What Money Can't Buy

At twenty-four, Aaliyah Harris knows exactly how wealthy men operate. She's watched them try to buy women's attention with handbags, bottle service, and fast cash her entire life. It doesn't impress her. She has her own money, her own Mercedes, and a growing fashion business she built from nothing. She doesn't need a savior-she needs emotional safety.

Malcolm "Mace" Carter is forty-one, fresh out after fifteen years in prison, and completely done with the streets. He has millions in the bank and a new business empire to build, but he keeps his head low. He isn't looking for a distraction, until he walks into Detroit's most exclusive nightclub and sees a woman who refuses to chase his wealth or his reputation.

When a $20,000 business proposition puts them in the same room, the lines between professionalism and a dangerous, high-heat attraction begin to blur. Mace is used to getting whatever he wants, but Aaliyah's walls are built of steel.
