About her book Two years ago while lying next to the lifeless body of her boyfriend, Bonnie made herself a promise. If she got out of this mess alive, she would never date a hustler again. She made it out and graduated NYU rising among the elites at a record pace. She was where she belonged, among the movers and shakers. It was here she met Rodney and realized that somewhere the game had changed. Rodney was the epitome of her weakness, sexy, smart and powerful, and if he was also a businessman, trying to leave the game, does that mean that technically he’s not a hustler? Maybe. But, an unexpected meeting revealed that Bonnie had more significant issues at hand. Someone knew her secret. Bonnie wasn’t her real name, and they had witnessed the murder of her ex two years ago. What she didn’t know was that they also knew who put out the hit and that there was a new one. She quickly learns that things aren’t always as they seem, and loyalty is only as good as the highest bid. www.amazon.com/author/noyek www.thesassywritershop.com
