Five Out Of Ten

Five out of Ten. That had been her given score. Basic, or just average really, was all Luca Mato decided she was worth when it came to judging her sexual skills. It was a senior prank for him, and one of those huge mistakes she was supposed to look back on and regret with a laugh. Unfortunately, it all went horribly wrong when she ended up pregnant. Nessa Tyler, an African American teen, had never had an easy life with an absent mother and a grandmother who was just waiting for her to mess up just like her mom had. She didn't trust and she didn't hope. She made mistakes all the time and fumbled through life like most teenagers. Though she fumbled harder than normal when she allowed Luca Mato into her life and into her pants -- her grandma had always told her to keep her legs closed if she wanted to keep trouble out of her life. Now, their lives are to be intertwined forever and with trust broken and hope gone, but forced to marry, things got a whole lot worse for her. Things go from bad to worse when she realizes her unwilling baby daddy was the son of a cruel but complicated Mafia Don and she finds herself in a dangerous world she wouldn't have ever willingly entered. This is a dark tale of two young adults in over their heads.
