Janeisha "Neisha" Bambi has always survived by staying small. Head low. Mouth shut. No waves, no risks, no getting caught up in the kind of business that comes with bodies, secrets, and street names that echo. But all it takes is one night-one favor for her best friend-to slide her straight into the orbit of Seven "Saint" Carter. Saint is discipline wrapped in quiet menace. A man the streets don't just respect-they fear. The type Neisha promised herself she'd never look at twice. He doesn't chase. He doesn't beg. He doesn't explain. Yet somehow... he does all of this for her. And when that calm, unreadable gaze settles on Neisha, her careful world starts to crack. Now Saint's patience is running out. Neisha's defenses are falling apart. And the pull between them is starting to feel less like a choice and more like fate. He's trying to shield her from the life he lives. She's trying to decide if loving him is salvation... or self-destruction. Because in a world built on loyalty, violence, and revenge; love is the most dangerous thing you can touch.

"Only the strong survive, this ain't for the weak." After an eight year prison sentence, Justice Bennett is finally home. Even though he's thankful to be out, he's still trying to figure out how to navigate the world and focus on finding his purpose in life. Unfortunately, things aren't that simple and life begins to throw curve balls his way. Will he crack under pressure or will he be able to stay ten toes down and use his strength to push through?

Everyone knew who he was and they all feared him. Except her. He had finally met his match in more ways that one.

"You really think I'm out here giving this dick to anybody else, beautiful?" She swallowed, watching my hands go to my zipper. I smirked, leaning down, dragging my fingers up her thigh, over her soaked panties. "Look at yourself in the mirror, Jade."

"Guys like you don't go for girls like me..." "Good thing I'm not like most guys then, huh?"
