Stop performing. Start possessing.
In the high-stakes world of luxury real estate, a "latent defect" is the rot you don't see until the foundation fails. Jordan Monea has spent her entire career as the ultimate stager, masking structural decay with Venetian plaster and designer lighting. But at forty-two, the "Queen of the Close" realizes the most dangerous lie she ever sold was her own life.
Jordan's journey is a forensic audit of a twenty-seven-year performance. It begins with "Wrong Love"—a twelve-year betrayal by a husband who treated her heart like a flip property and a best friend who was secretly destroying her happiness. It continues into the "Glass Sanctuary," a fifteen-year era of suffocating safety with a "Safe Prince" who sedated her fire to keep his own world comfortable.
For three decades, Jordan faked the peace, faked the moans, and faked the satisfaction. She was a high-performance engine powering a lawnmower, until a digital trail of theft forced her to finally initiate a hostile takeover of her own soul.
From the gritty flashbacks of her escape from a predatory C-suite boss to the raw, visceral power found in her 600-square-foot "Kingdom of One," Jordan strips away the expectations of a world that wanted her small. Her evolution leads her to the Blackwood Tower and into the orbit of Julian King—a man who doesn't want to protect her, but to dominate the skyline alongside her.
"The Sovereign Awakening" is more than a story of survival; it is a manifesto for the woman who is tired of being "managed." It is a journey from betrayal to boardroom dominance, from fake intimacy to an unfiltered, aggressive reclamation of self.
In this world, "Safe" is a death sentence. "Sovereign" is the only way to live.
