the desire for more. Born in Trinidad, reared in Los
Angeles, and now living in Atlanta, Nia is a writer, a
thinker, and a woman in conflict. She struggles with both

three passionate and forbidden affairs. Each lover teaches

sexual satisfaction becomes a dangerous game of jealousy and
possession. With her life on the line, Nia discovers that
pleasure never comes without pain.

and intimacy. Readers will love following Nia as she
explores the depths of her desires—this red-hot read is sure
