Have Mercy

In the first book of a limited series and the first book in KingDominion Publishers, LLC's 'After Dark' series; National Bestselling Author & Screenwriter Trent Michael Baylor takes you on a journey with four employees for an upscale magazine publication. Come inside as the drama overheats, the sex gets fired up, and the tension becomes too much to handle in this all-new novella... For Renowned Magazine staff Felix Moore, Myles Johnson, Amonee Hardaway, and Zoe Cambage; life can throw a dozen of curveballs---especially when you're hiding secrets and telling lies to cover up your own deception. Felix is on the verge of a big promotion. All he has to do is watch his boss's wife for two weeks and he's got the position he's been chasing for years. There's only two problems with that: one, his boss suspects his wife is cheating on him; and two, Felix happens to be the one jumping in the bed of the temptress Elaysha. When a shocking revelation sends their relationship to a crossroad, where will they go from there? Myles lost his house and was forced to move back in with his mother. He has a crazy baby momma in Ciara, his ex, and a strong desire in his co-worker, Katina. Temporarily, Myles moves in with Lance; with hopes that Katina will recognize him sooner or later. When Katina does, though, it turns to be a deadly event on Myles' part as his newly recommitted girlfriend Ciara won't allow him to leave her for a second time. It's either marry her or die trying not to. What will he do? Amonee is the editor-in-chief of the blogging department, although she likes to consider herself the editor of the entire publication. Amonee, too, hides a dangerous secret: she's being sleeping with the CEO since she was seventeen years old. While there's nothing wrong with their current relationship, it's been years since he's backed up his promise of marrying her and starting a family. When Amonee turns up pregnant, Mr. Multimillionaire is gone in the blink of an eye. When the former sex-talk blogger takes a trip to find him, she may have founded her sweetest revenge in the most unthinkable situations. Will she use her newly-found information against him? Zoe is the current sex-talk blogger for Renowned Magazine. Known for keepin' it real and settin' the record straight, Zoe's blog has earned her fame, fortune, and a book deal. Unbeknownst to her legions of fans and the staffers at Renowned, Zoe is hiding a terrible secret. When a co-worker finds out after a heated night of passion, all hell breaks loose. Now, the only thing on her mind is two silver bullets. Will she go crazy? Lies are revealed, friendships are tested, and the power of love and lust is pushed to the ultimate limit in Trent Michael Baylor's 'After Dark' series debut novella... ***Included: An excerpt of TMB's upcoming novel DIRTY, SEXY, DECEPTION; coming December 17, 2013.***
