Smoke Signals

By Nia Lawrence

Five Black women. One empire worth $400 million. And someone at the table who is not who they say they are.

Empress Capital Group built their empire from nothing - five women, one oath, and a loyalty that was supposed to be unbreakable. Nova Cross, Reign Dupont, Zara Ellis, Simone Vance, and Camille Okafor turned hustle into a dynasty. They made the rules. They controlled the board.

Until the board caught fire.

When a federal subpoena arrives with Nova's name on it, the question isn't whether they survive. It's who among them made the call - and whether the smoke rising from Empress Capital leads straight back to one of their own.

Smoke Signals is Book One of the Money, Loyalty & Smoke series - a gripping urban fiction saga about power, sisterhood, and the price of loyalty when everything you built is on the line.
