Ballad of a Boss' Wife: Bless and Bianca's Story

Set on the streets of Chicago, where survival is never guaranteed, this African American romance follows Bianca Bismillah, a seventeen-year-old with more poise than most grown women. Life at home is hard for her, and she has long looked to Bless, the older brother of her best friend, for shelter. Bless is twenty-five and has always thought of her as a little sister, so he is slow to see her in any other way. Their age gap becomes his main obstacle, while Bianca is certain she has to have him. Strong-willed and determined, she refuses to lose the love she wants, and she means to become the boss's wife, whatever it costs her.
