He’s the bond broker who broke her heart.

Millicent “Nina-Marie” Jackson isn’t looking back— she’s looking forward. As the daughter of South-Hurst’s most polished political and legal dynasty— legacy and power is in her blood… but it’s also the weight on her back. After walking away from the man who broke her heart and the family that nearly broke her spirit, Nina’s betting on herself—and building a beauty empire all her own.

Until Andre “Dre” Coleman slides back in like he never left.

Polished, powerful, and always three moves ahead, Andre Coleman makes million-dollar deals by day and keeps the city’s dirtiest secrets by night. He built his empire with charm, strategy, and silence. The Syndicate’s money man and the city’s clean-cut king of finance. Nina? She was his only soft spot. Now she’s back in his life, and the chemistry between them still burns hot enough to scorch everything in its path.

But someone is watching.
Plotting.
A threat moving in the shadows, ready to burn it all down.

As old wounds reopen and new enemies emerge, Nina and Dre find themselves caught between passion, power, and the past

Secrets. Manipulation. Money. Chaos.

This is Beauty & Bonds—where love tests your limits, and your loyalty.","spice","series_order",3,"average_rating","reviews_count",0,"editions_count",1,"contributors",[],"authors",[84],"Beauty & Bonds","edition_id","1c41cafc-8329-4880-856a-3c673c1f8248","series",{"_13":81,"_19":82,"_83":25},"year",2025,"first_published","Jun 2025","likes_count","collections_count","slug","126-beauty-bonds","format",{"_19":25,"_75":76,"_77":78,"_79":80},"page_count",478,"duration","published_date","June 6, 2025","isbn","asin","B0FC67L4PM","hex_code","#2e2219","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/126i/1c41cafc-8329-4880-856a-3c673c1f8248.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_68":69,"_70":71},"tags",[],"ratings",{},"recommend",{"_72":28,"_73":28,"_74":28},"yes","no","maybe","name","Kindle","type","print","audio",false,"The South-Hurst Syndicate","afd5b4c3-85be-499c-b437-55c62a7be742","order",{"_19":85,"_75":86,"_46":87,"_88":-5,"_89":-5,"_90":91,"_92":93},"c5efb7d9-c2b9-40ed-94ba-ef37374dc4cf","Dominique Black","19-dominique-black","biography","image","books_count",8,"roles",[94],"author","isLoggedIn",["P",96],"result","seo",{"_13":101,"_102":103,"_21":104,"_105":106,"_107":12,"_108":109,"_110":111},"user","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s | Blackauthored","Blackauthored is a platform for authors to share their work.","handle","@shopify","url","robots",{"_132":80,"_133":80},"jsonLd",{"_112":113,"_114":115,"_75":101,"_116":117,"_118":119,"_107":12,"_120":121},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://blackauthored.com/logo.png","sameAs",[127,128,129,130,131],"potentialAction",{"_114":122,"_123":124,"_125":126},"SearchAction","target","https://blkath.blackauthored.com/books/126-beauty-bonds/feedsearch?q={search_term}","query","required name='search_term'","https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
