Sometimes love isn't gentle. Sometimes it's a battle- a game played with no rules. But once you're in, there's no going back...

The air is still and heavy with anticipation, like the calm before a storm. On opposite sides of New York City, two lives played out in stark contrast, destined to intertwine in ways neither could foresee.

Harlani-Rose Delgado sat in her pristine, sunlit bedroom, surrounded by luxury, a life curated by her father's name and connections. Everything in her world was polished, elegant, and perfect on the outside. She had the love of her family, the security of wealth, and dreams she could barely put into words. Harlani-Rose was the "good girl," the one who colored inside the lines and dreamed of a love that would sweep her off her feet. She knew her father was a powerful man, a respected businessman, but she'd never questioned how he kept their life so comfortable. In her eyes, he was her hero-the man who kept the world at bay, making sure nothing ever touched his family.

But beneath the surface, Harlani felt the pull of something darker, a yearning for more than what her perfect life could offer. Little did she know, that longing would be answered soon-just not in the way she expected.

On the other side of the city, Jamari Brown moved through the shadows, streets he knew better than his own home. The oldest of four, he carried the weight of his family's survival on his shoulders. Hardened by loss, betrayal, and the harsh lessons of the streets, Jamari had long given up on the idea of "love." To him, it was a weakness-a vulnerability he couldn't afford. He lived by his own rules, an untamed spirit who took what he wanted and didn't look back.

To the gang, he was known as "Joker." There was something wild and dangerous about him, a fire that made him both feared and respected. He wore that name like armor, a reminder that he didn't need anyone's pity or approval. In his world, loyalty was scarce, and trust was a liability.

In a city divided by secrets and power, Harlani-Rose and Jamari were on paths destined to collide. Their worlds were about to clash, sparking a connection that would challenge everything they knew about love, loyalty and the lengths they'd go to protect what mattered the most

A love that consumes. A world that won't let them win. But some fires are meant to burn.
