Daniella Maseko grew up in East London, raised by her South African mother in a tiny flat above a Caribbean hair salon. Smart, sarcastic, and unapologetically herself, Dani's always been the kind of girl who moves quietly-but sees everything. While others chased the spotlight, she focused on building her fashion portfolio and surviving sixth form with her head down and headphones in.
But everything shifts one reckless Friday night.
Dragged to an exclusive afterparty in Notting Hill by her best friend Yasmin, Daniella finds herself surrounded by flashing lights, expensive trainers, and the kind of people who don't remember names unless you're trending. And then there's him-Central Cee. West London's golden boy. Chart-topper. Street poet. Heartbreaker.
She knows exactly who he is. He's heard of her too-just not for anything she'd ever want repeated.
A sarcastic comment, an eye roll, and a spark that neither of them expected later... Daniella ends up trading numbers with the one person she promised herself she'd never catch feelings for.
As their worlds begin to intertwine-his filled with music videos, fake friends, and pressure to stay on top; hers grounded in grit, loyalty, and silent ambition-they'll both have to decide how far they're willing to go for something real.
Because in a city where everyone's playing a role, love might just be the riskiest game of all.
