WINTER 2023, Lelani Clay has always followed the rules-honor-roll student, devoted daughter, the kind of girl everyone expects to succeed. But everything changes when she crosses paths with Ethan Reyes, a quiet, unpredictable boy tied to one of the city's most dangerous crews. Ethan never meant to fall for someone like Lelani. She's light where he's darkness, a future where he's barely surviving the present. Yet the cold streets pull them together, and soon Lelani finds herself slipping into a world of secrets, loyalty, and risk-one she was never meant to see. As winter deepens, does the bad corrupt the good for good?
