Wedding Party From Hell (Paperback)

When a music icon is shot weeks before a high-profile wedding, an elite Black dynasty must protect its legacy, while the woman he loves fights his wife for the right to keep him alive.

From the outside looking in, they are the blueprint of Black royalty - immaculate homes, tailored suits, strategic marriages, and a legacy too polished to question.

But legacies are fragile things.

Brielle Champagne has spent her life blinded by the family brand. She's composed, calculated, and far too refined to be caught in a scandal. At least, that's what she was always made to believe.

It isn't until Monty gets shot that she starts to see through the illusion.

As he lies in limbo between life and death, Brielle finds herself face-to-face with his wife - a woman just as poised, just as powerful, and just as in love. What begins as a quiet standoff over hospital rights quickly becomes a reckoning between two women who love him in their own way.

But romance is the least of Brielle's problems.

A reopened investigation.
Financial trails that lead back to her own company.
Whispers of a daughter erased from a history she never knew about.
And a father whose ambition has always outranked morality takes control of her life.

With a high-profile wedding approaching and the entire city watching, Brielle must decide what matters more - preserving the dynasty she was born into... or choosing herself when no one else would.
