"She thought she was testing his condoms. Turns out, he was testing her heart." Description: Serenity never expected a job offer to change her life. Hired by Maddox Kane-an unhinged, but brilliant Black gangster-inventor to personally test his line of revolutionary condoms, she stepped into a world of danger, luxury, and raw desire. What started as business quickly spirals into obsession. Maddox's genius mind is matched only by his dark, possessive hunger for Serenity. He spoils her with cars, diamonds, and love she never thought she deserved-yet beneath his brilliance simmers a madness he fights to control. But when passion breaks past the latex and spills into something real, Serenity finds herself not being just his tester. She's his forever. Caught between genius and insanity, between invention and obsession, Serenity must decide if she can handle being loved by a man who doesn't just want her... he needs her. This is more than urban romance-it's a dangerous, freaky love story about sex, power, and the kind of man who doesn't give his heart... he takes yours.

"Why won't you let me touch you?," I insisted turning around to face him. "It's just the way things are. You just can't," he stated stubbornly.

I was not going to let him see how weak I was. "Do you even love me?," I countered. "Ashanti, I told you I can't love. I'm incapable of loving you or anyone else," he says staring me in my eyes. "I'm going to get my clothes and go," I said numbly. Before I could move an inch, my back was crushed against the cold, hard surface of a wall. I looked up into Lamonte's eyes as he whispered, "You're mine. You're not leaving you can't leave." "You can't love me. Why would I stay?," I breathed. A love story that is beyond different.
