Tiana begins her first year at a private university run by wealthy students and elite standards! Quiet and reserved, she never expects to find herself swept up in the lives of a bold, rebellious group of friends who encourage her to step outside her comfort zone. With them, Tiana finally feels like she belongs.
But everything changes when she meets Liam, the prince of the most popular fraternity in the University. His charm and quiet intensity stir feelings she's never experienced before-and to her surprise, he feels the same. Their growing connection is undeniable, but Liam hides a dangerous secret: he works under a powerful crime boss.
As Tiana's life at the university spirals into chaos because of a guy who has laid a dangerous claim to her, Liam becomes her unexpected protector. Yet as the shadows of his world, and the greed of Tiana's family, close in around them, they both must face the ultimate question: Can love survive when it's built on secrets, danger, and the risk of losing everything?

And when he comes looking for his money, Sasha quickly realizes that the debt isn't the only thing he wants from her. He wants control. She refuses to give it to him.

Southern Secrets Society: The Seduction | #Suspense | RomePi™
**SOUTHERN SECRETS SOCIETY: THE SEDUCTION** *Some secrets don't stay buried. Some desires should.* In Loveall, Arkansas, everybody knows how to smile, how to pray, how to keep quiet, and how to bury a truth before it has time to breath. Jolie Alise Betancourt is a gifted young Black artist with a scholarship dream to free her from her sleepy town, strict parents, and one rule drilled into her bones: never trust a man with a devilish smile, too much money, and too much power. Then she meets Stephen Benjamin Collier. Ben is a respected white attorney with a beautiful brown brick house, a broken past, and a conscience that knows better than to want the teenage artist who steps onto his porch looking for yard work and leaves with his attention. He tells himself he is helping her. Guiding her. Protecting her. But desire has a way of dressing itself up like salvation. As Jolie's talent pulls her closer to the future she deserves, Ben's world begins wrapping around her like velvet and barbed wire. Every stolen glance becomes a warning. Every quiet conversation becomes a confession. Every rule Jolie was raised to obey starts cracking under the weight of what she feels for a man who knows he should walk away. But Loveall is watching. Behind church smiles, kitchen gossip, old money, racial lines, and Southern manners, something darker has been moving for years. Young women have vanished and malice continues to lurk around for its next victim. When Jolie's eighteenth birthday opens a door neither she nor Ben can close, their secret calls maliciousness by her name. Their feelings become Evidence. Leverage. Dangerous. Because in the Southern Secrets Society, love is never just love. It is power. It is scandal. It is a trap waiting for the wrong person to tell the story first. **A Southern Gothic romantic suspense filled with forbidden desire, small-town secrets, interracial tension, buried murders, and a love story that could ruin everyone it
