The Sins of Silk: Intimacy has a price. Truth has a consequence (The Crescent Moon Chronicles)
One baby. Two mothers. A twenty-year lie.
In 2001, inside a Chicago booth reeking of menthol smoke and shredded desperation, a transaction was signed in the shadows. A son was traded for a sanctuary. A legacy was bought to bury a sin. They called it The Pact.
Twenty years later, the "Silk" of the Chicago North Shore and the "Steel" of a Manhattan law firm are beginning to fray.
Aisha Whitaker has spent two decades architecting a masterpiece of affluence, only to find herself living in a mausoleum of her own design. When a lingering scent and a digital audit expose her husband's betrayal, the "Shield" is ready to liquidate the Whitaker brand once and for all.
Kiana Jackson, the project girl who became a Gold Coast Madame, finds that even a million-dollar rotation can't buy back the motherhood she sold. Locked in a marriage that was only ever a corporate alibi, she is a "distressed asset" on the verge of a total market collapse.
Raven Steele is the "Black Widow" of Midtown-a Harvard-trained auditor with the soul of a barrio survivor. She doesn't just manage secrets; she liquidates them. Raven is the ghost of a dead man's past, and she's performing a hostile takeover of a world built on the bodies of the innocent.
From the turquoise traps of the Caribbean to the un-gentrified truth of 125th Street in Harlem, The Sins of Silk is a high-stakes forensic biopsy of the global elite. In a world where intimacy is a contract and identity is a negotiable price, these three women are about to find out that while the Silk can hide the Sin, the dye never truly washes off.
