They Call Me Mello
He’s always been in control… until he meets the one woman he can’t figure out.
Romello “Mello” St. Claire has never had a problem getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women.
Confident, smooth, and experienced, he knows exactly how to play the game and win. But behind the charm and reputation is a side of him he keeps hidden, one he never planned on confronting.
When unwanted attention from NYPD detectives forces him out of New York, Mello heads to Miami with one goal in mind, stay low and stay out of trouble.
Love is not part of the plan.
Then he meets Rayelle Bell.
Guarded, focused, and completely unimpressed, Rayelle is nothing like the women he is used to. She sees through the surface, ignores his charm, and refuses to play along.
And for the first time, Mello does not know how to win.
What starts as a challenge quickly becomes something deeper, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about relationships, about women, and about himself.
Because getting her attention is one thing.
Keeping it means facing the parts of himself he has spent years avoiding.
Now the question is not whether he can have her.
It is whether he is willing to change for her.
