<p align="center"> <b>From the "queen of urban fiction" (<I>Publishers Weekly</i>), Vicki Stringer, comes a scorching tale of love, lies, loss, and the indomitable spirit of a woman scorned.</b> <P> Mischievous and manipulative, eighteen-year-old Red is an expert at deception with a provocative femininity. She employs her dirty ways - even faking a pregnancy with her boyfriend - to win a closet full of Gucci bags, a deluxe condominium full of baby accessories, a new car, and a book deal. But when one of Red's scams backfires and she winds up truly pregnant by her inmate ex-boyfriend, Bacon, she finds herself in more trouble than she's ever known. The drama truly unravels when Red's picture-perfect cons fall apart due to the power of - surprisingly - love.
