Isys never planned on starting over alone. After the passing of her son's father, the young single mom has learned to move in silence, trust no one, and keep her world small just her 5 year old son Kyser, her brushes, and her job as a makeup artist. Between juggling clients and dealing with her overprotective (and annoying) older brother Kamal, romance is the last thing on her mind... until she crosses path with Kai. Kai, a calm but confident tech CEO with a legacy to uphold, sees something in Isys she doesn't see in herself.... stregth, softness, and a heart worth fighting for. He wants more than her smile, more than her time.... he wants a chance. But trust again feels dangerous. Loving again feels impossible. And Kai might be everything she need if she's willing to let him in.

Khysen Bennett grew up in the streets with a father who turned him into a soldier, not a son. Violence was all he knew, and loyalty to his dad, Kion Bennett, was the only way to survive. He never questioned orders, until his father told him to follow Saija Fletcher and take her out. She was supposed to be just another target, watching her, move, and pull the trigger, but the more Khysen watches her, the more he feels something he hadn't felt in forever, and that makes the job impossible. Now he's stuck between the only life he's ever known and the girl who makes him want better. With his anger always one call away from blowing up and his father watching his every move, Khysen has to figure out what's worth more - his loyalty or his heart, but in his world, turning your back on family can get you killed.
