Book Description
West Side Gangster Crip was the set she claimed, and Baby Doll rode hard for her gang on the west side of St. Louis. Her partners in crime were a pair of brothers, Alan and Al Snow, whom she’d known since she was a little kid. Baby Doll and Alan were best friends, but his brother, Al, was the one who caught Baby Doll’s eye and they instantly go right into a whirlwind romance. Until tragedy strikes and Baby Doll is sent to prison. After serving a ten-year prison sentence, Baby Doll re-emerges in St. Louis carrying a love for her West Side Gangsta Crips and a secret that she’s been hiding from Al. As she gets re-adjusted to living on the outside, her love for Al is still present and they don’t waste anytime getting back familiar with one another. A reunion at Alan’s club brings Al face to face with his first love, and Baby Doll is as beautiful as ever. Al becomes caught up in his old feelings for Baby Doll forgetting to disclose his current relationship status, being engaged to another woman. They get re-acquainted and the love is still real, but Baby Doll isn’t as naïve as Al would like to believe. She knows that Al is hiding his relationship with another woman, and feels that maybe she should explore her options. Then enters Dip, a dashingly handsome advisory, named Dip, who is also a Blood, from the other side of their hood who has his eyes on Baby Doll. She’s not feeling Dip, because her gang ties hold true to her heart, and she’s a loyalist. It’s West Side Gangsta Crip til the death of her. However, their first encounter left a lasting impression on an already lust-filled Dip, who desires to possess Baby Doll, and have her by his side. Even if it means an all out war in the streets.
