At twenty-two, Solai Washington is carrying more than just the weight of her unborn child-she's carrying the burden of survival. Fleeing a violent past with her abusive boyfriend Jordan Smith, she leaves everything behind in the dead of night: her phone, her belongings, even her safety net. With nothing but $2,000 in cash and the desperate hope of a fresh start, she takes a bus headed to Texas. Haunted by a childhood of loss-her mother's death and her father's life sentence-Solai is determined to break the cycle and protect her child at all costs. But survival isn't simple when the past has claws, and Jordan isn't a man who lets go easily. When a twist of fate reunites her with Messiah "Khaos" Luviano, her high school crush turned feared Texas drug lord, Solai finds herself caught between danger and safety, fear and desire. Messiah is ruthless to the world, but around Solai, his walls begin to crack. She's the only one who dares to look him in the eye, the only one unafraid of his reputation. As Jordan hunts her down and Messiah's enemies close in, Solai must decide if trusting the most dangerous man she knows could be the only way to save herself-and the baby she's willing to risk everything for.

"You got hotter?. How long have I been away?" Jax drapped an arm over my shoulder. I smiled, but my gaze met with Ludwig's again, his eyes narrowed in a possessive way I knew too well. Well if he's dancing with another girl, then I'm going to dance with Jax. Ludwig wasn't the only one watching. I could feel the quiet hum of people's gazes glued to me. I ignored them all. The only person I couldn't ignore was Jax. His gaze was different. Not possessive like Ludwigs', but something deeper. "Let's dance." I nodded in agreement. I was lost in Jax's scent, the musk of his cologne. His arms were around me, hugging me close in a way that felt... like home. Our bodies moving in perfect sync. One moment, Jax's warmth was mine, and the next-someone violently yanked us apart. My body jolted as I was pulled back, and before I could react, I felt a strong hand on my wrist, dragging me away from Jax. What the hell?. Of course it was Ludwig!. *** She had plans.
