Safina “Safi” Brooks is a struggling writer who works as a personal assistant by day and as an exotic dancer by night in one of the most popular strip clubs in New York appropriately named “Fire and Desire” where she performs under the name of “Angel” unbeknownst to everyone except her roommate who is also her co-worker on her day job. After catching her boyfriend (who also happened to be the CEO of the company that she works for) cheating on her, she gets unlawfully fired and gets blacklisted on almost every corporate company in Seattle, Washington. Heartbroken by this, she decided to accept one of the private dances later that night for the club owner’s friend and breaks her own rule of strictly not sleeping with a client. And it was a rule worth breaking... Henry Alexander “Lex” Moore is the CEO and founder of Moore Industries. A widower of six years, his focus had only been in the company and his young adoptive daughter Rosella and his friends kept pushing him to loosen up and have fun ever since his wife had died of ovarian and breast cancer. He reluctantly had given in on his 46th birthday, with one of his friends booking him a private dance with one of the most sought after girls of the club, Angel. And it was the best birthday he’s had in recent years. And ever since that night, Angel never left his mind... What if the pair met again unexpectedly in a new and different environment where she is his newly hired secretary?

Emma Carter has been crazily in love with her boyfriend, Trevor, since high school. She spent six years of her life being the perfect girlfriend, waiting for the day Trevor would finally propose so they could finally build a future together. It happened. The day finally came, but the ring wasn't for her. He proposed to her best friend of five years, Allysia. Adrian Beaufort is everything Emma has always avoided. He’s an arrogant, wealthy, and playboy who has every type of girl wrapped around his fingers. He’s not just tempting; he’s also Allysia’s stepbrother. Heartbroken and humiliated, Emma should have walked away. Instead, she ran straight into cocky Adrian, the only one who sees the woman behind the glasses. He offers a tempting way to deal with her heartbreak: a hot, reckless night together. What starts as a reckless night of passion to numb the pain quickly turns into a dangerous addiction. But Emma has a plan: she’s going to make Trevor regret every second of his betrayal. She’s convinced that if she uses Adrian to make him jealous, Trevor will come crawling back. It works better than she expected. Trevor, now a married man, finds out about the two of them. Filled with jealousy, he is desperate to have her back in his life, realizing too late exactly what he threw away. But Trevor has a problem. He’s now competing with his own brother-in-law, a man who doesn't play fair and has no intention of letting Emma go. As the game goes on, Emma is caught between the past she thought she wanted and the man who finally made her feel alive. Will she take back the man who broke her, or give in to the playboy who claimed her first?

Crystal Bennett learned early that the world shows mercy to no one. Life has made her strong, cautious, and quiet. She doesn’t complain, she doesn’t ask for help, and she expects nothing from anyone. The only person who truly knows her past is Greta, her best friend—the only family she has left. Then Axel Valenti enters her life. CEO of the Aurelian Group, Axel is a man built on control: power, business, discipline. Cold and impenetrable, he trusts no one. In his world, there is no room for love—only for success. When Axel chooses Crystal as his personal assistant, she steps into a world of wealth, secrets, and ruthless decisions. As time passes, Crystal begins to realize that behind the man made of ice lies something far darker. And Axel, in turn, starts to see in her something he has never considered necessary before: a weakness.

She wasn’t mine to claim—I knew nothing about her.But then our eyes met…She danced on stage, exposed in more ways than just her lack of clothing. I expected to see lust. Instead, I got anger, hatred, resentment. She was in deep with the company I’d escaped, and my presence at Club Swank made me guilty by association.But I refused to let them have her.I’d protect her at all costs. After all, they owed me.Dear Diamond is created by Stephie Walls, an eGlobal Creative Publishing Signed Author.
