In a world filled with females, there’s Kardy Brass, a down to earth struggling mother who works at Walmart to make ends meet. Her workplace serves as an outlet from the drama in her home. When an unexpected opportunity knocks and she accepts it, Kardy believes that her life is changing for the better or so she thought. Soon, she realizes that escaping chaos is lost on her, especially since she can’t catch a break and chaos seems to follow her. With her life dangling in front of her and everything feeling almost on the edge, Kardy is close to losing her mind as things continue to slip further away from her grasp… that is until she crosses paths with a gangsta. Millz and his brother Onyx run the streets of Chicago, both legally and illegally. With Millz being one year his brother’s senior, he calls all the shots or do he really? Being a man that moves to his own beat and carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, Millz’s load becomes quite heavy, especially when you mix in baby momma drama and the streets. Tired of playing second fiddle, Onyx wants to make his own name known, leaving a trail of boneless skeletons that are not quite ready to be revealed. Shanika believes she is the baddest chick in the city of Chicago, holding on to the fact that she has Millz’s one and only child, trusting that it puts her ahead of the game. Living the lavish life on his dime, life for her is perfect until her woman’s intuition kicks in, forcing her to step out of her stilettos and into her sneakers. Losing her meal ticket is out of the question, so Shanika is willing to do whatever to keep Millz. When drama, betrayal, lies, and deception surface, this group is hit head on. Will new love trump old love? Or will tragedy cease all? Power, greed, and trust are major players in this first book of the Upgraded by A Gangsta series.
