Book Description
After laying low for three months in the Bahamas, Tookie is eager to get back to Dallas. Though he is in the safest place possible down in the Bahamas, he is willing to take the risk of going back. Before he is able to get to Dallas, he makes a pit stop to visit his brother, Quincy. Fully aware of what’s going on, Quincy introduces him to Anson, his brother-in-law and a trained assassin. Anson gives him a few pointers, then Tookie hires him to assist with identifying the snitch. The idea of going back home is great, until Big Mama alerts him that an undercover car has been sitting on her house. Not one to scare easily, Tookie decides to go home anyway. He switches things up and hires his younger brother to drive for him. Everything seems to be going smoothly until Brooke rolls up on him at his house. Knowing that Brooke is back to watching him, he takes extra precautions with doing and saying anything. When his sister, Quanda, makes him aware of the arrest of two of his friends, and Yaniyzah points out the people his father had pictured, Tookie begins his snitch hunt. Yaniyzah doesn’t like the idea of going back to Dallas, but she can’t wait to reunite with her friends. She’s even more excited when Tookie tells her that he is getting her a boutique. After thinking about it, Yaniyzah wants to reestablish a relationship with her father. Everything is going perfect, until she runs into Imani’s father, Montrez. He is demanding that Yaniyzah let him see his daughter. Not knowing what to do, she seeks advice from Quincy’s wife, Kayla, during a visit. She decides to let Imani visit with him behind Tookie’s back, but that isn’t the only secret she is keeping from him. With Brooke following him, and not knowing who is snitching, you wouldn’t think that things couldn’t get any more stressful for Tookie. Wrong! His mother, who he can’t stand, is getting out of jail and Yaniyzah’s father wants to meet him. Not only that, but he finds out that one of his boys is cozied up with his first love, Joy. A heavy weight is laid upon Tookie’s shoulders, and he is not sure of how to shake it off. Will he let years of friendship go down the drain behind an old love? Will Yaniyzah’s secret break their bond forever, or will it make their relationship stronger? How will he deal with the snitch once he finds out who it is? These questions and more will be answered in the second installment of A Hustler’s Fantasy.

Book Description
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.

Pages : 188
Book Description
With the snitch gone and FEDs off his back, Langston is finally able to focus on becoming a family man and giving Yaniyzah and Imani the life they deserve. There’s just one last thing he has to do before he can completely wash his hands of the drug game: turn the connect over to one of his boys. That one key move is the beginning of Langston closing the chapter on his past, but focusing on his future is a lot easier said than done, especially when Brooke reappears and drops a hint that his boys might be headed for certain disaster. Although Langston’s relationship with his mother, Pam, is slowly growing, he knows that he has to put his pride to the side and rebuild his extended family, especially with him and Yaniyzah bringing a new baby into the mix. Langston is all for bonding with his siblings, but he is still on the fence about repairing things with his absentee father, Quinton Sr. Trust and forgiveness are Langston’s main focus, but when it comes to matters of the heart, it will take more than his boys to make him forgive Toot for a very personal betrayal, and Pam might have just the thing to give Langston a new perspective on moving forward. Yaniyzah is getting ready to deliver her and Langston’s first baby, but with Montrez giving her hell about Imani every chance he gets, it’s a daily struggle to keep the stress from sending her into an early labor. When Niy proposes a reasonable compromise to keep the peace with Montrez, Langston’s temper pushes Yaniyzah head-first into a war over Imani with Montrez. While things seem to be headed for sure destruction in one aspect of her life, things are looking up for the renewed relationship she’s building with her father, Don. Her father and Langston have even managed to iron out their differences and are on the same page, but just as Yaniyzah is slipping back into her daddy’s girl groove, Don hits her with the last thing she expected, leaving her unborn’s fate delicately hanging in the balance. While their lives finally seem to be coming together for the better, Langston and Yaniyzah’s friends are a different story. Yaniyzah tries to remain neutral and keep her distance from Shanie to stay out of things, but one small lie quickly snowballs into a full-blown fight for Ro’s affection, which lands Langston and Yaniyzah in the middle of the same drama they were trying to avoid. When it all hits the fan, friendships and loyalties are called into question, shattering the very peace that Langston and Yaniyzah have fought so hard to keep. Join the crew for one last ride as just about everyone finds themselves questioning who they can trust in this mellow finale.

Pages : 170
Book Description
A Consumer’s Guide to Male Hustlers gives you exciting insight into all you ever wanted to know about hustlers but were too embarrassed to ask. You’ll find answers to questions such as where and how to find hustlers, how much to pay them, and how to make it an experience that is satisfying to both parties. Author Joseph Itiel shares with readers his personal experiences and observations, describing his dealings with hustlers, over a period of about 35 years, in many different countries. Throughout A Consumer’s Guide to Male Hustlers, Itiel narrates personal anecdotes, lending an intimate dimension to his general observations. He describes the hustler scene in the United States and abroad, dispelling many erroneous notions about hustlers by addressing such topics as: under what circumstances sex-for-money arrangements are exploitative (a comparison of male hustlers and female prostitutes) emotional involvement and control between clients and hustlers the notion that hustlers are only for the wealthy whether or not hustlers are likely carriers of sexually transmitted diseases whether or not it is dangerous to pick up hustlers why hustlers hustle the differences between street hustlers, models (or escorts), and masseurs legal issues associated with hustling regular sessions with hustlers as an emotional and libidinal sedative It is the contention of the author that hustlers are an under-used resource in the gay community, especially valuable to those with a vigorous sex appetite but no steady partner. This opportunity is often shunned because potential clients feel guilty about hiring hustlers. The author hopes that by reading this book, you will come to understand that the hustler experience, meeting with hustlers regularly, can be mutually exciting and satisfying for both parties.

At the age of 17, David McCumber was stricken with "road fever" that irresistible call to the itinerant life of a professional gambler. Twenty-two years later, he got the chance to follow that dream-not as a player but as the "stakehorse" (financial backer) for Tony Annigoni, a non-smoking, macrobiotic-eating "Renaissance Pool Hustler," student of Eastern religion, and master of the pure green-felt poetry of the dead stroke." With $27,000 in David's pocket they took off together on an astonishing four-month odyssey across America-traveling from seedy, hole-in-the-wall billiard parlors to high-class snooker rooms to high-tension pro tourneys, from Seattle to Miami and back again-exploring a shady twilight subculture and uniquely American mythos, in search of serious money, local glory...and the perfect hustle.
