Jeremiah has built his life on discipline and routine-long hours at the garage, loyalty to the one friend who never left, and a careful distance from anything that could disrupt his peace. In his world, survival means staying grounded... and staying uninvolved. Until one encounter changes everything. Treyvon doesn't just operate in the shadows-he owns them. A man of power and precision, he's built an empire while raising his son with unwavering devotion. Control is his greatest strength... until it begins to slip. Because of a stranger. An interest. A pull. Something neither of them can quite walk away from.
