Behind the Book: Welcome to Risking It on the Wrong Royal

What happens when the woman who sees the real you is the one woman you were never supposed to want?

Risking It on the Wrong Royal is the first book in my Lovely Us series—an interconnected collection of Black sapphic romances about grown women navigating love, ambition, family, and the complications that come with choosing themselves.

Morgan "Rogue" Bronston is a reckless and ambitious professional race-car driver accustomed to chasing what she wants.

Chyna “Chip” Brooks is a casino card dealer determined to turn a shared dream into something real.

They live in two different worlds. Morgan thrives on speed and unpredictability. Chyna needs something steady enough to trust.

Neither woman is looking for love.

They certainly aren’t looking for each other.

But some attractions refuse to be ignored—and getting too close could bring consequences neither of them is prepared to face.

Set against Seattle’s glittering casino floors, roaring racetracks, late-night soul food, and rain-slicked streets, their story is filled with forbidden attraction, emotional tension, complicated family ties, and grown-woman choices.

More than anything, it asks one question:

What would you risk for the right woman at the wrong time?

As Risking it on the Wrong Royal moves closer to publication, I’ll be sharing character introductions, moodboards, quotes, behind-the-scenes inspiration, and writing updates.
