Cardella Montecristo had the house, the husband, the name, and the life every woman was supposed to envy. But behind the mansion walls, her marriage to Dante Montecristo was colder than anyone knew. When Dante is gunned down in front of her, Cardella is left shattered, grieving, and haunted by the last argument they ever had. But grief turns into suspicion when strange details surrounding his death stop adding up. Everyone tells her she's imagining things. Everyone tells her it's just the grief. But Cardella knows what she saw. And if the Montecristo family thinks they can bury the truth with Dante, they're about to learn one thing: A widow can mourn and still want answers.

Janeisha "Neisha" Bambi has always survived by keeping a low profile. She don't get caught up in the kind of business that comes with bodies, secrets, and street names that echo. But all it takes is one night-one favor for her best friend-to slide her straight into the orbit of Seven "Saint" Carter. Saint is discipline wrapped in menace. A man the streets don't just respect,they fear. The type Neisha promised herself she'd never look at twice. He doesn't chase, beg, or explain. Yet somehow, he does all of this for her. And when that calm, unreadable gaze settles on Neisha, her careful world starts to crack. Now Saint's patience is running out, Neisha's defenses are falling apart and the pull between them is starting to feel less like a choice and more like fate. He's trying to shield her from the life he lives. She's trying to decide if loving him is salvation or self-destruction.
