Description
Forbidden love and the rivalry of two families might tear down the traditions of the South’s elite Black families as one summer continues to change everything for three friends--for readers of Kimberla Lawson Roby.
Carrah Andrews spent her life trying to please her parents and siblings, putting her own hopes aside to work as a chemist at Noir, her family’s cosmetics company. Her dream was to be an author, not spend her days developing beauty serums. Everything changes when Carrah enters a writing contest and lands a book deal. Except she can’t ever tell her parents because: 1) they’d be devastated she wants to leave Noir, and 2) she just hired their biggest rival as her entertainment attorney.
Christopher Chenault is stunned to see Carrah in his law office. He’s not supposed to cross enemy lines, but he can’t bring himself to turn her away and crush her dream, not after seeing how talented of a writer she is
