Her life is but a dream to most, but behind closed doors away from the flashing lights, she faces a different reality. Her record label controls her entire life, from her image to who she dates. Forced into a fake relationship with a pill popping rapper, Carteay feels trapped in a cage of fame and notoriety built by the ruthless record mogul, Ceasar Williams.

Kannon Glover told her from the beginning that he didn’t do romance, love, or even softness. Kannon was the only man to ever see the real her or know her secret. He became her friend even though he was only supposed to be her protector. Even as friends, Kannon knew better than to cross the line. Once the lines were blurred, Carteay knew there was no turning back. Threats from the label sent her back into the hands of the very people he vowed to protect her from.

One distressed call to the man she vowed to never disturb again had him ready to burn it all down to save the woman he vowed to stop at nothing to protect. In a world built on lies, even love comes with a price. Loving each other could just cost them everything.","format",{"_19":98,"_99":100,"_101":102,"_102":103},"publisher","Podium Audio","page_count","duration",{"_94":95,"_96":97},"published_date","July 28, 2026","pub_date","December 9","isbn","asin","B0H5VNGJFQ","hex_code","#1b1f22","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/211i/d9e1ddd3-8fc1-446a-add6-942c378920a6.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F211i%2Fd9e1ddd3-8fc1-446a-add6-942c378920a6.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_86":87,"_88":89},"tags",[],"ratings",{},"recommend",{"_90":91,"_92":49,"_93":49},"yes",1,"no","maybe","seconds",16500,"formatted","4 hours, 35 mins",9,"name","Audiobook","type","audio",true,{"_19":105,"_99":106,"_52":107,"_108":109,"_110":111,"_112":113,"_114":115,"_116":103},"424b0092-3880-4659-a130-ebe07cf1b98c","Tatum James","28-tatum-james","biography","
