Sapphire

They call her Sapphire. Queen of the stage at Atlanta's most exclusive gentlemen's club, she's an untouchable fantasy of silk and sin. By day, she's Saphyia Floyd, a brilliant nursing student with a will of iron, building a life on her own terms. She sells dreams for cash, but she never buys into them. Her independence is the only thing she trusts.
Until he walks in.
Ricardo "Rico" Santiago is not like the other men who throw money at her feet. He's a king in a world of shadows, a man who radiates a power that is both terrifying and magnetic. He doesn't just want a private dance; he wants the dancer. All of her.
His obsession becomes a dangerous siege on her carefully constructed world. He sees the fire in her, the queen hiding behind the glass, and decides he's the only one worthy of her throne. When the brutal consequences of her past and his present collide in a storm of violence, Saphyia finds her only salvation in the one man she can't escape.
But in a world of predators, the only thing more dangerous than his obsession is her surrender. Is he her savior, or just a more beautiful monster?
