Billie (aka “Ducati”) is known as much for her extraordinary beauty as for the sexy yellow Ducati motorcycle she rides through the mean streets of Los Angeles. Tough, talented, and self-assured, Billie’s used to doing things her way—but that was before love threw an oil slick in the road and spun her life into chaos.
Billie’s first problem is simple: she’s pregnant.
Her second problem is that her lover, Keith, is still married.
Keith has some “things” to deal with, and the people in his life are dark and duplicitous enough to take matters into their own hands, determined to keep Billie from having her baby. Billie suddenly finds herself confronted, attacked, run off highways, threatened, and shadowed. Keith still has ties to his manipulative wife, Carmen, and he adores his fifteen-year-old daughter, Destiny. Will he do the right thing by his new family, or stand by his old one?
Soon all eyes shift as everyone finds themselves desperately chasing Destiny, a troubled and deceptive girl dancing on the edge of womanhood. When the rubber meets the road, all the madness with Billie, Carmen, and Keith comes to a head. Everyone’s fighting dirty for what they want…and they’re all willing to destroy their enemy or go down in flames to get it.

"Love this book, yet another one that kept me turning the pages, wanting me to kick some kid's butt (Destiny) and cheering on Bille, a very smart, sexy woman who happens to be pregnant by Destiny's dad, who is still married to her witch of a mother :P Good read!"

" another hit by mr. dickey !!! "
— R, 2/20/2014" Jerome taught me about the good and bad boys in relationships lol "
— Bsalami, 2/16/2014" It started out promising. GREAT characters. then it just got all sorts of fucked up. The story sort of got itself backed into a corner, and as far as I'm concerned, never got to a point of resolution. Sort of like life, but really, if I wanted that I'd be reading the newspaper, or my old journals. "
— Jessica, 2/16/2014" I did not enjoy this book I know when I'm Reading a good book cause I can not put it down and any spare time I have i will spend Reading it but this book took me forever to complete. I defo was not running home to read this book. Lol "
— Latoya, 2/15/2014" waited patiently when this one was coming out, and it was worth the wait. "
— Jacqui, 2/15/2014" Slow start but it became interesting towards the end. It was too much drama for me but curiosity took over. I will try another book by Eric Dickey. Are there any recommendation? "
— Shannon, 2/1/2014" This book had me from the first line! It sucked me in and I was glued to it until I finished it! I don't usually go for books like this, but I might start doing that more often! "
— Caitlin, 1/26/2014" Eh. I got this book because the audiobook was at my local library. The book starts out promising but about a third of the way in it kind of loses its way. The characters are all pretty self-serving and ultimately it had no real point. "

— Christina, 1/20/2014" Wow, this was a good read "
