Almost Doesn't Count

Psychology student Isis Jones- stellar student by day, one of ATL's most enticing dancers by night- is about to watch her meticulously choreographed life pirouette into chaos when the man she's loved for over a year reveals his true colors. Armed with irrefutable proof of his deceit, she confronts him, but the darkness he unleashes will lead to far more than a broken heart.

Dr. RJ West, haunted by the death of his mother and past betrayals, no longer trusted easily. His groundbreaking research on Black men's mental health has earned him accolades and tenure at West-Clayton State University, yet darkness lurks beneath his academic acclaim. By day, he challenges his students to question the conventional understanding of abnormality, but beneath the intellectual façade lies a hidden world, cloaked in the shadows of night where he battles demons of a different kind.

With the betrayal from her ex still fresh, Isis is unprepared for the jolt of electricity that shoots through her when her eyes locked on the last person she expected to see in Magic's den of temptation-Dr. West. Lines blur when professional and personal collide in a heady cocktail of danger and desire. What will the consequences be once their paths cross under the pulsating neon lights?
