**** THIS IS A COMPLETE NOVEL! NO SEQUEL, NO CLIFF-HANGER! ***
When Alex’s daughter’s father, Q, is murdered in cold blood, Alex is left picking up the shattered pieces of her life. Instead of crumbling like she has in the past, Alex decides to avenge him by getting revenge on Ahab Miller, the infamous club owner. She plans her revenge by any means necessary even if it means exploiting one of her closest friends, Shalaya, a woman with nothing to lose.
With not a penny to her name and her rent almost past due, Shalaya Adams is in a situation no single mother wants to find herself crashing and burning for the enjoyment of her son's father, Mar, who wants nothing more than to gain custody of their son and whisk him away to another happily ever after that doesn't involve her. Her luck takes a turn for the better when she meets a handsome stranger who's looking for a fresh start. Everything starts to go her way when she gets a strange request from her best friend, Alex, asking her to date Ahab Miller. What Shalaya expects to be climbing into bed with a cold-hearted monster turns into a sensual love affair unlike any other.
But what happens when Ahab isn't the monster Alex has made him out to be? Shalaya is forced to make the decision of a lifetime. Will her allegiance remain to Alex or will she turn her loyalties to Ahab and end up between his sheets?

Cool read
It was a cool read but wasn't as fulfilling. The story should have provided more details regarding Zora and Ra's relationship and the love they truly had. Also the relationship between Ra and Monica, along with the kids. Was the baby really Ra's? Who was the female at the funeral and was that his son at the funeral? A lot of loose ends.

Wow
This was a great read. The story flowed very well and kept me entertained from beginning to end. Just know that this is not a predictable story and expect the unexpected. Until the next time!

Alex had everyone fool. Shalaya had it hard. Mocha just couldn't take the hint. Ahab seems crazy. Janice was a ok friend. A must read

good read but……
This was Zora & Rah story not Shalaya & Ahab as well as Alex. So the versions may be mixed I believe.

Now this book had me from the beginning until the end. A total page-tuner and I mean it held my attention to the very end and left me wanting more. This book is what I love drama with alot of twist and turns and never a dull moment. Didn't see it coming a total shocker. Highly recomment...job well done Tya Marie.

Banger alert!
This book was great! It was intense, it had you thinking, had you all up in your feelings. Great job! There were a lot of twists and turns and I could definitely say that I really didn't expect it to go that way, and I didn't see Alex for what she really was. Very good read! Awesome job!

Exhilarating
I laughed and I cried, the characters were all so real and the best part about this book was that I didn't have to wait for the next part to come out, it was a whole complete model. It wasn't redundant repeating the same thing over and over. An excellent read, I would read books by this author again.

Wow is all I can say
Another great full length story. I don't want to tell too much of the story. Everyone in the story weren't what I expected them to be. I was happy that they received their happy ever.

Crazy
This book was crazy. It held my attention from beginning to end. Alex was just crazy. I'm so glad Ahab and Shalaya got it together. I was surprised to see Devonte lived.
