Interlude - Baldwin Hills Series
Release Date: January 23, 2026
Kelechi Scott has spent years perfecting the art of composure—on stage, on red carpets, and in a marriage that looks flawless from the outside. But when cracks in her carefully constructed life begin to show, she’s forced to confront a truth she’s been avoiding: stability isn’t the same as happiness.
Roman Campbell is controlled, steady, and dangerously perceptive. He doesn’t rush. He watches. And when he steps into Kelechi’s orbit, he doesn’t ask her to be anything other than honest—with him and with herself.
Set against a backdrop of music, power, and quiet longing, Interlude is a story about desire that refuses to stay buried, the courage it takes to choose yourself, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask permission.
