She grew up in a broken home-
a mother grinding a 9-5 just to survive,
and a father who gave her the world... before prison took him away.
As an only child, she learned two things early:
from her dad: how to want more
from her mom: how to get it herself.
But when she refused college, her mother slammed the door in her face, leaving her homeless at eighteen.
With nothing but a duffel bag and stubborn pride, she crossed state lines and rebuilt her life from the ground up, earning every dollar under the neon lights of The Velvet Whisper.
Comfort. Independence. Control.
She thought she finally had it all-
until Grim, the silent, dangerous owner of the club set his sights on her.
And when Grim wants something?
He always takes it.

Addicted Again (Completed)
Asha Camari Hill has already lost enough to drugs-her past, her sense of self, nearly her life. Now sober and fighting for stability, she keeps her world small and controlled. Recovery is fragile, and she knows better than to tempt the darkness she barely escaped. She keeps her head down, clinging to routine, convincing herself the past can't find her if she doesn't look back. But the past never forgets. Before rehab, Asha made a mistake that left her in debt to a man who doesn't believe in mercy or clean slates. He remembers everything-especially what's owed. When he learns she's resurfaced, he doesn't collect right away. He watches from the edges of her new life, drawn to the woman she's becoming and the one she used to be. He is danger wrapped in control. She is healing held together by sheer will. What grows between them is unwanted and unspoken, a slow-burning tension neither of them is willing to name. He is the kind of man she should run from. She is the kind of woman he never meant to care about. And the closer the past presses in, the harder it becomes to tell whether walking away will save her-or cost her everything she's fought to rebuild.Complete

Heaven Carter is 23, brilliant, beautiful, and bred for business. As the only heir to Carter Global Enterprises, she's next in line to take the CEO seat-but there's a catch. Her father's terms? She has to get married first. Not just to anyone, but to Dominic "Dom" Grey-a 32-year-old Black mogul with a reputation soaked in secrets and power.

But neither of them expected the sparks. And in a world where loyalty is deadly and love is a liability, they'll either rise together, or destroy each other.Complete
