Publisher's Synopsis
Who's your ride or die? Is it the chick you can count on to be there for you? Or is it the one that holds you down no matter what? Moni hails from the Cabrini-Green projects in Chicago, and just like everyone else in the hood, she just wants to get out. She's seen a lot and been through even more: from being tricked into prostitution by a man who took advantage of her naivety to dating a wolf in sheep's clothing. Looking to rebrand herself, Moni leaves the the projects and the city of Chicago in her rear view mirror and sets out to the exotic allure of the Hawaiian Islands where she quickly finds that there's more to the land of leis and luaus than what she's seen on TV. Kepano introduces her to a life among the Chinese triads, the Yakuza, and his world as head of The Company, the Hawaiian mob. Instead of a happily ever after ending, the island of Maui proves to be the beginning of Moni's world turning inside out as she deals with the trials and tribulations of being the future wife of a Mob boss. Follow along as Moni spins a tale of finding true love in spite of her past and staying true to her roots as a ride or die by her man's side.
