Now that her sisters, Crystal and Ava, are moving on with their lives, it's time for Layla Langston to do the same.
Experiencing burnout and lack of purpose, Layla is ready for a change and leaves Langston Brands to live life on her own terms.
She dares to pursue her own dreams--dreams that lead her to start a new career as a journalist and thrust her in the middle of a murder investigation that just may put her life in danger.
Mason Sterling's goal is twofold -- to get the best story possible and make Houston's local congresswoman pay for her crimes. What he doesn't want or need is anyone to tag along in the process. But when his boss hires Layla, and Mason is tasked with being her mentor, fighting their growing emotional bond is the least of his problems.
He'll have to keep her safe to make a future with her a possibility.

Excerpt
Mason paced the vinyl flooring for far too many minutes. He’d never understood why hospitals even had emergency rooms because he’d never seen anyone acting with enough urgency—and his father being injured was an urgent matter.
Mason approached the nurse again. “Ma’am, I’m here to see Walter Sterling. Where’s the doctor?”
Another nurse walked into the area, and the desk nurse seemed relieved. She approached Mason. “May I have your name?”
“Mason Sterling. Walter Sterling is my father. I need to see him.”
She tapped the screen on an electronic tablet. “The doctor will be out to see you shortly. Please follow me.”
The nurse led him to a more private area and disappeared. How many more times did he have to hear the doctor would be out before he actually saw him or her?
Mason huffed and paced for another twenty minutes in the small space. He stopped short when an older Black woman wearing a white coat entered the room. When they locked eyes, his feet couldn’t move fast enough to get to her.
“I’m Mason Sterling. Is my father okay? When can I see him?”
He searched her eyes for any sign of his father’s health status, but her face was as emotionless as the nurse who led him into the room minutes ago.
“Hi, Mason. I’m Dr. Riley.” She gestured toward a nearby chair. “Please have a seat.”
“I’d rather stand. When can I see him?”
“I’m sorry, Mason. Your father didn’t make it.”
Mason stood paralyzed.
Unable to move.
Unable to speak.
Unable to think.
She continued talking, but the words tumbled out of her mouth like puzzle pieces of the same color. He couldn’t decipher a single word. Blood rushed to his brain. His heart raced fast enough for him to believe he’d need a hospital bed.
A knot formed in Mason’s throat that he couldn’t swallow. If he did, tears would overtake him. Pain settled there. His stomach taut. All of his muscles tightened.
Mason belted out, “No.” Air barely escaped his lungs as he had to force himself to breathe.
The pain in his chest was just as real physically as it was emotionally. His heart ripped into pieces. That was the only explanation for the stabbing sensation in his chest. His eyes stung as tears spilled down his cheeks soaking his collar.
He finally sat in that chair Dr. Riley suggested he take. She’d mentioned something about whether there was someone else she could call for him. Usually, his father would be that person, and now he had no one.

About the Author
Natasha D. Frazier fell in love with love around the age of twelve because of artists like Babyface, Boys II Men, Whitney Houston, and New Edition. Around sixteen when her mother purchased a romance novel and left it lying around the house untouched, Natasha read it and a spark for the written word had been ignited.
Natasha believes that writing is one of her purposes and contributions to the world. She feels accomplished when she can get a few words written and like blah when life gets in the way. Her hope is that at the end of every novel, readers will feel like they’ve been wrapped in a cozy blanket with a mug of their favorite coffee/tea/warm drink.
When she isn’t reading or writing, she is likely watching movies with her family. Natasha resides in Richmond, TX with her husband, Eddie Frazier, Jr. and their three children, Eden, Ethan, and Emilyn. Her greatest joy and commitment is to her family who she hopes to inspire above all else. One of her many mottos in life is: Faith removes limitations. Natasha and her family attend Parkway Fellowship in Richmond, TX, where she volunteers as a small group leader for elementary students. Natasha is also a member of the Houston Area Alumni Chapter of Jackson State University and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
