"At the end of the day, the rules of life are simple: Fuck love. Get money."

Atlanta-bred, Desire Johnson is the kind of woman that hustlers spin stories about. From the beginning, she learned that when it comes to getting ahead in a world that doesn't love you, having a heart can be your biggest downfall.

Strutting into The Velvet Lounge, she had her strategy down pat: turn heads, work the room, and play all the players. But then she bumped into Mekhari Al-Rashid and everything changed.

The moment Meek saw Desire, something clicked. He wanted her. He thought that once he hit it, he would get her out of his system, but fate had other plans because once he gets a taste of Desire, the last thing he wants is to be rid of her.

And though Desire is a woman who refuses to contained, Meek is the type of man who refuses to let go. In his mind, Desire has no choice because the moment he wanted her, she became his.
