Zaire Langston Maxwell is Atlanta's most eligible bachelor. Thirty-two, charming, rich, and fine as hell, he owns a booming real estate firm, flipping luxury properties and stacking millions while keeping his heart on lockdown. He's got a penthouse in Buckhead, a custom Bentley, and a new woman in his bed every week-love is a game he refuses to play.
But everything changes when he hires Selah Knox, a curvy, bold, no-nonsense interior designer with a Brooklyn bite and a vision that turns his cold, sterile bachelor pad into something that feels like home. Selah is focused, emotionally unavailable, and not even remotely impressed by Zaire's usual smooth talk. She's just here to do her job, collect her check, and keep it pushing.
Zaire doesn't know what hits him harder-the plush velvet headboard she installs in his bedroom or the way her laugh starts living in his mind rent-free. Her sass, her style, her hustle... they draw him in deeper than any woman ever has.
But Selah's got secrets-past love scars that never quite healed, and a rule: never mix business with pleasure.
Zaire's got habits-ones that don't play well with commitment.
Still, neither of them can ignore the heat simmering beneath the surface.
When old flings and new opportunities threaten to pull them apart, they'll have to decide if what they're building together is just a beautifully staged illusion or the real thing.
