Julissa Mobley-Cobbs is Houston's it-girl-model turned mogul, married to a high-profile music executive, and the face of a haircare empire built from grit and hustle. But behind the designer gowns and flawless PR lies a marriage on the edge and a betrayal that could shatter everything.
Tah'ri Lane is the pop world's newest obsession-half Chinese, half Black, all fire. But fame has a price. Her wild nights and viral meltdowns are starting to overshadow her talent, and Julissa's husband Victor might be the only one who can save her before the industry chews her up for good.
Then there's sixteen-year-old Whitney Vazquez-smart, hungry, and fresh out of the group home system. When Julissa offers her a lifeline, Whitney jumps-but the streets don't let go easy, and one wrong move could destroy her shot at something real.
In a city where image is everything and loyalty is tested daily, these three women will have to decide who they're willing to protect-and who they're ready to burn.
Fast-paced, raw, and dripping in style, this novel is a front-row ticket to the rise, fall, and reinvention of women who refuse to break.
