Contemporary Interracial Billionaire Romance — Open Door, Explicit — negotiated power, ownership, and the honest contract of devotion. · The Arrangement

You May Speak

She speaks three languages for a living. She cannot remember the last sentence that was her own.

Mireille Dorsainvil is the UN interpreter delegations ask for by name: quick, funny, flawless, six hours a day in a glass booth saying other people's words. So when the Upper East Side house Ardent asks what she wants, she argues every clause but one. For ninety days, in his house, she does not speak unless asked. Her word is the only thing she may always say.

Thaddeus Sayre, heir to an old private bank, writes nearly everything by hand, including her permissions. One sentence of her own. One question. Only his name. Each card costs more than the last, and her body learns to answer to three words: you may speak.

Then he gives her full permission, anything at all, and she opens her mouth and finds nothing of her own to say. With Geneva offering the summit of her career, she has to find her real voice before the term ends, or say the one word that ends it.

A steamy, open-door BWWM romance of negotiated power and a woman finding her voice. Perfect for fans of Rebekah Weatherspoon and Tiffany Reisz.
