The Blackwell family doesn't just run the music industry; they own it. Blackwell Records is a billion-dollar empire built on ironclad contracts, buried scandals, and ruthless enforcement. Preston Blackwell and his wife Janelle didn't build an empire to watch it crumble, and they have no intention of letting it.

His parents have made it clear: no wife, no crown. A wife.Hook doesn't do forever. He doesn't do vulnerable. And he damn sure didn't have a ring on his radar. But the Blackwells don't make suggestions. They make decisions. Then there's Royal Carter.Beautiful, talented, and quietly impossible to ignore, Royal wasn't supposed to become a distraction. She was just another artist trying to survive an industry built to break people like her. But from the moment Hook crosses paths with her, something shifts. Beneath the silence, the tension grows.

And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell where control ends and obsession begins.But while chemistry sparks behind closed doors, the streets are closing in on the Blackwell empire.
