The Novel

A Story Where Every Debt Comes Due

Peter-Mack Williams has learned to survive in a city where violence speaks louder than words and loyalty can be bought with blood. Then he meets Raven Spalding—beautiful, fearless, and every bit as dangerous as he is.

Their attraction is immediate. Their chemistry is explosive. But beneath the passion lies something far more dangerous: greed, ambition, betrayal, and secrets that could get them both killed.

As Peter-Mack and Raven become entangled in a world of money, murder, lust, and power, the line between love and survival begins to disappear.

BLOOD WILL BE SPILLED.

HEARTS WILL BE BROKEN.

AND SOMEBODY WON'T MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.

The World of Collect Call

Power has a price. Loyalty has a cost. Legacy is everything.

POWER

In a city that never sleeps, power is not given. It is taken, defended, and paid for in ways no one talks about.

LOYALTY

Every alliance in New Orleans has a price. The question is never whether it will be tested — only who blinks first.

LEGACY

Money moves quietly. Reputation moves slower. What survives them both is the name you leave behind.
