A Dopegirl Needs Love Too: A Hood Love Story by Shan

Myss Shan takes on urban fiction with A Dopegirl Needs Love Too
After witnessing the brutal murder of her mother by the hands of her father, Mulani Gibson is sent to live with her uncle and two cousins Tyson and Dondrae. Mulani’s uncle taught everyone under his roof to get it how you live and by any means necessary. Mulani and her cousins took that to heart pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into the streets.
Along with her cousins, and best friend Asim Patrick, the game wasn’t ready for what they had to offer. Especially not the beautiful, tomboyish, and deadly Mulani.
A force to be reckoned with while carrying a no nonsense type attitude, ran off every man that even tried to get close to Mulani, but it didn’t matter, because all she ever wanted was Asim.
Asim is everything a boss should be. His street status is undeniable and at the young age of 21, he’s well on his way to having everything a man his age could ever want. The Respect, the riches…but there was only one thing missing…Mulani.
When tragedy brings them together, giving Mulani what she’s always wanted, she feels like the streets now has their king and queen and Asim couldn’t help but feel the same. But one mistake is all it took for Asim to walk away from Mulani and into the arms of another woman and even down the path of matrimony.
After the hurt that Asim has caused, Mulani goes harder than ever unwilling to love again. When a problem arises, Mulani’s motivation and undeniable dedication to get it handled is what leads her to meet the sexy Maddox aka Dox from the Bronx. Dox is a boss in his own right and wants to give Mulani all the love that she deserves. The time and attention Dox puts in is enough to break down Mulani’s walls. She’s ready to give in and ready to move on finally, but someone isn’t going to allow that to happen…Asim.
There can only be one king in the streets and in Mulani’s heart, but who will it be? The fight to the crown will be nothing nice. Who will be the one Mulani choose to show her that A Dopegirl needs love too?
