Hood Misfit

An Atlanta love story born in chaos, secrets, and survival.

Wilde Issac moves in silence. A lethal contract killer with a green thumb, Wilde balances blood on his hands with dirt under his nails, caring for plants and his younger siblings with equal devotion. With his mother behind bars and his father MIA, Wilde is all they've got. But when a hit goes wrong and he's left bleeding with no clear enemy in sight, he knows someone close set him up. He just doesn't know who, or why.

Then he meets Thyri Blackwood: a beautiful woman with tired eyes and a tired heart. She's a stay-at-home mom in a toxic relationship, fed up and ready to leave her cheating fiancé behind. With bills piling up and two little ones to protect, she needs more than a miracle. She needs a way out. Wilde becomes that way out. But falling for a man with blood on his knuckles and secrets in his trunk might cost her more than she's willing to risk.

Across town, Wilde's sister Hennecy Ortega is trying to rewrite her own story. A survivor of generational pain, she's focused on college by day and stacking tips as a bottle girl by night. Love isn't on her radar, until she collides with Arnaz "AR" Williamson, a possessive kingpin with a vision for love, legacy, and everything in between. But when AR's partner threatens to tear down what he's building, Hennecy finds herself caught between the fire and the fuse.

In a city where loyalty is currency and love is never simple, these four misfits are trying to rewrite the rules. But the streets always have their own ending in mind.
