About This Book
When Beijing Lee walks into a room, people take notice—and not just because she's stunning. As a luxury hotel concierge, she has quietly accumulated more power than most executives twice her age, trading in favors, secrets, and access that money alone can't buy. But the moment she decides to leverage everything she's built for herself, the line between ambition and addiction blurs dangerously. Relapse is a story about a woman who is brilliant enough to run any room she enters and just reckless enough to let the wrong man make her forget it.
Nikki Turner writes with the kind of specificity that makes you feel like an insider—the textures of wealth, the unspoken rules of the hustle, and the particular vulnerability of a strong woman who knows better but chooses differently anyway. The pacing is sharp and propulsive, pulling readers through Beijing's world without ever letting the tension go slack. What sets this novel apart is Turner's refusal to make her heroine simply sympathetic or simply reckless—Beijing is both, fully, and that complexity is what keeps the pages turning.
