He gave her the world - then made her pay for it with her peace. Zariah Monroe came to Atlanta for a fresh start. New city. New salon. No love. After losing too much back in New York, all she wanted was quiet - just her, her little brother Dre, and her dream business, The Crown Room. But peace don't last long when your heart beats for chaos. Messiah Carter - or Mace Tha Don to the world - walked into her life with that New Orleans drawl, diamond chains, and the kind of energy that made every woman stare. He wasn't just a rapper; he was a storm. Passionate, jealous, and possessive - the type of man who'd buy you a car just to control where you go. What started as love turned into a power struggle - two souls too prideful to let go, too attached to walk away. Between Kendra's messy games, Mace's fame, and Zee's buried pain, their love became a battlefield where both kept losing pieces of themselves. And when betrayal, a secret pregnancy, and public humiliation push Zee past her breaking point, she learns that love might be free - but healing will cost everything.
