They met by accident-in chaos. At twenty-five, Brielle Price has learned what it feels like to pour years into something that was never meant to last. Fresh out of physical therapy school, she's focused on healing, rebuilding, and climbing forward in her career. Love is no longer a priority. Stability is. Perseverance is. And for the first time, she's choosing herself. Andre Carter, also twenty-five, is fresh off his rookie contract in the NFL and stepping into a new chapter of his life. Focused, disciplined, and painfully aware of how quickly everything can be taken away, he moves with caution. Labeled a golden boy by the world around him, Andre knows better than to believe the hype-or tempt fate. One drunken night in Houston brings their paths together in the middle of chaos, neither aware of the impact that fleeting moment will have on their carefully laid plans. Some encounters are brief. Others linger... Waiting for the right time to return.

"I knew I was in love from the first time we met"

"In a city that never slows down, their love moved at its own pace-real, steady, and unbreakable. He saw her worth, she felt his soul, and together, they built something the streets couldn't touch."

"Our love was a case we both lost." When a brilliant lawyer and her ruthless prosecutor husband turn their marriage into the most brutal case they've ever fought, love becomes the one verdict neither of them can win-or walk away from. *** Naomi Carter is a fiercely intelligent lawyer with a near-perfect winning streak of 97% cases won. The only times she ever loses is to her husband. She's sharp, controlled, and commanding in the courtroom, but behind closed doors, she hides a woman who's never truly learned how to love. Nathaniel Carter is a ruthless prosecutor, relentless in his pursuit of justice, and impossible to read. Driven by a fierce need for control, he struggles to keep his own life from unraveling. He's the one man who knows his wife's weaknesses and exploits them with a quiet intensity, stirring both her frustration and desire. Their marriage is a constant battleground, scarred by a shared tragedy neither can overcome. Join these two broken souls as they fight to protect themselves while craving the one thing they fear most: each other. *** #1 in bwwm #1 in eroticromance #1 in blackwoman #1 in enemies #1 in grief #1 in childloss #1 in pregnancy #1 in brokenmarriage #1 in loverstoenemies #1 in darkromance #2 in mentalhealth #2 in enemiestolovers #1 in romance #1 in secondchanceromance
