Harlem-bred literary giant Treasure Blue serves up Fly Betty, the third installment in the acclaimed Harlem Girl Lost series.

In the multibillion-dollar entertainment industry, there is a secret society of women that few are privy to. These women all vie for one thing: the opportunity to live a lavish lifestyle by snagging a famous young millionaire.

Betty Blaise, or Fly Betty to those who truly know her, was not in it to be a wife or even the baby momma of a wealthy public figure–she had her sights set much higher. While most of these women use sex as their weapon of choice, Betty, a senior majoring in psychology, has developed a weapon much more powerful.

Up to now Betty has lived her life according to her own strict rules and standards, refusing to compromise for anyone, even if it means shielding herself from true love. But when she encounters a man she would never have anticipated falling for, these rules are put to the test. And when the tools she used so effectively against wealthy men begin to turn against her, deadly consequences are sure to follow.

Treasure E. Blue–acclaimed author of Harlem Girl Lost and A Street Girl Named Desire–is back with a heartbreaking urban love story of two star-crossed lovers up against the dirtiest dealer Harlem has ever seen.

Knocked up by a Southern preacher, Keyshia is sent to live with her aunt in New York, but after a horrific act of violence, the timid young woman becomes ice-cold–turning tricks and finding comfort in a crack vial.

Clyde and his two brothers find themselves living with a family friend after their mother is shot by their own father–leaving her institutionalized and unable to communicate, and him behind bars. Clyde’s older brother leads a decent life, working as a bank manager and trying to keep Clyde off the streets, but Clyde’s younger bro is the coldest killer in Harlem and takes every opportunity to involve Clyde in his infamous robberies-turned-blood baths.

When Keyshia and Clyde meet, they are instantly drawn to each other. Forced to pay back a large sum of cash to one nasty Harlem kingpin or risk the lethal consequences, Keyshia and Clyde use their tight game and their loyalty to pull off the impossible. And when Clyde is falsely accused of a bank hit, Keyshia vows to stick by her man–no matter the cost.
