But when she gets bored in rural Santo Domingo, she escapes on a sugar daddy adventure to Puerto Rico. Her new life is one endless party, until she's caught in Hurricane Maria--and witnesses the brutal collision of colonization and climate change, as well as the international vultures who plunder the tragedy for a financial killing, making shady use of relief funds to devastate the island even more. Broke, traumatized, and stranded, Dulce's only chance to get back to New York may be a sexy, crusading journalist who's been pursuing her. But is she hustling him or falling for him? Meanwhile, New York-based mastermind thief Marisol already has her hands full fleecing a ruthless CEO who's stealing her family's land in Puerto Rico, while trying to get her relatives out alive after the hurricane. An extra member in her crew could be game-changing, but she's wary of Dulce's unpredictability and reputation for drama. Still, Dulce's determination to get justice draws Marisol in, along with her formidable Lower East Side Women's Health Clinic's heist squad. But their race-against-the-clock plan is soon complicated by powerful men who turn deadly when ex-side chicks step out of the shadows and demand to call the shots..."--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Hurricane Maria, 2017 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Feminist fiction. 651 0 $a Puerto Rico $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Urban fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518023630.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20211130012429.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061818.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20210720010727.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013626.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200101011153.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20191005012656.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191005010722.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190910011710.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190904010909.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5252E3B6CED911E986F7621997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
