Losin' Control -- Ladii Nesha, Paperback

A Detroit bad boy and legendary rapper sets his sights on a woman whose dark past may keep her from a chance at happily ever after in this urban romance.

At one point, Marley had it all figured out. She was going to marry her childhood sweetheart and have his babies. She knew tying her future to a man whose first love was the streets meant life would be unpredictable. But she never expected her whole world to blow up in tragedy.

Now Marley's a fragment of her former self. If it weren't for her sister, Harper, who convinces Marley to start a new tea business with her, she would never leave the house. Still, Marley holds on to her anger, gaining as much of a reputation for her smart mouth as for her legendary brewing talents. So when world-famous rapper Julius Czar tries to sweet talk his way into her life, she nearly bites his head off.

Czar is used to women falling at his feet. But Marley's resistance isn't the only thing that draws him to her. The artist has a harrowing past of his own, one he's worked hard to keep a secret, and something about the shadows on Marley's soul vibes with the tormented artist. When he finally seduces the vulnerable beauty, he never wants to let her go.

But soon Marley's old life starts catching up with her. As everything spirals out of control, her budding future with Czar is suddenly called into question, and there's only one thing left to do: face their demons together.

Losin' Control is an enemies-to-lovers romance perfect for fans of Seven Days in June and Before I Let Go. It contains mature content featuring explicit scenes.
