Some nightmares are easier to run from than to face.
Alia Skye has spent the better part of ten years building a name for herself in the music industry. Ambitious, respected, and dangerously close to the biggest promotion of her career, she has everything a woman could want-or at least, that's what it looks like from the outside.
Behind the tailored suits, expensive heels, and executive title is a woman quietly coming undone.
Alia knows how to bury the things that hurt. A little smoke. A little liquor. A few bad decisions. Anything to keep moving and avoid confronting the pieces of herself she'd rather leave untouched.
Then there's him.
A powerful rap mogul with the industry at his fingertips and enough charm to make Alia forget every reason she should know better. What begins as an intoxicating romance soon becomes something far more complicated when love, loyalty, infidelity, fame, and business collide.
And when the relationship she's fought to protect begins unraveling in front of the entire world, Alia discovers that heartbreak isn't the only thing she stands to lose.
Her reputation is on the line.
Her career is in jeopardy.
And the demons she's spent years outrunning are finally catching up.
Caught between the man she loves, the life she's worked for, and the woman she's desperately trying to become, Alia is left with one choice:
Sink-or finally learn how to swim.
