Before the crowds screamed his name, before the league talks and the magazine covers, he met her. Calista Marchand. Not the kind of girl you run game on. She was sharp where it counted, soft only when she wanted to be. Real Brooklyn - pretty in the face, slick with the mouth, and solid with her hands if you stepped wrong. She kept her circle small, her loyalty tighter. The kind of woman who knew how to turn silence into safety and side-eyes into shut-ups. Men feared her. Girls tried to be her. She didn't chase, didn't fold, didn't need nobody. Until Ibrahim Montaigne walked into her life like he had all the time in the world. He didn't come with sweet nothings or flashy promises - just steady presence. Intent in his eyes, patience in his chest, and something rare behind the way he looked at her. Like he saw through the polish and the fire, like he knew the woman behind the defense. He didn't try to tame her. He studied her. Let her be exactly who she was. The shift was slow. She still fought when needed, still had a rep in the streets and in the salon chair. But somewhere between nursing exams and late-night block parties, she started saving parts of herself just for him. The quiet parts. The delicate ones. The ones nobody else got close to. And when she crossed that graduation stage, RN-BSN stitched behind her name and her grandmother crying in the crowd - he bragged harder than anyone. Didn't care who was listening. Forget MVP, forget the championship rings. She was the win. She was the headline. The girl from Brooklyn with spitfire in her lungs, gold in her smile, and a softness only he ever got to see. This isn't a story about being chosen. It's about choosing each other. No fairytales. Just Brooklyn grit and a love that never let go.

After years of surviving under the roof and shadow of her adoptive mother, Audra is finally claiming her freedom with nothing but a beat-up Honda Civic and the weight of her past.

Armani Campbell has everything a woman is supposed to want- a powerful husband, luxury at her fingertips, two beautiful children, and a reputation polished to perfection. But behind the immaculate marriage and Upper East Side smile lies a suffocating truth: Armani is starving. For desire. For danger. For a kind of pleasure her husband, Michael, has never been able to give. When a chance encounter pulls her back into the orbit of Messiah Grey- the magnetic, brutally disciplined CEO who reads her body better than any man ever has- Armani steps willingly into a world she's spent years pretending she didn't crave. A world of silk restraints, whispered commands, and the kind of submission that feels like freedom. But double lives have consequences. As Armani falls deeper into Messiah's arms and under his control, Michael feels her slipping away- and the man who once took her loyalty for granted begins to unravel with jealousy, suspicion, and a dark need of his own. Caught between the man she built a life with and the man who awakens every forbidden part of her, Armani must confront the truth she's buried for six long years: Pleasure has a price. And the cost may be her marriage, her family... or her heart. A sensual, explosive journey of temptation, power, and the dangerous freedom found in surrender, The Price of Pleasure is a story for readers who crave heat, emotional depth, and a heroine bold enough to chase the desires society tells her to deny.
