Khadijah Skye, a 20-year-old Atlanta native and rising "it girl," is navigating college life at Clark Atlanta University alongside her best friend, Mya. With dreams of becoming a medical diagnostic sonographer, Khadijah appears to have her life together. But beneath her picture-perfect exterior lies a complicated connection to Dave East, Mya's older brother-a charismatic, street-smart rapper and drug dealer whose dangerous lifestyle threatens to pull her into his world. Their love story is anything but simple. With their families deeply intertwined through a cartel alliance and a history of loyalty and secrets, Khadijah finds herself caught between her desire for independence and the undeniable pull she feels toward Dave. As their connection grows, so does the chaos surrounding their lives. From luxurious trips to Turks and Caicos to tense confrontations at barbecues, Khadijah and Dave navigate their magnetic, forbidden love while dealing with betrayal, rivalry gangs in Atlanta, and the weight of their family legacies. With tension simmering, trust shattered, and emotions running high, Khadijah and Dave must decide if love is enough to overcome their differences-or if their worlds are just too far apart. This slow-burning romance is full of drama, danger, and passion, with twists that challenge the boundaries of loyalty, love, and self-preservation.

There's a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.

"My own grandparents couldn't do it for me and I loved them more than anything. You the one for me ma. That's why I ain't told you everything yet 'cause I don't wanna run you away. I need you."

She smiled as she gazed into his red eyes, and he chuckled, nodding in agreement. "I ain't King Von wit' you. Just love." He kissed her cheek next, and her smile grew as her arms tightened around him for a warm hug.

Psalms 23:4| The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. ******************************* Enoch and Justyn navigate the complexities of trauma.
