Streets Of Temptation: An Urban Standalone

Clad in hurt and pain, twenty-four year old Allure has completely bolted her heart and shut off her emotions, except for a select few—to hell with everyone else. With her brash personality and rude attitude, she is constantly operating in survivor-mode while working as a massage therapist at a lavish spa. When her favorite customer offers her an intriguing and tempting opportunity, Allure grabs the chance to increase her bank account. When a run-in with another customer piques her interest, will it be enough to thaw out her cold heart and icy demeanor? Or will Allure prevent anyone from interfering with her lust and love of money?

Twenty-three year old Devyn is the proud mother of two-year-old Ethan. She works as a bartender to take care of them, including her deadbeat, wanna-be rapper baby daddy, Tremaine. After meeting Allure while bartending, an altercation ensues, resulting in her being fired, prompting Allure to extend a job proposal. Accepting the coveted position, Devyn soon discovers how quickly things can flip when a work engagement turns into a nightmarish incident and ends in a grim and bloody night. When Devyn becomes mesmerized by Allure’s cousin, Shiloh, he provides her with peace and love like she’s never known. But will she let her craving and yearning for money destroy everything that she’s earned?

The saying goes, “Money is the root of all evil.” However, Allure and Devyn learn just how false that statement is—greed, desire, and the lure of money are. Sex certainly sells. But the fantasy and illusion of sex with a beautiful woman is just as dangerous. And both Allure and Devyn don’t fully understand the consequences of playing in the devil’s lair until it’s too late. Set in the streets of New York, best-selling authors Shari B. and Aleisha Dawn bring you a vocative, salacious, and sensual African American urban hood collab that is capped by the enticement of money, sex, love, temptation, blackmail, and murder.
