After two years of being controlled, manipulated, and constantly second-guessed in a toxic relationship, Amari swears off love for good. She moves across the city to start over, keeping everyone at arm's length and pretending she's finally okay. Then she meets Kairo. Kairo is the type of stud that loves hard, too hard maybe. Protective, touch-starved, obsessed with being needed, and willing to do whatever it takes to make Amari smile again. Where Amari pulls away, Kairo chases. Where Amari hides her pain, Kairo wants to carry it for her. But healing somebody and loving somebody are two different things. As Amari learns how to trust again, Kairo's intense way of loving starts blurring lines between devotion and obsession. And when Amari's toxic ex refuses to let go, both of them are forced to decide how far they're willing to go for love. Sometimes the people who love the hardest can hurt the hardest too.

When loud-mouthed tattoo artist Zariah Brooks crashes into the life of soft-but-dangerous club owner Milan Reed, sparks fly instantly. Zariah's used to being overlooked because of her size until Milan looks at her like she's the only woman in the room. What starts as teasing conversations, late-night drives, and tension-filled touches turns into obsession, passion, and a love neither of them can control. But Milan's past relationships left scars she hides behind attitude and money, while Zariah struggles to believe someone like Milan could truly want her. The chemistry between them is intense, addictive, and impossible to ignore - especially once they finally stop fighting what they feel.
