First Lady Games

Book I

In First Lady Games, Kyina Q. Routt delivers a riveting, high-stakes, slow-burn romance wrapped in holy oil, designer heels, and Texas-sized secrets.

Valarie Bennett isn’t your average preacher’s wife—she’s a fierce, faith-rooted businesswoman with a past that tried to break her and a mouth that never stays silent when the stakes are high.

Pastor Dalton Matthews, Underneath that clerical collar is a billionaire real estate king with a past, a plan, and a heart that only beat steadily when she was near.

When their worlds collided, so did the whispers: church mothers side-eyeing in sequins, salty exes creeping back from the shadows, and a Southern congregation that loves its gossip almost as much as its gospel.

First Lady Games serves heart, heat, and holy warfare.This is not your average church love story.

This is war in stilettos.

This is redemption, Black love, and bold power plays.

And honey… once you open this book, you won’t be able to put it down.
