Ayinnde & Khiana: Falling for a St. Louis Thug

Ayinnde Ali is soon to be released after serving hard time in prison. In his return, he’s left on his ends when the world was once at his disposal. With turning circumstances, he has to make the dreaded decision to leave the streets or bleed the block. His life and the ones around will surely hang in the balance.

Khiana Hanes comes from the same blocks as Ayinnde, but her life has taken a different route. Attached to a scorned past life, at twenty-four years young, she is heavily devoted to her career as a child welfare social worker.

During countless encounters with gang leader, Ayinnde, she struggles to look past the ex-con and the gang affiliation that is a part of him.

Khiana has been waiting for her knight in shining armor, but does Ayinnde have her wait no longer? In his famous words, “How a thug like me, end up with a queen like you?”
