Ensleey is bold, confident, and used to being underestimated. She makes every entrance count and thrives in the spotlight of her junior year at PVAMU. Malik is calm, controlled, and carries a weight few ever see.. campus basketball star, senior, and untouchable to most. When their worlds collide, sparks fly. From unexpected encounters in the dorm to late night study sessions and quiet, stolen moments, they discover that despite pride, pressure, and past scars, love can grow where they least expect it. Love. Legacy. And the choices that define them both.

Some wars don't end when the uniform comes off. Naomi Amira Smith is a trauma therapist who believes in structure, boundaries, and healing the right way. She's spent her life helping others face their pain-never letting her own heart get too involved. Kyzier Saint Bennett is fresh out of the military and drowning in the aftermath. PTSD, survivor's guilt, and sleepless nights follow him everywhere. He doesn't believe in therapy, peace, or love-until Naomi becomes the one place his mind feels quiet. What starts as professional turns dangerous when feelings blur, lines shake, and two broken souls find comfort in each other. But healing isn't linear, and love doesn't erase trauma. Sometimes the hardest battle... is letting yourself be loved.
