The Work-Husband Caper
Melody Mazyk lives under a microscope. As if being a black female senior manager in corporate America wasn't enough, she's the architect of a most unusual diversity issue; eighty percent of leadership positions under her, are held down by women of color.
As power is the mother of protest, they were bound to come under attack. The attack comes from Dominic Counsel - a bitter black man with processed hair and a fat white wife, who recruits a few luscious men to woo the top black female executives into complacency and destroy this corporate utopia of Black Girl Magic.
Melody and her high-ranking sisterhood, comprising of Phyllis, Tiffany, and Pepper, would never entertain relationships in the workplace, but Tyshawn, Fabian, Omar, and Jason prove to be irresistible when they turn on the pressure. There is, however, a catch twenty-two, most poignantly expressed by one sexy recruit who winds up love struck, "Take an honest look into a black woman's heart, you gone mess around and fall in."
From 2023 AAMBC Author Of The Year Nominee comes a tale that is sexy, romantic and funny, but also delivers on the glaring social aspects relating black women in power, and the men who feel emasculated by them.

The story was built on a strong entertaining plot that moved quickly. You had a few memorable characters, humor, blackmail, conspiracy theories, self-hatred, with a pinch of romance. This suspense romance novel was a good read. (link to full review in bio)
