She was sugar on the surface, fire underneath-and someone was about to get burned.
Beyoncé Celeste Cross lives two lives. By day, she's the quiet assistant in a luxury high-rise, invisible behind a husband with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. By night, she's Peaches-a magnetic presence under stage lights, dancing like each movement is a secret.
But secrets can only stay buried for so long.
When a mysterious stranger starts appearing at the back of the club, watching her like she's more than a body in motion, everything begins to unravel. Lines blur. Choices multiply. And what started as survival soon turns into something far more dangerous.
In a world of smoke, silk, and shadows, love might be her riskiest escape yet.
