What Truth Takes

Talia Whitaker has built an acclaimed career exposing the truths other people would rather hide. But when an old photograph reveals that her own family history may have been deliberately rewritten, the award-winning filmmaker becomes the subject of the most personal investigation of her life. The only man capable of helping her is Khalil Rhodes, a brilliant investigative producer who protects his sources as fiercely as Talia protects her independence. Their professional rivalry soon becomes an attraction neither of them can control. As studio executives, family allies, and hidden interests compete to control the story, Talia must decide whether Khalil is protecting the truth—or keeping it from her. What Truth Takes is a steamy African American rivals-to-lovers romance filled with ambition, jealousy, family secrets, corporate intrigue, and a powerful Black heroine determined to own her career, her desire, and her story.
