The Hustle — Jon Ripslinger

Five-three high school senior Sean Duffy considers women and pool his main recreations, pool a close second. Then he meets six foot Mari Jo Moon, the Amazon of his dreams, and petite Toby Bryant, the best female pool player he's ever met. Mari Jo is also the girlfriend of football stud Brock Hurley, with whom Duff shares a secret, violent connection that goes back ten years, and Toby is the daughter of the best female pool hustler in the country. One girl will steal Duff's father's prized cue, the other his heart, and Duff will face losing everything in a final battle for love and self-identity.
