And when one of the city's most notorious gangsters offers to fund the opening of her beauty shop Tuffy accepts the terms. But at what cost? When Ant and Tuffy meet sparks immediately fly. Yet the ghosts of their pasts won't stop haunting them. Ant's childhood friend Cornelius is trying to lure him back into the game. Ex-flame Reid attempts to force his way back into Tuffy's life. And what of the beautiful yet psychotic enforcer Gigi Garcia? Everyone's paths will eventually cross and nothing will ever be the same again.Inspired by the Memphis Tennessee neighborhood in which JAY FINGERS grew up and brimming with drama romance humor and suspense ORANGE MOUND is a quirky irreverent take on the genre of urban fiction.
