Recourse

REC0URSE: The Breaking of Him is what happens when the rules that kept you safe become the weapon used against you.

Imani Cross built Studio B on discretion. No names. No loose ends. Just a private space where control is negotiated, boundaries are sacred, and nobody leaves with more than they were given.

Until a leak hits the internet—faceless, but specific enough to make her world suddenly searchable.

The fallout is immediate: anonymous threats, a ticking deadline, and a ransom that isn’t really about money. It’s about power. About humiliation. About forcing Imani to choose between her reputation and her freedom.

Cal Hartwell was supposed to be a client—intense, magnetic, dangerously persuasive. Now he’s inserting himself into the crisis like he owns it… and like he owns her. He calls it protection. Imani knows obsession when she sees it.

With the walls closing in, Imani goes procedural: lock down the evidence, trace the source, bait the predator. But the deeper she digs, the uglier the truth becomes—because the breach isn’t just online. It’s inside the circle she trusted.

And the only way out may be to play the game better than the person who started it.

REC0URSE: The Breaking of Him is a high-heat erotic thriller packed with psychological tension, cat-and-mouse suspense, and a heroine who refuses to be owned.
