Born and raised in one of Chicago’s grittiest neighborhoods, Dylann Finley is not your typical hood girl. She is brilliant with numbers, solving number and money problems in an instant. Having a drug addicted mom, she takes on the responsibilities of raising her baby sister by any means necessary, including the family she develops with her best friend Chitara, Malachi, and Cheyenne. Growing up, she struggles with her identity and being able to fit in because of her almost white complexion. However, Dylann is the complete opposite of everything you’d expect, and Malachi loves that about her. With their street operation in full effect, Malachi wants to take things to another level with her, seeing her more than just a friend. But his reputation for being a womanizer could jeopardize what he’s trying to build with her. Like most girls from the hood, Dylann wants more and wants out of her current livelihood. And she’s willing to do whatever it takes for the opportunity of getting out for hers and her sister’s sake. A chance encounter at a restaurant puts Dylann in the crosshairs of Nala and Sasha, sisters who have their own highly organized scheming business. With Dylann’s looks and her mixed complexion, the sisters hope to take the corporate world and all of their money by storm. However, Dylann’s desires to upgrade her life take an unexpected turn, fooling with Nala. But her world is truly torpedoed when tragedy strikes, making her take her pain and hurt out in an shocking way. With her main hustle in order, Nala is content living life with her live-in boyfriend Marcus, and she couldn’t ask for anything more. However, Marcus wants a lifelong commitment to Nala by having a baby with her but without giving her the forever ring. But, she doesn’t want to risk being a single mom. As life would have it, just when his wish is about to be granted, all hell breaks loose, trampling both of their lives. Makeshift families. Unexpected love. Unlikely friendships. Unforeseen heartbreak. Broken trust. All can be found in this smoking hot new urban hood series, Deceived by a Savage. Jaz Akins takes you on a wild ride in this page turner. Get comfortable, you won’t be disappointed. ** This book contains a cliffhanger.**
