Imagine being a good man to the woman you’re pursuing and a street king to everyone else. Rashad “Shad” Black believes in elevating his woman, Ty, pouring into her mentally, emotionally, and financially. However, loyalty is a dangerous illusion, and the woman he invested in is the biggest threat to his throne.

He discovers things about his lady that he doesn’t want to believe. His childhood friend Promise tries to remove his blinders, but it’s too late. The table is set and the plot is in play. He must navigate his discovery the right way. One wrong move could cost him more than he was ever willing to pay.

With his best friend, Tray, and young hitter Mazi by his side, Shad is out for vengeance. The streets will feel his wrath, and the ones who came for him will pay in blood. When the dust settles, he dismantles his operation in Tampa, Florida, the only home he’s ever known. He’s taking his organization to a new city and state, where the stakes are even higher.

The streets will remember his name, but in the end, one thing rings true.

The streets are cold, but women are colder.
