Harlem Anika James grew up tough on the streets of Columbus, Ohio. After losing her parents in a tragic car crash, the only family she could count on was her older brother Tyler and her big sister Avaia. By the time Harlem turned fourteen, Tyler had already put her up on game, teaching her how to handle a weapon. One night, a shootout broke out, and when shots were fired at her brother, Harlem pulled the trigger out of fear and instinct. In that split second, she locked eyes with a young man - but never thought she'd see him again. Nine years later, Harlem's world spins when she finds herself falling for Kyzier Symere Jeane, thanks to her best friend Xialani Jones and the crew of guys she runs with. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the two keep their relationship lowkey for months, living off stolen moments and secrets. But everything comes crashing down when Harlem discovers the truth - Kyzier is not only one of Tyler's opps, but also the same boy she shot at all those years ago. Now Harlem is caught between love, loyalty, and a past that won't stay buried.
