Talk Me Through It

Jenesis is tired of waiting…
Waiting tables. Waiting on Avery “Ave” Banks, the man she’s spent three years holding down behind bars. Waiting for the life she put on pause to finally start again. And when Jenesis finds out that Ave hasn’t exactly been as loyal as she has, she decides she’s done putting herself last. Then one random TikTok changes everything.

Marlon “Mars” St. Clair is a music producer, mogul, and certified heavyweight in an industry where everybody wants something from him. So, when a late-night scroll lands him on a video of an unknown waitress singing her a$$ off, Mars knows one thing immediately. That voice is money. Finding Jenesis is supposed to be about music. Yeah... supposed to be.

Because the closer Mars gets, the hotter the vibe becomes. And after three years of neglecting more than just her dreams, Jenesis might finally understand why they call that man Mars. The gag is, Jenesis isn’t the only one with something to hide.

Her close friend, Jersey, makes her unconventional living situation with her boyfriend, Rah, and roommate, Lamore, sound simple. What she doesn’t tell her girls is that things inside that house are a whole lot more complicated than she lets on.

Amil, the glue of the three friends, seems like the safest one. Married, a mother, stable. If only her girls knew the truth about her seemingly perfect life... and the skeleton in her closet that could rip her whole world apart.

Three women. Three love lives. Each with one secret that could shake up everything.
