Between late shifts at Starbucks and deadlines that never wait, she keeps her life simple-and safe. Devonte is anything but. Quiet. Feared. Untouchable. A man built by Chicago streets and rules she doesn't understand. Their worlds collide on a rainy night, and what starts as a harmless ride home turns into something neither of them planned. Because Devonte doesn't chase. He claims. And once he decides Nadika is his... walking away is no longer an option.
