Lay'lani's life been hell behind closed doors-pretty smiles covering bruises, silent cries no one ever hears. Her boyfriend Man-Man? Ain't just abusive... he's obsessed. Controlling. Feared in the streets. And when she finally tries to leave, he makes one thing clear-if he can't have her, nobody can. Then Da'joun steps in. Lowkey but dangerous. The one who sees through her pain. He never asked to fall for her-but now that he has, he'll do anything to protect her... even if that means killing for her. Now with a baby on the way, enemies circling, and Man-Man hunting her like prey-every moment is borrowed time. This ain't just a love story... It's survival. How far would you go to protect the one you love... when love itself could get you killed?

This is not a romance. But along the way, they might find love.

There was no time for distractions when you're running a business while being a full-time college student. And there was no time for them when you're a D1 student-athlete either. But when basketball player Trey Coolington sets his sights on an unsuspecting Kali, he senses he has his work cut out for him. He knows immediately that she isn't one of the girls that will pine after him and that makes him want her more. This wasn't a fling. It wasn't just for sex. He was all in on whatever she would give him. But just as relentless as he was on the court he would be the same way courting her.
