Lust & Hip Hop (The Ms. Mogul Series)

Book excerpt: Angelique is a naturally beautiful woman who is full of ambition. When she relocates to New York for her job, she is optimistic about finding Mr. Right. But even in a city with millions of singles, her chaotic work schedule and chronic bad luck with men are a toxic combination. Angelique decides to put love on pause to focus on making partner at her Fortune 500 management consulting firm. However, corporate America’s maze of glass ceilings leave her disillusioned. One day, a business proposition from her co-worker Mona changes everything. Angelique and Mona’s first client is Mandingo Records, a label owned by the multi-millionaire, hip hop mogul, Big Buck. His world of raw lyrics, diamond encrusted grills, scantily clad video vixens, drugs and wild parties overwhelm Angelique. A typical day at the office is chocked full of the kind of drama she never dreamed of. Right on the brink of calling it quits, she catches the eye of the label’s biggest star, the king of hip hop, Vertigo. Long before he acquired his fame and fortune, Vertigo relied on his good looks and hazel eyes to charm women. They literally bent over backwards and sideways to please him without much effort on his part. Now that he’s a double-platinum selling artist, females are willing to go to new extremes to get his attention. But Angelique is unlike any woman he’s ever known. She challenges him in a way he’s not accustomed to. Can Vertigo and Angelique listen to their hearts, or will haters get in the way? In this first installment of the Ms. Mogul Series, love and loyalties are put to the ultimate test.
