ADDITIONAL FACTS: Nicole has an irrational, deep-seated fear of cockroaches. Except for that one time in college when she ate one just to prove a point.

Nicole Keyes never learned how to lose. Not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't afford to. A black woman in law doesn't get the luxury of mistakes. A high-profile entertainment lawyer, she's spent her entire career staying three steps ahead and making damn sure everyone knows it. The industry fears her name, but behind the perfectly curated armour is a woman who has spent her life proving she belongs. The fight never stopped: not in the courtroom, not in the boardroom and certainly not in her personal life. One day, she just couldn't do it anymore. It didn't ruin her career, but it ended her marriage. She was everything, he was just Ken, and somehow even that wasn't enough. At least they figured out how to make it work for their precious Sasha. Now, Nicole lives in London, running her firm, keeping entertainment moguls awake at night, and burying the guilt of seeing Sasha only on weekends. Meanwhile, Sasha never asked her for more. Because when your mom is the scariest lioness in town, watching her tear apart another smug white asshole in court is the coolest thing in the world.
