"the horizon so enticing, please say you'll be mine." - Xaila James was always the one who put everyone before herself. so when she met a very drunk Birmingham boy in a club , she offered to take him to her home and took care of him for the night. all she ever wanted to do was help him and made sure something didn't happen to him - especially since he's a famous footballer. she never expected that her helping a person would bring so much chaos , hatred ,jealousy and most of all...love .

Valentina has her life together. She works, she hustles & she stays in her lane, Chicago taught her how to mind her business and protect her peace.

Sincerely, Valentina.

Harlem ain't never had the luxury of being young. At just 24, she already carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. With a drug-addicted mama and a 17-year-old sister depending on her, Harlem do whatever she gotta do to survive - even if that means dancing nights away in an Atlanta strip club just to keep the lights on. She tired. Lost. Praying for an escape. Then one night, fate walk in wearing tattoos, silence, and danger. His name is Kyrie. Fresh out after a four-year prison sentence for a murder he was later found not guilty of, Kyrie ain't just another fine face in the club - he runs Atlanta. A kingpin with a past soaked in blood, loyalty, and secrets nobody survives knowing. Harlem never meant to fall for him. Kyrie never meant to protect her. But when love meet crime, choices get deadly, hearts get reckless, and freedom come with a price. Sometimes the only way out... is letting the wrong person take you away.
