All Triangle ever wanted was to be loved. Instead, she fell in love with the streets-and the streets showed her no mercy.
At seventeen, Triangle has already experienced more pain and betrayal than most people face in a lifetime. With a mother lost to drugs, a father she's never known, and nowhere to truly call home, this young Black girl has learned to survive the only way she knows how: depending on men who promise her everything but give her nothing but heartache.
Beautiful, young, and dangerously naive, Triangle mistakes attention for affection and money for security. Her gangster boyfriend, Ant, is a hustler with street cred who uses her like an underage prostitute, making money while convincing her that he loves her. Blinded by young love and loyalty, Triangle fails to recognize that the man she trusts is the same man destroying her life.
But when a violent confrontation ends in murder, everything changes.
Suddenly, Triangle finds herself caught in a homicide investigation, surrounded by dangerous relationships, deception, and secrets that could cost her everything. As the street life she's grown accustomed to becomes increasingly dangerous, she discovers that survival in the unforgiving streets of Detroit requires more than beauty and blind loyalty.
In a criminal world where self-defense can turn deadly, betrayal comes without warning, and revenge, vengeance, and retribution can destroy lives, Triangle must learn that street justice doesn't always protect the innocent.
With danger closing in and the people she trusts becoming her greatest threats, escaping the streets may be the hardest thing she's ever had to do.
Naive to the Streets is a gripping African American urban romance and urban crime thriller that explores the darker side of young love, crime, and survival. This gritty urban novel delivers raw street drama, unforgettable characters, and a heartbreaking journey through a world where being involved with the wrong thug can change your life forever.
For readers who enjoy African American books featuring Black teen girls, dangerous relationships, shocking betrayal, and emotional stories of survival, Triangle's journey is one you won't easily forget.
Triangle spent her whole life searching for someone to love her. But will she recognize real love before the streets take everything from her?
