{"product_id":"akemi-rae-anderson-9798180311344","title":"Akemi: Sweet on a Curse","description":"Akemi Baptiste can sell sugar to a room full of skeptics. At Paramour \u0026amp; Co., she knows how to turn beauty campaigns into desire, language into strategy, and a single line of copy into something women feel before they buy. What she doesn't know is how to survive Taj Stephenson.\u003cbr\u003eTaj is all ginger waves, rolled sleeves, sharp timing, and infuriating corporate charm. He challenges every concept Akemi builds, picks at every line she loves, and somehow makes every argument feel far too intimate for office hours. He gets under her skin, in her inbox, and behind every thought she swears belongs to her.\u003cbr\u003eSo when Akemi starts to suspect his attention carries more than workplace arrogance, she does what any irritated Baptiste woman with a sharp mouth and spiritual backup might do. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShe sends the energy back doubled\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e. The only problem is that magic has memory. Desire has bite. What starts as protection begins to twist into consequence.\u003cbr\u003eNow the man Akemi wanted silenced is the same man she can't stop listening for. The man who made her feel cornered is becoming the one place her softness keeps slipping free. Between strategy meetings, sisterly warnings, heated arguments, and kisses that ruin every professional boundary left standing, Akemi has to decide whether Taj Stephenson is the curse...\u003cbr\u003eOr the sweetness waiting underneath it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e*Enemies to lovers\u003cbr\u003e*Workplace romance\u003cbr\u003e*Hoodoo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rae Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798180311344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.43d","brand":"Rae Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174167191807,"sku":"9798180311344","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/akemi-rae-anderson-9798180311344","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
