What's Love Without Trust? a Gangsta Romance — Cedric Lewis

Diamond was the daughter of a junkie. Birthed to the streets, making it any way she could. Diamond trusted no one. Her fast life and shady ways placed her face-to-face with death, witnessing her best friend's murder. Nowhere to turn, she ran right back into the arms of her abusive ex, Rahim. Diamond's desperate pleas went unheard as she hid from the police, stuck in a living hell. Anthony was an uptight lawyer who kept a snow white Barbie on his arm. He looked down on black women. The darker the complexion, the less respect you got from Anthony. Anthony would even go so far as bashing his colleague, Larry. Larry had a thing for ghetto girls. They stumbled across Diamond, and Larry offered to help Diamond but had yet to be found. Fate takes place as two different worlds collide. Anthony is fighting his feelings, stuck between love and lust. Diamond is running for dear life, in love with a man she can't trust.
