Imani has spent years grinding at a top-tier insurance firm, pulling ten-hour shifts and proving she's the best on the sales floor. When her hard work finally pays off with a massive promotion and a jump to $26 an hour, she's ready to fully embrace her "bougie" era. To celebrate, she plans an elite weekend getaway to Atlanta-designer bags, rooftop lounges, and zero stress.
But the peace doesn't last long. When she meets Julian, a man who matches her fly and treats her like the queen she is, Imani thinks she's finally manifested her dream life. What she doesn't know is that Julian is the younger cousin of her ruthless workplace rival-the woman who tried to block her promotion at every turn. Julian has a secret agenda, but as the sparks fly under the city lights, the line between "the plan" and "the feelings" begins to blur.
In a world where reputation is everything, Imani is about to find out that the higher you climb, the harder the fall.
