A novel by

 
 
Zariah 'Neon' Rivers lives a lie. To fund the experimental oncology treatments for her seven-year-old nephew, Quincy, she maintains the flawless, hyper-feminine persona of a lifestyle influencer. Her rival, Xavian 'Major' Vance, has built an empire on disciplined masculinity. But when a leaked video exposes them both to scandal, their carefully curated brands collapse, threatening not just their incomes, but the very stability required to keep Quincy out of state custody.

Faced with a $450,000 medical bill and the scrutiny of caseworker Zora Bennett, Zariah and Xavian are backed into a corner. The only way to save the boy they both love is to form a marriage of convenience and present a unified, stable home. As they navigate the legal and financial nightmare of the Atlanta influencer scene, they are forced into underground content creation to pay for Quincy’s care.

Behind the cameras and the masks of their 'Neon' and 'Major' brands, Zariah and Xavian must strip away their performative lives. As they battle to secure Quincy’s future, the lines between their business arrangement and reality blur. In a world of high-stakes scrutiny, they discover that to save their family, they must risk everything, including their reputations, to build something authentic.
