About this series
For Isis, Secret, and Penny, the good times just keep getting better. As “managers” of Miami's hottest custom car shop, they’re moving vast kilos of product faster than their scammer boss, Kirk, can pimp out rides—and living la vida luxurious. So they’ve got things under control when Secret and Penny's alcoholic mother shows up needing help. And when Isis' one-time love, Bobbi, begs for another chance—complete with a huge payoff—she's got his loot on lock and temptation at arm's length . . .
But fast money brings ever more lethal problems. Penny falls into a vicious spiral of addiction no amount of cold hard cash can break. As Secret and Isis struggle to save her, a vengeful enemy goes hard after Kirk and the business, putting all three friends in the crosshairs. And as they fight to save what they've built, staying alive means risking unthinkable options—and betrayal no friendship can forgive . . .
“Saundra continues to flawlessly portray the dog-eat-dog code that Detroit goes by. The ending to this story is unpredictable and makes for the perfect ending to this seemingly never-ending roller-coaster ride.”

- If It Ain't about the Money
1
Three friends. One slim chance to beat the streets. But even when you fight your way out by any means necessary, cold hard cash is still no guarantee you'll escape . . . Secret. Penny. Isis. Two sisters, one best friend. Between neglectful parents and growing up in Miami's worst neighborhood, the three have had each others’ backs since forever. So there's nothing Secret won't do to grab the cash flow and glamorous lives she, innocent Penny, and idealistic Isis surely deserve. And she and lowlife fixer Kirk have the perfect plan: transfer rich folks’ wealth to new accounts, cleverly make withdrawals, and line their pockets . . . Soon it's raining money, exclusive condos, fast cars—and major bad-news trouble. 'Cause Isis just found real love and now wants out of the game for good. And when a merciless enemy, a disastrous old scam-gone-bad, and unexpected betrayal turn the girls’ glittering world inside out, how far will they game each other—and risk their friendship—to survive?
