Thugs and the Women Who Love Them

Now a classic, the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Wahida Clark's gritty Thug series takes readers into the streets, where a wrong choice could be the last decision a person ever makes . . .

In a neighborhood loaded with sex, brutality, and crime, three friends are at a turning point. They can surrender to life on the edge--and the murderous men who rule there--or walk a totally different path. But nothing is simple, and everything has consequences . . .

Angel, Jaz, and Kyra are all leading double lives, working hard to leave the ghetto behind--yet held back by the lying, pimping, drug-dealing lovers they can't seem to let go. From jealous rampages to bloody turf wars to rage-fueled vendettas, a tangled web of violence binds these women to the people--and the place--that could destroy them . . .

"Clark takes us on a journey . . . the ride is exciting and drama filled."
