About the Book

Being the daughter of a pastor, Erica Collins never got a chance to live a normal life. When she lost her mother at a very young age, she questioned her faith in the Lord. Pastor Collins tried to rescue her faith by tying her everyday life even more closely to the church. Now 21 years old, Erica's only escape from her father and his Bible is when she hooks up with her best friend, Nicole. She finds a little freedom through Nicole's wild stories, with most of them being about her boyfriend, Mekco. Erica is all in, craving the attention and the lifestyle that Nicole has. Mekco is the leader of The Detroit Brick Boyz. Now that his best friend and the former leader of the crew, Pierre AKA P, is out of jail, Mekco is ready to put his boy back on without stepping down as the leader. Before getting knocked, Pierre was used to living the fast lifestyle and making money. After he's released, he is introduced to the beautiful Erica Collins. Once Erica enters his life, he questions if he has been living wrong all along. He soon finds himself falling for a young lady who didn't have any business looking his way. He wants to do right by her, but pursuing his position as the leader of the Brick Boyz and dealing with snakes from the past cause him to push her away. This pastor's daughter has some choices to make. Does she return to the flock, or fully enter the world of these kingpins?
