Josiah Ellis has spent his whole life being good.
The good son. The good church boy. The dependable little brother who never causes his family any shame. Nobody knows what he prays for after everyone else leaves the sanctuary, and nobody knows about the part of himself he keeps buried beneath pressed Sunday clothes and perfect manners.
Then Malachi Grant looks at him.
Khi is everything Siah was taught to fear-a street king with blood on his hands, money buried across the city, and enough power to ruin lives with one phone call. He does not ask for permission, does not accept rejection, and does not understand why the pretty church boy who saved his niece refuses to be impressed by him.
What begins as curiosity becomes secret dinners, midnight visits, dangerous touches, and a love neither man can safely claim.
But Khi has hidden this part of himself before, and the man he left in the shadows has returned with revenge on his mind. With a street war closing in and both families demanding they become men neither of them wants to be, Khi must decide whether protecting Siah means hiding him-or finally standing beside him where everyone can see.
Because Siah may have prayed for love. He just never expected God to send him a sinner.
