Chelley and Van. Van and Chelley. Two strangers who were never meant to cross paths-until fate had other plans. From the moment they meet, walking away is no longer an option. Van is a man of few words and many secrets. Known in the streets, but never truly known. He rides his bike, stacks his money, and protects his family at all costs. His life is locked down, his heart even more so. Chelley is beauty with purpose. Smart, driven, and unapologetically focused, her only goal is medical school, money, and a life far from the struggle she came from. Love was never part of the plan. Until her. Until him. What sparks between them is fast, deep, and dangerous-the kind of connection that feels inevitable and destructive all at once. Together, they could be everything they never knew they were missing... or the reason everything falls apart. ⸻
