Legacy & Desire: A Lovers Rock Romance

Legacy & Desire - A Lovers Rock Romance(TM)

A steamy, soulful Afrocentric romance set in 1980s London.

When ambition and desire collide, love is no longer just a dream - it's a reckoning.

Rochelle Prospere is a sharp, driven intern from Brixton, fighting to carve space for herself in a corporate world that was never built with her in mind. Proud of her Caribbean roots and determined to succeed on her own terms, she refuses to be underestimated - not by the system, and certainly not by the man who runs it.

Vincent Blake is a self-made managing director. Polished. Powerful. Private. With a legacy forged in silence and steel, he doesn't do softness - or second chances. But when Rochelle walks into his office with fire in her eyes and questions on her tongue, something shifts. Suddenly, control feels like a fragile illusion.

Their attraction is immediate. Combustible. But nothing about them is simple.

She challenges him. He frustrates her. And beneath the surface, tension smoulders.

As their paths tangle in boardrooms, nightclubs, and shadowed hallways, they are forced to confront not just each other, but everything they've buried - pride, pain, passion, and possibility. What begins as professional warfare turns into something deeper: a battle of hearts, histories, and honour.

Set against the sultry rhythms of Lovers Rock, Legacy & Desire captures the richness of 1980s Black British life - from Brixton's frontline to corporate London, from slow dances to whispered dreams. This is more than a romance. It's a celebration of identity, legacy, and love that dares to take up space.

A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about two powerful opposites learning to trust, to yield, and to claim what they never thought they deserved: each other.

Perfect for fans of Tia Williams, T.L. Swan, and Kennedy Ryan, Legacy & Desire is a poignant, passionate, and empowering novel that will stay with you long after the last page.

Includes a bonus section featuring cultural references, style notes, and tributes to 1980s Black British fashion, music, and community life.
