11x award-winning author Paulette Stout returns with a deliciously bold and spicy story of love, social justice, and belonging.
Reeling from her broken engagement, Barbara arrives at an island getaway and is immediately swept away by Sebastian. The hazel-eyed Adonis with the snake tattoo gets her in a way her cheating ex never did.
Yes, he's white and she's Black. She's rich and he's poor, but none of that matters. Until Sebastian gets the job meant for her.
Jobless and cut-off from her family's wealth for first time in her life, Barbara is forced to make her own way. She digs deep, discovering she's far stronger than she could have imagined. When she decides to challenge her old employer in court, it lands her squarely on opposite sides from Sebastian--the one person she yearns to be close to.
As Barbara and Sebastian wrangle with a chaotic world desperate to keep them apart, one crucial question remains. Can Barbara find the respect and justice she deserves without losing Sebastian forever?
