At just twenty-five, Kairo Ellis is a nationally ranked UFC fighter whose name alone rattles cages. Not because he talks trash or plays to the crowd-but because he's deaf. Silent, volatile, and notoriously unapproachable, Kairo keeps the world at arm's length, choosing isolation over connection. Years of being misunderstood have carved him into something hard and unyielding, and somewhere along the way, silence stopped being a limitation and became a shield. When a new contract mandates that he accept a live-in interpreter, Kairo is livid. He doesn't want help. He doesn't want company. He definitely doesn't want someone in his space. That is... until he sees her. At twenty-two, Sariyah Monroe has always led with her heart. Brilliant and driven, she graduated early and poured herself into her career after a devastating breakup with the man she believed was her forever. When an unexpected offer lands in her lap-one that comes with life-changing money and a confidentiality clause she barely has time to question-she accepts, unaware that the job will place her in the orbit of a man forged by pain and silence. From the moment they meet, Kairo is cold, rude, and closed off, but Sariyah refuses to be intimidated. Instead, she becomes determined to understand him, not just his language, but the man behind it. What begins as a forced arrangement turns into something neither of them was prepared for. In the quiet between words and the space between touches, walls start to crack. As Kairo fights opponents in the cage and demons outside of it, Sariyah finds herself becoming his anchor-and the one thing he never knew he needed. Together, they discover that sometimes love doesn't need to be spoken to be heard, and the most dangerous fights are the ones that force you to let someone in.

"Mani, you really my peace." ❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚ Imani don't do rappers. Not when attention come before intention, and every smile hide a secret.

Typical Philly hood love story.

They've been friends for years, they've never crossed that line or even thought about it. Right? What happens when they do cross that line? Is this an infatuation or is it love?
