Sundae Monroe Banks was born into pain.

After losing her father and being handed over to the streets by her own mother, she learned early: love is dangerous, and emotions are a weakness she can't afford.

While most girls her age are picking colleges and chasing dreams, Sundae's out here chasing survival.

Now nineteen, cold-blooded, and wise beyond her years, she stacks money, uses men, and keeps her heart locked behind walls nobody can break through.

Trust is dead. Loyalty is strictly conditional.

But when people she thought were solid start switching sides-and the past she tried to bury claws its way back-Sundae is forced to confront the one person she's been running from … herself.

Selfish is a raw, gritty urban fiction novel packed with betrayal, heartbreak, and survival.

If you love street lit, hood love stories, and Black coming-of-age tales with real emotion and shocking twists, Selfish is a must-read.

"Because love might heal … But sometimes, being selfish is the only way to survive."
