Getting the Man You PREY For

From the National Essence Magazine Best-Selling Author E. N. Joy, who brought you the New Day Divas Series . . . It’s a new day with new divas!

Sometimes you get to pick family, while other times family is picked for you. Either way, when it comes to being dealt a bad hand with family, you’d better figure out how to win with it.

Paisley Parks navigates dating and family with enviable confidence and grace as she runs an underground empire, all while living on top of the world.

That’s the motto, rule, and law of Paisley Parks’ family, lovingly referred to as The Cousins. Paisley doesn’t know how, at forty years old, she became the head cousin in charge and the head of the family business operations. Loving the power that she inherits from running the various branches of her family tree, as well as the branches of business that make up their wealth, Paisley steps into the role with designer shoes. Keeping a family and brand strong, intact, and in line means that every now and again, Paisley has to kick butt with those designer shoes.

Paisley wields her power of manipulation to keep the worker bee cousins—who desire fame over the fortune they are building—from straying from the family’s standard operating procedures. Other duties as assigned include knowing when not to yield to the antics of play-cousins who could expose the family's high-revenue systems, strategies, and schemes with unhinged, unpredictable behavior and work ethic.

A fixer of family trauma, church drama, and life karma, Paisley wears many hats in her efforts to prove she's willing to ride for family, even if it means others have to die for family.

Book 1 of the Ride or Die Divas series is just the first piece of the puzzle needed to put together the portrait of a family that brings new meaning to generational wealth. Paisley Parks brilliantly executes a blueprint that ensures her entire family eats every day, even if it makes it hard for her to sleep at night.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
