A Hustler's Fantasy

Book excerpt: Langston, also known as Tookie Man, is a cocky money launderer that's used to having his way. Newly single, he is ready to mingle with the ladies. Used to getting his way, he is looking for a bad chick to put on his arm. He meets two ladies, Yaniyzah and Brooke that catches his attention immediately. When Yaniyzah rejects him, he doesn't take it personal until he sees her for the third time. He tries wooing her by throwing his cash around. When she's unimpressed by his handsomeness and money, he turns on his charm. Langston tries harder to break through her wall and capture her heart. Especially once the preciousness of her five-month-old daughter Imani awakens a tenderness inside of him that no real thug would ever fess up to owning. Not really the player type, Langston knows he has to make a choice between the two. The closer he gets to Yaniyzah, the more distance grows between him and Brooke. Brooke asks too many questions, and it makes him very uncomfortable. He doesn't let people in his business, certainly not his women. Yaniyzah doesn't ask many questions, but she isn't letting her guard down either. He does everything he can to gain her trust, while leaving Brooke to unanswered calls. Yaniyzah may be winning Langston's heart with no effort, but Brooke isn't the type of chick to play runner-up. Everything seemed to be going great for Langston, until the drought hits Dallas. He begins to supply one of his boys with coke. Once his name starts to circulate around the drug game, another dealer wants in. He considers supplying him until he learns that the FED's are in town. Being that drugs weren't his main source of income, he has no problem with leaving it alone. But that won't be before he is made aware that his face is added to FED's the list of potential dealers. After a brief talk with Brooke, he knows he has no choice but to leave town. Thinking about himself at the time, he didn't consider who he would be leaving behind. He is quickly reminded when Yaniyzah comes and drop a bomb on him. Which woman will be there for him when he needs it the most? Will he be able to get away before he gets caught up? These questions and more will be answered in the first installment of this explosive series.
