Julianna-stage name Sapphire-dances under flashing lights and fake names to survive. Stuck in an abusive relationship with Jace, a dangerous man from a rival gang, she's learned to keep her head down and her heart locked up. But everything changes the night two powerful men walk into the club: Malik and Xavier.
As co-leaders of the city's most feared gang, Malik and Xavier are known for their control, power, and loyalty-to each other, and to those they protect. The moment they see Sapphire, something shifts. She's not just another dancer-they see her pain, her fire, and something they never expected: someone they both want.
When they discover the bruises she hides, they don't hesitate. They take her in, hide her from Jace, and offer her safety in a world where nothing comes without a price. But what starts as protection turns into something much deeper-slow-burning trust, teasing tension, and a connection that neither of them can ignore.
Julianna finds herself torn in a different way now: not by fear, but by feelings. Feelings for two men who are dangerous in every way except with her. Together, Malik and Xavier show her what it means to be wanted without control, touched without fear, and loved without condition.
But the shadows of her past aren't easy to outrun-and Jace isn't finished with her. As threats rise and tensions grow, Julianna must decide: will she fight for her freedom and this unconventional love, or will her past drag her back into the darkness?
