TWO best friends rekindle after years and become lovers Read to find out ✨

She's got everything to lose. He's got everything to prove. Layla Rivers is a rising star in the legal world-a sharp, no-nonsense corporate attorney at a prestigious Black-owned firm in Atlanta. Focused, elegant, and guarded, she has no time for distractions-especially not the street-savvy, charismatic type she's always tried to avoid. But when her firm takes on a major redevelopment deal tied to a mysterious local businessman, she comes face to face with Roman "Ro" King, a wealthy entrepreneur who owns a high-end luxury car dealerships, real estate, and private security. What Layla doesn't know is that Roman built his empire from the ground up-starting with hustling in the streets. His money's clean now... mostly. But his past is never far behind. Despite their differences, sparks fly. Roman is drawn to Layla's ambition and quiet strength. Layla's shaken by the raw magnetism and intensity Roman brings into her carefully curated world. As danger from Roman's past threatens everything he's built-and Layla's firm pressures her to cut ties-both must choose between what's safe and what sets their souls on fire.

Heart's Desire (Noun) : Refers to the deepest, most personal longings or wishes that come from your emotional core-not just what you want, but what you truly yearn for. These desires often reflect your truest self-your passions, dreams, needs for love, purpose, connection, or fulfillment. They're called "heart's" desires because they're emotional and instinctive, not always logical or practical. They can be difficult to explain, but you feel them deeply. "I feel like for some crazy ass reason, I got this connection with you. I wonder about ya safety when I'm not around and even if you never give a nigga the time of day... I just want you to be happy. I don't even know why.. I'm attracted to you like crazy ma." "You make me feel this way that I've never really felt before and I'm just too scared to go for the ride. Everything I ever said I wanted in a man, you have. Your attitude, your mindset, your maturity-." They weren't looking for each other, but something deeper-unspoken and undeniable-pulled them in. Follow along as two souls shaped by pain, survival, and pride, try to navigate a bond that feels bigger than either of them. It's passionate, intense, captivating, and at times overwhelming. Their connection isn't just attraction-it's a collision of heart's desires that neither expected, but both need. ( MATURE CONTENT ) COMPLETED
