Halo Watters didn't know anything about the streets. He knew the stories people told in church. The prayer requests whispered after service. The names mentioned when someone asked the congregation to pray for a family that lost a son. But Halo had never stood in a room where guns were part of a conversation. Never watched men settle problems with fear instead of words. His world had always been built around faith, patience, and the belief that people could change if they wanted to. He believed in forgiveness. In grace...In second chances. Princess Midnight didn't know anything about that world. Not the way Halo did. Church to her was something people went to when they wanted to feel better about things they had already decided to do. Faith sounded nice in theory, but in the world she grew up in, survival mattered more than sermons. Kingston Midnight didn't raise her to believe someone else would save her. He raised her to protect herself. To control situations before they got out of hand. To make decisions quickly. To never show hesitation in a room full of men waiting for a sign of weakness. Halo believed people deserved mercy. Princess believed mercy could get you killed.

Asianna has always had it all. Money, beauty, brains, and a sharp tongue that cuts deeper than any blade. But having everything handed to her comes with strings she's ready to cut. She vanishes from her family's and sets out to find something real. Enter Ryan cold, cunning, and the iron-fisted queen of the underground. She runs the mafia with ruthless precision and doesn't believe in asking twice. When she wants something, she takes it. And right now, what she wants is Asianna...whether she knows it or not.
