THE BOSS is book two in
Aya de Leon’s Justice Hustlers series, but it stands alone.
Our street-smart heroine,
Tyesha Couvillier, takes on takes on pimps, mobsters, drug pins and bad boy
rappers in this sexy, scandalous and suspenseful sequel to UPTOWN THIEF. De Leon has created memorable characters in a
complex, fast paced, heart stopping novel that will grab readers front the
first page to the last.
SUMMARY: Tyesha is an ex-stripper, ex-thief turned sex
worker advocate, who pulled herself out of the slums of Chicago and strip clubs
of New York to become executive director of a woman’s health crisis center. She is on top of the world, but one fateful
act brings everything crashing down, and has her dodging bullets, mobsters and
old enemies. And, as if that were not enough, Thug Woofer, the man she
cannot forgive or forget, wants a third chance. What's a girl to do?!
