LETHAL /ˈlēTHəl/ adjective sufficient to cause death, harmful or destructive. "Damaged people are dangerous, they know they can survive." COVER BY: XOROYALTYWRITES

Kaylani has the perfect life everyone else wants-fiancée, career, parents approval. Azariah has the freedom Kaylani secretly craves. When a night at Club Mirage forces their worlds to collide, desire sparks, lies unravel, and Kaylani must choose: the life she was given... or the life she actually wants.

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?
