Finessed By a Hood White Boy

With her life in shambles, Ava Gray walks into an interview hoping for the opportunity to finally get her life back on track. Between caring for her special-needs child and enduring an abusive husband, Ava is overwhelmed and desperate for a change.

Then she’s offered a position at a billion-dollar banking company—an opportunity that could give her the fresh start she desperately needs.

Ethan Whitmore is already living the life most people could only dream of. A natural-born boss with power, money, and influence, Ethan has no problem getting what he wants. But when an unexpected inheritance falls into his lap, he’s presented with an opportunity to elevate himself to an entirely different level.

When fate places Ava and Ethan in each other’s paths, they collide headfirst.

The attraction is instant. Lust quickly turns into something neither of them anticipated, weaving a dangerous web that pulls them closer with every encounter. Ava knows she should stay in her lane, focus on her child, and keep her personal life separate from the man who could complicate everything.

But Ethan Whitmore has never been a man who backs down from what he wants.

The more he pulls, the harder Ava falls.

Just when Ava begins to believe she can finally have something good, her carefully controlled world starts falling apart all over again.

But her relationship with Ethan is moving faster than either of them expected. Neither is willing to slow down, even as obstacles continue to threaten everything they’re building.

Then tragedy strikes.

The devastating incident forces their love to come to a screeching halt, leaving Ava questioning everything and Ethan feeling as though he’s trapped inside a nightmare he thought he had already escaped.

With old wounds reopened and their future hanging in the balance, Ethan must find a way to overcome the demons of his past while Ava fights to find her way back to herself.

They’ve already survived the lust, the lies, the pain, and the obstacles standing between them.
But will love be enough to save them?
Or will the love they fought so hard to find become nothing more than a faded memory?
