Aya de Le n's Justice Hustlers series has been described as ""a rallying cry"" (The Washington Post) and praised for its ""poetic and savvy descriptions of women's inner and external challenges that are reminiscent of Sister Souljah's or Ntozake Shange's work"" (Bitch Magazine). Perfect for readers looking for a feminist twist on urban soap operas by Niobia Bryant and Kiki Swinson, Aya de Le n returns with her third novel featuring two gorgeous sisters. One plays by the rules. The other lives her wild-card dreams on blast. But in this sizzling, twist-filled tale, they must help the exploited by putting their troubled relationship--and very different lives--on the line.

A Justice Hustlers Novel

Two gorgeous sisters. Only one plays by the rules. But now they'll have to put their differences-and their lives-on the line, to help the exploited.

Sisters from Trinidad, Violet and Lily have never had much in common. Stunning Lily arrives undocumented in New York and makes her way as a stripper. But Harvard-educated Violet is this close to the perfect assimilated life, thanks to a prestigious job, and her rich bougie fiance. . . . Until she aids a woman in trouble, and is mistaken for a notorious strip-club mogul's mistress. And when she's wrongly accused of helping him embezzle millions of his workers' earnings, Violet loses everything-except the determination to get her life back.

Now Violet's on his track with the help of his vengeful ex-wife and the Lower East Side Women's Health Clinic's resourceful crew-which includes Lily. But a dashing longtime friend hungering for Violet's love, along with the mogul's all-too-real psychotic mistress, put the group's killer schemes at risk. And as Violet and Lily struggle to finally understand each other, they have only one shot to get justice for those who need it most.

""This well-written and enjoyable installment in de Le n's unique, feminist, urban crime-fiction series . . . infuses satisfying power in both plot and character.""
