Passion of the Streets

April 15, 2018
Gianna Ellis is a track star in Hawaii with plans to be the fastest runner in the nation. Nothing, she believes, will hold her back from her goal of making it to the Olympics, but a summer trip to visit family in Georgia may change this dream forever. Jamil Milli Rock has only ever known the streets. He's made his way up in this dangerous world of drugs and violence by keeping a low profile, but to win over the girl of his dreams, he has to step out of the shadows and prove that he's worthy of Gianna's love by making the necessary sacrifices to keep it. Gianna and Milli come from two different worlds, but love at first sight propels this unlikely pair into an intense affair that threatens to disrupt their carefully crafted plans. In this sweltering urban romance, veteran e-book author A'zayler hits print and weaves a web of dramatic secrets and surprise twists that will attract fans of Deja King and Sister Souljah.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
