Loyalty runs deep. But what happens when it drowns you?
Gregory "Big Tex" Thomas is the charismatic, cowboy-hat-wearing Mayor of Dallas-a man forged by the streets, raised in faith, and married to chaos. His wife, Keisha Hardy-Thomas, once the beloved First Lady of Dallas, is now a woman consumed by heroin and secrets she's never shared-not even with him.
As his political enemies circle like vultures, Greg refuses to let go of the woman he loves, even as her addiction threatens to cost him everything: his career, his children, and the city's trust. When scandals erupt, betrayals cut close to home, and a shocking murder drags Keisha into the spotlight, Greg must decide whether to stand by her-or save himself.
But Greg isn't just fighting for his legacy. He's fighting to protect the truth about where he came from, who he is, and the people trying to erase him.
This is not just a story about power.
It's a story about survival, sacrifice, and a man who refuses to let his crown be stolen.
The Mayor is the electrifying first novel in a gripping political drama series about love, loyalty, and the war between image and identity.
