Interracial Billionaire Romance · The Arrangement
The Ardent Arrangements
Three new BWWM romances, available only in this collection. Three Black women at the top of their worlds, one discreet Manhattan house, and three ninety-day arrangements where nothing is bought and everything is agreed.
Behind a limestone door on the Upper East Side, Ardent drafts terms of devotion, protocol and power, clause by clause, between two adults who choose to be unequal inside the terms and equals everywhere else. Every limit is spoken. Every term ends on day ninety. Unless someone says mine on the record.
Void in Daylight: Astronomer Dr. Selam Tadesse runs a telescope's nights and has no life the sun can see. Her term with restless billionaire Holt Varga exists only between midnight and dawn, and the moment the sun clears the horizon it is void. Then he turns up at six a.m. with breakfast, and she has counsel enforce the clause.
Day Ninety: Spring 2005. Mezzo-soprano Gloria Whitfield is forty-two and in New York for one run at the Met. Near-wordless hotelier Anton Petrov holds her terms and has the very first Ardent cuff made for her wrist. Then she reads the clause in every contract: day ninety is a clean end, and Anton keeps every clause, including the one that forbids him to ask.
Palms Down: Conductor Antoinette Danforth tells a hundred musicians when to breathe, and she is tired of deciding. Tom Keogh, who came up signalling cranes over Manhattan, has one rule: her hands stay still, palms down, until he gives the cue. When Stockholm offers her the job of a lifetime, she does what twenty years on the podium taught her and decides alone.
Three complete standalone novels, over 145,000 words in all. Steamy, open-door BWWM romance of negotiated power, with a guaranteed happy ending every time. For readers of Rebekah Weatherspoon and Katee Robert.
