About
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
