About This Audiobook

Yarni Taylor has built a respectable life as a corporate attorney, married to Des, a former hustler turned pastor who's trying to leave his dangerous past behind. But when an assassination attempt rocks their world and a brazen robbery disrupts Des's church service, the couple realizes their old life refuses to stay buried. Matters grow more complicated when an unexpected visitor arrives: Desember Day, the teenage daughter Des never knew existed, who seems to have inherited her father's taste for trouble. As threats mount and enemies close in, Yarni faces an impossible choice between the safe, legitimate world she's created and the brutal street justice that might be the only way to protect her family.

Bahni Turpin delivers a powerfully immersive performance that captures both Yarni's professional polish and her street-smart resilience. Turpin's nuanced vocal work brings distinct personality to each character, from Des's conflicted masculinity to young Desember's rebellious energy. Her pacing builds tension expertly during action sequences while allowing quieter moments to breathe with emotional weight. The audio format enhances Turner's gritty dialogue and rapid-fire plot developments, making this urban drama feel immediate and visceral.
