A Lover's Betrayal

Ridah is faced with the dire consequences of her choices, messing with the hood’s finest. She is no stranger to betrayals and backstabbing, and the stakes keep rising. When Crips gang member Ridah discovers that she is pregnant, she has no idea whether it is by the boyfriend of her mentor in the streets, K.J., or his cousin, Smirky. She prays that God will somehow favor her, and that the child she is carrying is K.J.’s. However, this might not even be her biggest problem. Lanka is willing to do anything within her power to disconnect the bond Ridah and K.J. have built. K.J. is the only man Lanka has ever loved, and she fears that Ridah will replace her as the woman in K.J.’s life. After Ridah loses a close friend who was murdered in cold blood, she vows to exact revenge. Her ongoing beef with Lanka is now more personal than ever before. With death on her tail every day, Ridah is starting to wonder if being with K.J. is worth the drama that comes along with it. Life as a Cripette means you ride hard and live fast—and, as Ridah is discovering, it might very well mean you die young.
