""Street Lit/Urban Lit/Hip Hop Lit,"" (whatever you call it!) is a SALES PHENOMENON and One World has bought the #1 BESTSELLING author in this genre. A trade paperback original for the 100,000+ readers of Nikki Turner's first novel, A Hustler's Wife (#1 Essence bestseller) as well as for readers of Shannon Holmes, Terri Woods, and Sister Souljah.

The #1 bestselling author of Natural Born Hustler and Relapse, Nikki Turner gives up the game that could never be sold, only told.

The lure of Richmond, VA's streets is too strong for Bambi, a good girl from the

right side of the tracks, who fell in love with, Reggie, a young hustler. Her thug

love not only corrupted her but blinded her with the bling and cash that come with

living the glamorous life of a gangsta's girl-until Reggie hit her with a low blow,

crumbling her heart. From that day forward, Bambi vowed that whoever crossed her

or anyone she loved would pay-usually in large bills.

With the street knowledge

she gleaned from her ex as well as her own business savvy, Bambi builds a multimillion-dollar

party planning empire. Along the way she runs across all kinds of dudes who try to

run massive amounts of game, and ultimately she becomes a first-rate swindler and

top-notch gamestress in her own right. Then she crosses paths with Lynx, a young

drug dealer who sees more in Bambi than the gold digger she is rumored to be. He

methodically penetrates her shield layer by layer until he captures her heart. But

is she just setting herself up to be played once again?

The #1 bestselling author
