New York Times bestselling author Wahida Clark has always had her finger on the pounding pulse of the streets. In this novel from her iconic Thug series on sisters trying to rise above, she delivers a true-to-life world where love can be just as dangerous as the men who ignite it. Angel, Jaz, Tasha, and Kyra are living proof that hope is more than a word. These girlfriends are pulling themselves out of the ghetto--and trying to bring their hearts up to higher ground with them. But sometimes the past ain't in no mood to let go. Angel has met the brother of her dreams--after living through a nightmare with Snake. Believing the pimp is dead, Angel has moved on. She's starting her own law practice and a new life with Kaylin, a drug dealer who's stepped outta the game and runs two promising businesses.

Things are looking up--until an unwanted guest crashes their wedding and all the rage and bloodlust from the hood comes out. Now Angel's gonna need every prayer in heaven to make it to the altar alive.
