Carteay Hoyt is one of the biggest names in R&B. She’s beautiful. She’s talented. She’s trapped in a contract that owns her soul. If that isn’t bad enough, she’s in a toxic fake relationship with the hottest rapper in the game, Cy the Great. To the world, her life is a dream. Behind closed doors, her reality is a nightmare.
The one person who truly sees her is her friend Kannon Glover, the cynical bodyguard who found his way into her life by chance. He’s not a crazed fan. He’s not on the label’s payroll. He’s just a man willing to stand in the gap for her. Kannon is the only constant in her chaotic life.
When one night of recklessness starts to blur the lines between protection and passion, Carteay is torn between the man and the life the world says she should want, and the one she can’t get over. All she asked for is one week to breathe and something fun with no strings. Kannon gave her safety and a soft place to land. Their chemistry is undeniable, but if the label or Cy finds out where she’s hiding, it could cost them everything. What happens when the only way out is to risk it all?
