Wahida Clark 
Thug Matrimony 

An uninvited guest throws a ghetto wedding into chaos in this raw urban romance by the New York Times and Essence bestselling author.



Angel, Jaz, Tasha, and Kyra are living proof that hope is more than a word. The four girlfriends are pulling themselves out of the ghetto—and trying to bring their hearts up to higher ground with them. But sometimes the past ain’t in no mood to let go. . .



Angel has met the brother of her dreams—after living through a nightmare with Snake. Believing that pimp is dead, Angel has moved on. She’s starting her own law practice and a new life with Kaylin, a drug dealer who’s stepped outta the game to run a recycling business and a hot new record label.



But the past is never far from Kaylin, and when an unwanted guest crashes their wedding, all the rage and bloodlust from the hood comes bustin’ out—and Angel’s gonna need every prayer in heaven to make it to the altar.
