Envy
She spent her life wanting what others had… until she met the one man who wanted her.
Mykal Jones has always felt like she is one step behind.
No matter how hard she works or how much she gives, there is always someone with more. More recognition. More opportunity. More of the life she has been chasing.
So when Desmond Ellis enters her world, he becomes everything she resents.
Effortless success. A name that opens doors. A life that seems perfectly aligned with everything she has been denied.
And yet, he is nothing like she expected.
Kind. Grounded. Intentional in a way that makes her question everything she thought she understood about people like him.
Desmond never planned to be distracted.
Focused on honoring his father’s legacy and building something meaningful, he had no intention of letting anything pull him off course. Until Mykal.
What starts as tension quickly shifts into something deeper. Something neither of them can ignore.
But Mykal’s battle is not just with Desmond. It is with herself.
Because accepting him means confronting the parts of her that feel inadequate. The parts that compare. The parts that believe she is not enough.
Now she must decide if she is willing to let go of the envy that has shaped her… or risk losing the one person who sees her exactly as she is.
