Nothin' to Talk About

Lyric has a plan.

Finish school. Get her degree. Build the life she wants.

Dancing at Club Velvet was never her dream it was simply a means to an end. Under the stage name Amor, Lyric makes the kind of money that keeps tuition paid and her future within reach. She has rules, boundaries, and absolutely no intention of letting the club or any man she meets inside it derail her plans.

Then she meets Boss.

Known in the streets as one of Pittsburgh's most powerful and respected men, Bishop "Boss" isn't used to being ignored. Women throw themselves at him, people move when he speaks, and questions about his life are rarely answered.

But Lyric isn't like everybody else.

One private dance turns into one unforgettable night, and what should've ended there quickly becomes something neither of them expected. The more Bishop pulls Lyric into his world, the harder it becomes for her to remember all the reasons she should stay away. Somewhere between late nights, unexpected tenderness, family introductions, and feelings neither of them planned for, their lines begin to blur.

But loving a man like Bishop comes with a price.

His world is built on power, loyalty, danger and secrets. And no matter how close Lyric gets, there are parts of him he refuses to let her see.

Lyric thought she knew exactly where her life was headed.

Bishop thought he could keep his worlds separate.

They were both wrong.

Because sometimes the person who turns your whole world upside down is the same person who leaves you questioning everything you thought was real.

And when the talking stops, Lyric may discover that Bishop's silence says more than any confession ever could.
