La’Belle Evans lives by one rule: take from men before they take from you.

She learned the game from her mother and never once let a man get close enough to cost her anything.
Then she meets Cardez Montague, next in line to the biggest crime family in New York, and decides he’s going to be the biggest lick of her life.

What she doesn’t count on is falling for him. And when she decides to come clean, Cardez already knows everything.

She wanted his money.
He wants forever.

Roxanne Taylor is a New York-bred, Baltimore-based Black indie romance author writing fast-paced, steamy urban and contemporary romance for readers who want heat, heart, and characters who feel undeniably real. She brings a distinct lens to her stories — writing characters who are over 35, reminding us that age doesn’t mean you have it all figured out. Her characters are navigating power, passion, and love that doesn’t wait until your life’s in order.

When she’s not reading or writing, she’s hanging out with her husband or drinking a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc with her friends.
