Janeisha "Neisha" Bambi has always survived by staying small. Head low. Mouth shut. No waves, no risks, no getting caught up in the kind of business that comes with bodies, secrets, and street names that echo.
But all it takes is one night-one favor for her best friend-to slide her straight into the orbit of Seven "Saint" Carter.
Saint is discipline wrapped in quiet menace. A man the streets don't just respect-they fear. The type Neisha promised herself she'd never look at twice. He doesn't chase. He doesn't beg. He doesn't explain.
Yet somehow... he does all of this for her.
And when that calm, unreadable gaze settles on Neisha, her careful world starts to crack.
Now Saint's patience is running out. Neisha's defenses are falling apart. And the pull between them is starting to feel less like a choice and more like fate.
He's trying to shield her from the life he lives.
She's trying to decide if loving him is salvation... or self-destruction.
Because in a world built on loyalty, violence, and revenge; love is the most dangerous thing you can touch.
