.

"So what's the difference?" I countered.

"Apparently nothing in your book." She shrugged grabbing her water bottle.

As my brows went up, my mind trailed back to when we first met. She was a firecracker that stood solid on her own. And in those early moments, I had convinced myself she was the type to never give in so easily. Now, I was reconsidering if I'd given her too much credibility.

"And you think that's healthy?" I pressed.

"When you're protecting the ones you love." She said mockingly and I simply replied with a smile.
