Fallin' for a Hustler Like Me

Khelani Toussaint is the apple of her father’s eye. He trusted her and her sister Anya to leave Trinidad and build his empire in the states while he ran things back at home. The number one rule that he always instilled in Khelani was to choose money over love. She has always done just what her father wanted—until she meets Malachi in North Carolina and falls for him.

Khelani soon learns that is a mistake, and she moves on to Atlanta, ready to make connections and power moves. She vows this time around not to get knocked off her square, but that proves easier said than done when she meets the charming Kyrie Richmond.

Kyrie is making the transition from the streets into the corporate world, but he can’t leave the streets alone just yet. When a new connect comes to town, scooping up a good portion of his clientele, Kyrie wants to know just who it is. Imagine his surprise when he finds out the intriguing woman that he’s pining over isn’t who she claims to be. Kyrie is disappointed and has to figure out how to handle the stranger’s betrayal, especially since his pride is at stake. Kyrie has for sure met his match in Khelani. Will he be able to win her heart, or is she too much like him for the pair to ever click?
