Beyond the pole

BEYOND THE POLE

By day, Danni Gates is a college student at Spelman with a beautiful apartment, designer bags, and a lifestyle most people her age could only dream about.

By night, she's Pearly G'Z-a dancer at one of Atlanta's most exclusive clubs.

Danni tells herself it's simple. She likes nice things, she was raised to have them, and dancing gives her the money to maintain the life she's accustomed to. As long as she keeps her two worlds separate, nobody has to know the truth.

Then there's Travis.

He's older, powerful, dangerously connected, and living a life Danni knows better than to get involved with. His money comes from a world of drugs, loyalty, betrayal, and secrets-and he's already dealing with problems of his own.

When their paths finally cross, neither of them expects the attraction that slowly begins to grow between them.

Danni sees a man who could give her everything she's ever wanted.

Travis sees a woman who might be more like him than she realizes.

But in their world, secrets don't stay buried forever.

As Danni's carefully separated lives begin to collide with Travis's dangerous reality, they'll have to decide how much they're willing to risk for love-and whether what they find beyond the pole is worth everything they could lose.
