No Saints in Sugar Hill

There are no saints here. Only survivors. And that’s holy enough.

Tariah Bell doesn’t scare easy. She’s held it down for years—grinding at the salon, raising her little sister, dodging the ghosts of her past. But when a call from a prison phone drags her back into the game she barely escaped, everything shifts. Old loyalties surface. Secrets get loud. And power comes at a price.

In Sugar Hill, trust is currency. Silence is armor. And women like Tariah, Shayla, and Kamira don’t ask permission to rise—they take what’s theirs.

No Saints in Sugar Hill is a gritty, razor-sharp novel about sisterhood, betrayal, and survival in a world that doesn’t offer soft landings. It’s a story about the dangerous kind of loyalty, the cost of silence, and the Black women who learn to wield both grace and grit like weapons.

If you love stories that blend street-smart tension with deep emotional fire, this one will leave you breathless.
