📖 Lola
By Melissa Scrivner Love

In Lola, Melissa Scrivner Love introduces readers to a gritty, dark, and compelling crime novel with a bold new protagonist—a woman who thrives in a world where only the strong survive.

🌆 A Woman in Control
Lola is not the typical girlfriend of a gang leader. In fact, while she appears to be just a background figure, she’s secretly the true mastermind of The Crenshaw Six, a small but powerful gang in South Central Los Angeles. Unlike the men around her, Lola's power is based on her intelligence, ruthlessness, and ability to manipulate the world of gang warfare. She’s used to playing the game from the shadows, but her cover is about to be blown.

🔥 A Dangerous Game
When Lola and her crew are offered a deal by a major drug cartel, it's an opportunity that could set them up for life—or destroy them. But when the deal goes bad, Lola must outwit both the drug cartels and law enforcement while maintaining her control over her crew and protecting her secrets.

💪 A Ruthless Antiheroine
Lola is a character like no other—a woman who thrives in a world dominated by men, where violence and loyalty are the ultimate currencies. She’s fiercely protective of her small crew and the community around her, yet she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. She knows how to manipulate the underworld, using both her mind and her weapon when needed, but her greatest asset is her ability to make people underestimate her.

🚨 Underworld Power Struggles
Lola’s journey is one of survival, where the stakes are high, and trust is a rare commodity. As rival gangs, the police, and the cartels close in, Lola must make impossible choices to keep her crew alive and maintain her hidden power. But in this world, every decision comes with a cost—and Lola may find that even the smartest leaders can’t always stay one step ahead of the game
