Street Heiress by Diamond D. Johnson

Riot St. James. Not the woman that needs saving, but if you cross her, she’s the one that you’ll need saving from.

Only 21 years old, but she’s already taken some major losses in life. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, and she’s the daughter of a street hustler. Before her father could teach her the game, and pass it down to her, she lost him at just three years old. As if that loss wasn’t enough, years later, she looses her big brother, who was also her best friend, and the one person in her life that she loved the most. Taking those losses, it leaves her angry, and she’s constantly at war with everyone around her.
Moving through life with a chip on her shoulder, and very unpredictable, Riot has done her share of jail time. Fresh out of jail, and she wants to pick up in the drug business exactly where she left off before going in. She’s determined to make a name for herself, and she refuses to live a soft life the way everyone around her wants her to live.
Riot came home from jail to a violent trend going on in Miami. Women are innocently being gunned down, with no means of protection. Riot’s cousin signed her up for the class while she was locked up, and once she’s free, it leads her straight to a powerful woman that’s going to be responsible for trying to end this ongoing problem in Miami, where women don’t have the gun knowledge to protect themselves. That woman is nonother than Uzi Reaves. Although Riot is perfectly skilled when it comes to gun training, and self- defense, she lacks structure, so the class is perfect for her.
Then, there’s Dominique Shaw. The world knows him as ‘Dolo’. He’s young and has the drug game on lock in Miami. Dolo, and Riot meet during chaos, and the urge to stay alive. What started out as business between the two of them turns into something else. Something deeper. The thing is, Dolo has never settled down, and Riot has moved through life, hating men, never belonging to anyone, so how will this work between them?
Riot came home thinking she knew exactly how her life was going to go. Nothing about this life, or the man she met turned out to be the way she expected.
