Unmanageable: A DC Romantic Suspense

She's running for the U.S. Senate. He's trained to disappear. Together, they become the headline-and the target. Imani Delaney didn't come this far to be "manageable." Not to party leaders. Not to donors. Not to the men who think a Black woman's strength is something to discipline. But when intimidation turns deadly and a smear campaign threatens to end her run-and her life-Imani is forced to hire protection she never wanted... and trust a man who sees through every mask she wears. Malik Cross is the last person who should get attached. A former Marine with a past that still bleeds, he's built his life around one rule: protect the client, never become the story. But Imani isn't just a client-she's fire and purpose and truth in heels. And the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to keep his hands-and his heart-out of the line of fire. As sabotage escalates into arson, surveillance, and a missing witness, Imani and Malik must outsmart a political machine that doesn't fight fair. Because when power starts losing, it doesn't surrender. It retaliates. In a city built on secrets, love becomes leverage... unless they choose each other on their own terms. Unmanageable is a spicy, emotional African American romantic suspense filled with high-stakes politics, protective hero energy, Black love under pressure, and a heroine who refuses to shrink-no matter who tries to silence her.
