Pretty Privilege
Shatori Jones has always known her worth.
As a confident, plus-size event designer in Chicago, she has built a beautiful life from her own ambition, taste, and hustle. Her business is thriving, her name is gaining attention, and she moves through every room like she belongs there because she does.
Then Brandon Mack steps in at the perfect time.
Handsome, successful, polished, and generous, Brandon feels like the kind of man Shatori used to think only existed in other women’s stories. He sends flowers, books private dinners, buys thoughtful gifts, and treats her like the prize she already knows she is. For once, being desired feels soft. Easy. Safe.
Until it starts feeling like surveillance.
The gifts become access. The compliments become correction. The protection becomes possession. Brandon knows where Shatori is, who she talks to, what she wears, and how to make every concern sound like proof that she is overthinking love.
Her best friend Jaz sees the danger early, but Shatori wants to believe she has finally found a man secure enough to adore her out loud. By the time Brandon’s charm slips, the beautiful life he helped decorate has already started closing in around her.
Now Shatori has to decide what matters being chosen by the wrong man or saving herself before his love becomes the last room she ever walks out of.
Pretty Privilege is a gripping urban psychological thriller about obsession, confidence, betrayal, body image, friendship, and the terrifying difference between being loved and being owned.
