Life has been one hustle after another for Jasmine Reyes. After her parents abandoned her and her twin brother Jason, they often took to the streets in their quest to survive. When a violent episode results in her brotherβs arrest and suicide, Jasmine vows to find another way. She literally hustles to quit the game and eventually opens her own bail bond agency, leaving behind street life but holding onto her street smarts. Despite her hardcore background β and even because of it β Jasmine occasionally gives a client the break that no one ever gave her. One such client is talented graffiti artist Malcolm "Macho" Booker who reminds her of another writer still close to her heart β her brother Jason. Against the advice of sometimes lover and police officer Calvin, Jasmine bails Macho out of jail. For eight months, he proves worth the gamble until he mysteriously disappears. After finding an unusual database on Machoβs computer, Jasmineβs search leads her into the path β and eventually the arms β of Dr. Adriano SuΓ‘rez, the handsome founder of the community health clinic where Macho worked. Jasmine and the doctor turned crusader have many things in common β deep passions, grand ideas, unhealed scars, and even dangerous secrets. As Jasmineβs investigation conjures the ghosts of her ugly past, finding Macho before SuΓ‘rez uncovers her true identity becomes a matter of life and death in ways she never imagined.
