The Obsidian Empire Reserve (The Bella Musa Stories)

By Sandra M. Holliday

Simone Bellamy is a master architect who refuses to be owned. Having built her reputation brick by painful brick, she is ready to unveil her crowning achievement: The Obsidian Empire Reserve, an extraordinary Brooklyn sanctuary dedicated to Black art, culture, and sovereign legacy.

Elias Thorne has spent years escaping the toxic shadow of his father's billion-dollar real-estate dynasty. Choosing honest craftsmanship over corporate power, he finds in Simone a woman whose brilliance, independence, and determination match his own.

But billionaire developer Arthur Thorne refuses to surrender control. When he launches a ruthless campaign of sabotage against the Reserve, Simone and Elias must stand together to protect everything they have built. Armed with architectural genius, hard-earned courage, and an unbreakable bond, they will prove that true power is not inherited or hoarded-it is created on your own terms.

A sophisticated contemporary romance about Black excellence, artistic legacy, mature love, and the courage to build an empire without surrendering your soul.
