Micah Black isn’t here for the empire. He’s here for her.

If Arielle St. James is all sharp edges, structure, and restraint, Micah is her contrast… warmth, ease, and the kind of quiet confidence that disarms without trying.

At 28, Micah’s a bartender by trade, but a chef at heart. He grew up learning how to cook out of survival, but it quickly became his passion, his peace, his way of creating beauty in a world that often felt chaotic. He’s flirty but grounded, soft in all the right ways, and doesn’t need to raise his voice to command attention.

What sets him apart? Unlike everyone else in Arielle’s world, Micah doesn’t want her power, her money, or her influence. He just wants her.

As Arielle herself puts it, Micah doesn’t leave an impression… he leaves an imprint.

That’s Micah. Direct. Uncomplicated. And exactly the man Arielle never saw coming.

Next week, I’ll show you what happens when their worlds collide… and why their connection feels like fate. For now, if you haven’t pre-ordered How to Lose Control in 42 Days on Amazon, you can do so below!
