Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Anissa Burke has one goal, and that's to be the baddest bitch to ever walk the earth. Using seduction to her advantage, she stays laced in designer clothes, in the best homes, and behind the wheel of fancy cars. Things are good, and when Anissa meets a pimp named Leon, he promises to make them even better.
At first Leon treats her like royalty. He tells her she's better than his other girls and even shows her the game. Soon, though, she begins to see the evil in him take root, and his love turns to brutal blows. Tired of seeing bruises on her skin and giving him all her money, Anissa can't take it anymore. After witnessing Leon commit a murder, she calls in an anonymous tip that leads to his arrest.
With Leon gone, his spot is up for grabs, and Anissa knows she's the only one who can step into it. The girls trust her, and under her wing, they become the highest paid underground escort business in South Beach. However, sometimes the things buried in the past can dig themselves up.
When escorts start turning up dead around the city and an attempt is made on her life, Anissa discovers that Leon has been released from prison. With vengeance in his heart, he wants back what he's started, and he won't stop until there is no more breath in Anissa's body.
"After relying on high-priced prostitution as her only source of income, Anissa Burke has finally earned enough money to leave the escort life behind and open her own boutique with her cousin and business partner, Brynn Hollingsworth. But when Brynn is gunned down and left in a coma, Anissa has no choice but to seek the protection of a pimp named Leon... At first, Leon treats Anissa like royalty, but she soon sees what he does to the other escorts who work for him: denying them freedom, dictating when they can eat and where they go, even beating them. When Anissa learns of the darkest pages in Leon's past, she realizes it's just a matter of time before Leon turns on her, too. But it isn't until she discovers the truth about Brynn's attempted murder that Anissa takes action, determined to get her life back and , while she's at it, take Leon down."--Page 4 of cover.
