Baby, this book should have been called "Gold has her way...lol", because that she did.

I was happy for this baby and scared all at the same.

There was a lot of hootin and hollerin' in this episode.

Parts 1 and 2 are in the Black Girl Book Club Podcast private group (off of Facebook, the link is below).

GOLD BADEAUX is back, and her journey navigating life and love picks up where it left off. In the aftermath of a whirlwind romance that abruptly crashed, Gold finds herself in the grips of heartbreak, all while charting new territory.

And she’s determined to do just that, but old habits die hard, and the heart wants what the heart wants. But still, could fate have other plans? A new forbidden love has entered the picture, and

Gold takes the gamble, causing a ricochet of unintended consequences.Follow the unforgettable Gold and all the returning players as her story of grit, glam, drama, and power continues.

What happens when a fighter meets a fighter who doesn't know they can fight? Let's talk about it.

Lovie Sinclair is on the run.

After narrowly escaping a volatile relationship, the former NFL WAG is a shell of herself. Her once glamorous life feels like a bad dream. Emotionally numb, broke, and desperate to disappear, she returns home to heal, but something about home feels different. She just can’t put her finger on what’s changed.

Then she meets Rich Lovelace.

Insular and intimidating, Rich is the embodiment of danger. He doesn’t know how to run from anything or anyone. Born into a family of rugged street fighters, he confronts all of his problems head on—well, all except for one.

When Rich catches Lovie in a compromising position, the two clash in an intense encounter. Afterwards, everything about Rich that should scare Lovie piques her curiosity, while everything Rich likes about Lovie keeps him holding her at arm’s length. Eventually, they find themselves tangled in a fiery, forbidden friendship that snowballs into a passionate love affair.

Together, they’re pulled into a dangerous web of lust, secrets, and extortion that threatens to shatter Lovie’s fragile healing journey and force Rich to confront the one problem he can’t fight. But when desire collides with danger, someone always pays a price.
Content Note: This is a standalone adult contemporary romance that contains mature themes and subjects that may be disturbing to some readers.
