Author Description

Pressure Mensah thought he had control. Four women remain—Pluto, Kashmere, Toni Roc, and his ex Ka’mari—and every one of them pulls him in a different direction. Pluto shakes him the most. When Pressure goes back home with her to see about her little sister, Zurie, he’s faced with a side of her that refuses to bend, and that unshakable strength forces him to question everything he thought he wanted. Kashmere is toxic at times, loud, and addictive, the type of woman who can ruin a man yet make him feel alive in the same breath. She is chaos dressed as comfort, and Pressure can’t let go. Ka’mari’s return is like a ghost from the past he swore he buried, but holding on to her is too easy when the rest of his world feels unsteady. And Toni Roc? She is loyal, solid, the kind of woman he could laugh with and lean on, even if their bond feels more like friendship than fire. But every choice comes with consequences… Pressure is unraveling under the weight of love, lust, and loyalty, and for the first time in his life, the crown on his head feels heavy. Pluto terrifies him because she makes him want something real. Kashmere tempts him because she makes him forget. Ka’mari soothes him because she feels familiar. And Toni keeps him grounded while the storm builds. By the end, Pressure can’t run from the truth. He has to choose one woman to continue his legacy with, and the fear that haunts him most… is choosing wrong.
