About the Book
Samantha Givens, is gorgeous, smart, and impossibly clever.

Sick and tired of waiting on black men, with their "pathetic marches", to usher in a new dawn for black America, Samantha realizes that the survival of the race will eventually depend on the black woman. This premise motivates her to take direct action.  Like her mother before her, Samantha has the amazing ability to pair up young lovers, but unlike her mother, Samantha is too ambitious to simply �hook up� the golden girls of urban America with undeserving thugs.

As an option, she establishes MatchMakers, Incorporated -- a secret empire of beautiful, black women intent on taking control of the country through their own unique brand of politics: Pussy Power!  The BBBs - Beautiful Black Bitches - of MatchMakers are the creme de la creme of urban America and Samantha will only match them with rich, powerful, white men. In this way, the BBBs will be in a position to call shots' as the power behind the throne.

Inside the powerful, magical kingdom of MatchMakers,Ink, the youngest group of girls, the MatchMisses' , are sworn to secrecy. If they successfully complete the initiation rites, they will then become MatchGirls, where they will be permitted to partake of the higher knowledge of the organization.

As MatchGirls they will be reinvented; flawless, and will evolve into the highest specimens of Afro-centric beauty known to mankind. They will then use sex to do for black women what guns have done for white men: Take over.

Overwhelming successfully, Samantha has wed her designer line of living, breathing sexual predators' to countless politicians across the country until there is not a facet of government where they are not found. Yet one prize has eluded her: The White House. So with her "if you can make a man nut, you can make a nut out of him philosophy", Samantha embarks on the ultimate quest  to marry one of her BBBs to the man most likely to win the presidency of the United States. But Paris Hall, the only woman more beautiful than Samantha, threatens everything.

Book Description
Jamal Morris had been born into the richest black family in the country, but little did he know that damning evidence would ultimately link his family's wealth to the Illuminati, a secret organization of European bankers out to control the world. Suddenly Jamal's world is turned upside down as the myth surrounding his family wealth is finally exposed. All his life, he had been told that a mysterious, white man had left his wealth to them, but what he wasn't told was that the man was Paul �Mad-dog� Madsen, the devious English banker who had brilliantly master-minded the collapse of the American government in 1933 forcing it to declare bankruptcy, allowing him to make off with all the country's gold.

But that's just the beginning of Jamal's problem. Unknown to him is the fact that the little, tiny jewelry box that Madsen bequeathed to his family contained secret documents that international bankers as well as the President of the United States are willing to kill for. And they're only a few of the people out to get him!
