Can I Kiss It One More Time?

In the high-stakes world of Atlanta’s elite, Kade Monroe is 'The Fixer.' He possesses a lethal gift: he can taste the secrets and trauma of those around him, a parasitic condition that leaves him physically shattered by the psychic weight of other people’s sins. For years, he has survived by operating in the shadows, but his past is catching up to him in the form of the only woman who understands his burden—Zuri Washington.

Zuri, the powerhouse owner of the Velvet Eclipse lounge, is far from a damsel. She is a curator of secrets and a tactical equal to Kade. When Kade’s wife, Simone Monroe, launches a cold-blooded campaign to dismantle them using cartel influence and federal corruption, Kade and Zuri are forced into a desperate, ruthless partnership. They aren't just fighting for survival; they are fighting to dismantle the very power structure they helped build.

As they navigate a landscape of bounty hunters and digital predators like Tariq Jamison, Kade must decide if he can move past his history of self-destructive martyrdom. With their psychic bond acting as their only real anchor, Kade and Zuri must decide if they can destroy their enemies without becoming the monsters they’ve spent their lives avoiding. In this gritty, atmospheric tale of power and survival, they aren't just a couple—they are a new, volatile empire.
