You ever loved somebody so long, your own voice got quiet?
Lyrehc Retlas was 23 when she was recruited into the "Sugar Game" by her best friend. She was 32 when she realized she wasn't a girlfriend-she was inventory.
For nine years, she lived in the Golden Cage of Chance, a Pensacola club owner who paid for her silence with silk robes and sea bass. But when Lyrehc discovers she's about to be "liquidated" for a younger model, she doesn't just leave. She downloads his leverage.
Now 33, broke, and hiding in the humid grit of Myrtle Grove, Lyrehc is rebuilding her life on EBT and ambition. She's launching "Herb n Vibez"-a wellness empire built on secrets.
But peace is expensive. And when a silent, dangerous handyman named Kai starts fixing more than just her door frame, Lyrehc realizes she might have traded one dangerous man for another. Kai isn't just a laborer. He's the exiled heir to The Sovereign Trust-and he knows exactly who is hunting her.
