Shonette Charles, the bestselling author of NAIL IT: Breaking into the Black Elite and GAME ON, is back with another novel filled with drama, suspense, and a generous sprinkling of humor, as she pulls back the curtain on this world where ladies lunch, expensive toys are the norm, and socialites reign supreme. Finally, Sahara Kyle has made it. When her family moved to North Carolina, she had difficulty navigating the area's black bourgeoisie circle. This world of pearls, poise, and protocol is governed by the most powerful movers and shakers, who hold membership in The Sphinx, Darlings, The Shield, Belles & Beaus, and the black fraternities and sororities. But, the Kyles are ready to reclaim their throne as a black power couple on the rise. Noah's issues at the bank are a distant memory, and his swagger is back. Sahara's icy relationship with arch nemesis Emery has thawed as they cash in their frenemies title for the new one of sisters. And, after standing in the shadows, Sahara is ready to take center stage. As a member of one of the area's most exclusive social clubs, she now has the influence to climb to the next level. However, what goes up must come down, and Sahara quickly learns that money and flash mean nothing when the old guard closes rank to protect their own. Yet, in a town overflowing with secrets, sometimes it isn't about whom you know but knowing where the bones are buried. There can only be one queen bee, but does Sahara have what it takes to get the crown? In this final book of the Breaking into the Black Elite series, it is WINNER TAKES ALL.

You first met the world of Fairchester's movers and shakers, where money will only get you so far and pedigree is key, in NAIL IT: Breaking into the Black Elite. In this follow-up to the popular novel, Noah Kyle, who is handsome, educated, and the first black senior vice president at First Southern Bank, discovers that everything that glitters isn't always gold as tension at the bank threatens the success he has worked so hard to obtain. Although he now has little time to pressure his beautiful wife, Sahara, to join the city's powerful social circle--where ladies lunch, expensive toys are the norm, and it isn't about what you know but rather whom-her new friend, Teri, happily steps in where Noah left off and picks up the cause. The friends soon realize that the more things change, the more they stay the same, and Teri convinces Sahara and Zora that they should try to become members of one of Fairchester's most exclusive social clubs. However, Sahara quickly learns that gaining membership in this tight-knit circle is not child's play, and the process may be stacked against her. Not only does it seem that half of Fairchester is seeking the coveted membership--including her nemesis, Emery Edmonds, a sophisticated socialite on the rise--but Sahara will have to go head-to-head against her friends. The stakes couldn't be higher as alliances are made, loyalties are tested, and old secrets threaten to come to light. But, in this circle, if Sahara wants a seat at the table, she has to play to win, because it is GAME ON.

Black, educated, and possessing all the right stats, Sahara and Noah Kyle move to North Carolina ready to break into the area's black bourgeoisie social circle. This is a world governed by black socialites and movers and shakers, who hold membership in the Sphinx, Darlings, The Shield, Belles & Beaus, and the black fraternities and sororities. Being in the right circle could position the Kyles for even greater affluence, but being shut out could be the death knell for more than just their social life. Noah appears to quickly catch his stride, but Sahara struggles navigating this world of pearls, poise, and protocol. The sky's the limit, but will secrets, lies, and double crossings keep them on the outside of this high power network looking in? Or, when it comes to entering the world of the black elite, do they have what it takes to NAIL IT?
