Ambition. Desire. Power. Bethany’s journey is about to take her to the edge.

When her world is flipped upside down by a brutal breakup with her toxic, narcissistic ex, Bethany struggles to reclaim control of her life in New York City, where survival isn’t guaranteed. She realized there's more to life than just getting by; every decision is a calculated risk.

Now, working at Sweethearts, one of New York City’s most notorious strip clubs, she finds herself stepping into a world that blurs the line between lust, business, and survival. As a stunning, independent woman, she’s not afraid of working hard to get what she wants—whether in the high-energy world of Sweethearts or in her personal life, where she’s navigating the complicated dynamics of power, trust, and unexpected love.

When Desmond, a mysterious and powerful man, enters her life, sparks fly. He’s different from the others—calm, calculating, and impossibly alluring. But as their connection deepens, Bethany must contend with her own fears, ambitions, and the secrets she’s trying to bury. With Desmond, the stakes are higher than ever.

In a city that never sleeps, can Bethany navigate the world of lust, power, and personal redemption to claim her place at the top? Or will the past and the men who want to control her tear down everything she’s fought for?

Hustle & Heart is a slow-burn, romantic thriller that blends passion, empowerment, and the complex dance between love and power. It’s the perfect read for anyone who believes in the power of resilience, self-discovery, and claiming what you deserve.
