Harmony is a spirited young woman navigating the vibrant yet gritty world of a strip club, where she dances to support her dreams amidst the shadows of her past. Following the mysterious disappearance of the original owner, the club is abruptly taken over by Torah, a brooding and mysterious figure with a penchant for control and a hidden agenda. As tension rises and secrets unravel, Harmony finds herself drawn to Torah in ways she never anticipated, igniting a passionate yet tumultuous connection that forces them both to confront their demons and the dangerous undercurrents swirling around them. In a world where trust is scarce and loyalty is tested, they must decide if their burgeoning relationship is worth the risk or if the stakes are too high to allow their hearts to collide.

After a traumatic event, Asia is saved by a woman who is a "dancer" at Suga. Desperate for a way off the dangerous streets of Atlanta and a place to sleep rather than her car, she goes to see if she could make money for her dormant dance talent, but is surprised by who the owner is.

"My feelings for you do not reflect where I stand...and where I stand is not with you, Neteyam." You, the renowned "Operative Rose", had been chosen to spy on the Na'vi's with an Avatar perfectly tailored as you. But doing so is not just a walk in the park especially with a certain blue boy around. As the eldest son, Neteyam is obligated to look after his brother and sisters. Undoubtedly, it had been difficult to do so because, well, he's not a part of just any family. Neteyam's the eldest son of the Sully family; he has responsibilities to do and expectations to meet. All's well not until you came. You're stubborn, close-minded, rude, selfish, and worst of all? You're human. ༺❀༻ Warnings: - May involve sensitive themes - Mature content ahead - Contains strong language - Avatar 1 and 2 spoilers ✧ I do not give anyone permission to republish my work. ✧ This book is only posted on Wattpad and AO3. ✧ All Avatar characters are properties of James Cameron.

"You can't see the future. I might have a chance. You don't know for sure." He mumbled, making her expression soften. "M-my mom used to tell me t-that birds still sing even after a storm. Why shouldn't people feel as free t-to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?" Samir stopped talking for a moment to regather himself so that he didn't stutter, but Nina froze completely. "You don't have to settle with him Nina. It's been five years an-and you're not a-as happy as you should be. You smile differently with me.. and you cry a lot with him. I just think that you deserve to enjoy your time with someone other than h-him for a minute because there's still sunlight out there for you too, even if you can't see it yet."
