She had everything-money, luxury, and a life of privilege. Growing up in the penthouses and mansions of Beverly Hills, Aaliyah knew nothing of struggle, only designer bags and first-class flights. But when a family scandal leaves her with nothing, she's forced to move to the rough streets of the DMV, a world far from the one she once lived. Enter Amari-a street-smart hustler with dreams bigger than the block he's trapped in. He's the type her parents warned her about, the kind of man she never thought she'd give a second glance. But Amari isn't just a thug; he's a survivor, a protector, and the only person who sees beyond her last name and broken pride. What starts as an unexpected friendship turns into passion and love that neither of them can resist. But love in the trenches isn't easy-loyalty is tested, danger lurks around every corner, and Aaliyah must decide if she's willing to risk it all for a man the world sees as nothing more than a lost cause. Because sometimes, love doesn't follow the rules. And sometimes, the wrong one... is exactly who you need.
