Jolie Alise Betancourt has mastered invisibility. It's 1991 in Southwest Arkansas, and she's the quiet Black honor-roll girl in baggy clothes, paint on her fingers, and dreams she keeps to herself. She doesn't see her own beauty-until someone notices her who never should. Stephen Benjamin Collier is the polished attorney every Southern socialite craves. Wealthy. Respected. Untouchable. He lives by rules that keep his name clean and his firm thriving. But the moment Jolie steps into his world-brilliant, unbothered, and off-limits, is control fractures. She's too young. Too unexpected. Too risky. He's too public. Too powerful. Too watched. The town is small. The South has a long memory. And secrets don't stay buried. So why is he thinking about her instead of his next case? Why is she sketching him like she's seen his soul? And why does it feel like the Angel of Fate-or the Devil's most unforgivable Temptations-pushed them together? As Jolie's talent draws her into rooms she was never meant to enter, Ben must decide: keep his reputation... or risk everything for the girl no one expected him to see. Because loving her means breaking Southern rules. And in the Southern Secrets Society, broken rules always cost.
