“Desperate Housewife” by Cydney Rax

Carmen Foster thinks she has it all — a perfect house, kids, and marriage — until she stumbles upon suggestive texts from her husband, Forrest, to his former partner Toni, who desperately wants him back. Carmen begins a relationship of her own, but when scheming Toni threatens to reveal her secret, the plan for revenge takes an unexpected turn.

“Sinful” by Niobia Bryant

A psychologist specialising in addiction, Brie Bailey is surprised to find that her work is affecting her personal life in unexpected ways. When her impulsive behaviour leads her into a web of danger, her life begins to spin out of control.

“L.A. Confidential” by Grace Octavia

Stevie Silver, Black Hollywood's sitcom sweetheart, is in for a run of very bad luck. Her ambitious assistant, Kristine, has her sights set on Stevie's career — and on her television producer husband. When a series of betrayals comes to a head, more than stardom is at stake.
