After Midnight - Coming Soon

Carmen knows what men want after midnight. More importantly, she knows what they hide.

For years, she has quietly kept one of Washington, D.C.’s most profitable clubs running—managing the dancers, balancing two sets of books, paying the right people, and cleaning money no legitimate bank would touch. When Christopher “BJ” Greene dies brutally, his beloved younger brother, Anthony “Ali” Greene, inherits the club along with every enemy BJ left behind.

Then a rival organization storms the club, murders Ali, and begins eliminating everyone loyal to the Greene family. Carmen survives by making one desperate promise: she can run the operation better than anyone they could replace her with.

The club’s ruthless new owner gives her an impossible ultimatum. Increase the profits, launder his money, and keep the business alive—or die. To reinforce who controls her, he also forces Carmen back onto the stage while demanding that she manage everything behind it.

Cornered, Carmen begins lying, stealing, manipulating powerful customers, and arranging crimes of her own. Every impossible goal she reaches earns another week of life—and shocks the man who never intended to let her survive.

But as their battle for control becomes dangerously intimate, neither can determine where manipulation ends and desire begins.

In a city where loyalty is purchased in cash and repaid in blood, Carmen realizes surviving after midnight is no longer enough.

She intends to own it.
