In the heart of South Philly, where sirens sing lullabies and loyalty can get you killed, Zion Carter is a man trying to outrun his past. Once the go-to for the city's deadliest plug, he walked away after his little brother died from the same poison he used to push. Now sober, silent, and scarred, Zion is fighting for peace until he meets her. Raina Ellis is the kind of beautiful that makes men lose their minds, but she's spent her whole life trying not to lose hers. Raised in the system, shaped by abuse, and numbed by the pills she swore she'd quit, she's got a body built to distract and a heart too bruised to touch. Love? That's not in her vocabulary. Survival is. When their worlds collide in a smoky club, it's supposed to be nothing. A stare. A spark. A mistake. But what begins as curiosity becomes connection, and what should've been temporary turns tender. Together, they navigate the sharp edges of trauma, addiction, and the streets that still want blood. But the block don't let go easy. And loving someone while you're learning how to save yourself? That's the real war.

Ari Fletcher knows how to turn heads-and not just with her looks. Raised in Chicago, she's built herself from the ground up, surviving heartbreak, hustling through setbacks, and emerging as a woman who doesn't take orders from anyone. Except now, she does. Because her new job as a bottle girl at one of New York's hottest clubs comes with one complication: her boss. Dave East isn't just the owner of the club-he's Harlem royalty. A rapper turned entrepreneur, Dave's got the city in his palm and a past that taught him never to trust too easily. He's cool, calculated, and completely uninterested in distractions. Until Ari walks in. She's bold. She's beautiful. And she's got him twisted in ways he swore he'd never allow. Ari's used to being the one in control, but Dave's presence throws her off balance. She tries to keep it professional, but the tension between them simmers hotter than the bottles she carries. "But... you're my boss," Ari says, her voice low, her guard cracking. "I don't care," Dave replies, eyes locked on hers. "I never did."

And I hate that you don't think I belong to you.
