Tarris Marie's debut novel intertwines crime, romance, and the '90s
era. A refreshing new voice for urban romance lovers and women's crime
thriller connoisseurs.
Before her Hollywood dreams were shattered, Pearle Monalise Brown was
the tenacious aspiring actress from Compton's unforgiving, scarred
streets. Never broken, Pearle switches gears to a fallback
plan--resorting to her beauty and acting skills to swindle money and
expensive jewels. When she's hired by the Colombian cartel to steal a
priceless Basquiat from the debonair kingpin and art collector, Blaque,
her talents might not be enough to keep her from falling into a trap she
never saw coming.
Blaque is sagacious and handsome--not to mention the legacy of two
powerful organized crime families: the Laurent's--known dons hailing
from Kingston, Jamaica, and the Savage's--a sophisticated syndicate with
criminal enterprises across the U.S. As Blaque and Pearle become
passionately entangled, Pearle falls prey to a darker underworld. Time
is ticking. Lives are at stake. Will these love outlaws be able to
outsmart their enemies, or will they wage an all-out war, leaving the
bodies to fall wherever they may?
"Both inspirational and a delight to watch, Tarris Marie is proof
that limits and barriers exist only in our minds." --N'TYSE, national
bestselling author and film producer of Trap Soldiers
