Sade's Roman Empire

Sadé Monroe had plans.

Finish school. Raise her daughter. Stack her money. Leave Las Vegas behind and build the kind of life nobody could take from her.

Love was never part of the blueprint-especially not with Adrian, the father of her child and the man she kept mistaking history for forever. Their relationship was built on survival, bad decisions, and the kind of loyalty that hurts more than it heals.

Then there was Roman Sinclair.

Quiet. Calculated. Dangerous in the calmest way.

The kind of man who never raises his voice because he never has to.

He walks into her life like a warning wrapped in expensive suits and expensive silence-offering peace in places she's only ever known chaos.

But peace comes with a price.

As old wounds reopen, family secrets return, and the woman who taught Sade what abandonment looks like suddenly reappears, she's forced to confront the hardest truth of all:

sometimes the people you love the most are the very ones keeping you from becoming who you're meant to be.

Caught between the life she built, the man she can't trust, and the one she never saw coming, Sade has to decide-

is love supposed to feel like survival...

or freedom?

In a world of money, betrayal, ambition, and dangerous choices, one thing becomes clear:

every empire costs something.
