Every time Isaiah looked at himself in the mirror, he was constantly reminded of the most traumatic moment of his life. He grew to hate himself until Namiko randomly waltzed into his life one day and began teaching him how to love himself again. It was as if she was his second chance. He'd been so pissed off all night to the point where he was physically shaking like a ticking bomb. This one hug from her felt like the rainbow after a severe thunderstorm. He couldn't believe that his sanity really depended on her. He'd never reached this point of love before. She brought him so much peace. That's why he loved her the way that he did; the reason why he couldn't stand to spend a single second away from her and why he depended on her to keep him sane. She was just it; like a breath of fresh air. He never expected the woman that ended up stealing his heart would be a real life Disney Princess wandering cluelessly around New York City; an autistic one, at that.

The sight of his blood on her scares her more than anything. Although this isn't the first time she's gotten someone else's blood on her, it still terrifies her. No matter how hood she, the sight of blood alone puts fear in her.

first book!

In a hood where loyalty is rare and betrayal comes easy, two young souls cross paths with nothing but pain in their past and secrets in their future. After losing her mother, she grows up surrounded by street drama, broken friendships, and family struggles that harden her heart. He grows up knowing loss too, learning early that the streets don't love nobody. When their worlds collide, their bond feels different-real in a place where nothing ever is. But in the hood, love always comes with consequences. As tensions rise, friendships fall apart, and dark secrets surface, their connection is tested by forces bigger than both of them. In a world where silence hides truths and the streets never forget, one thing is clear... Some bonds are deeper than blood. And some stories are never what they seem.
