Janelle isn't searching for love-she's searching for survival. Growing up between Miami grit and New York ambition, she knows the rules of the game: never trust too easily, never get too comfortable, and never let your guard down for a man. But then there's Malik. Dangerous, magnetic, and carved straight out of every bad decision a girl swears she'll never make twice. One night is all it takes-one dinner, one kiss, one glance that lingers too long-for her carefully built walls to start crumbling. And Malik? He's hooked from the moment she walks into his world, leaving him restless, addicted, and craving more. As their worlds collide-his empire built on shadows, hers balanced between loyalty and survival-Nelle is pulled deeper into a love she doesn't know if she can trust. Between late-night texts, roses at her door, and secrets she refuses to force him to confess, a spark ignites into something dangerous... something consuming. But in a city where every glance could be a warning and every touch could cost everything, can passion survive the truth? Or will desire become the most dangerous trap of all? A story of heat, hustle, and heartbreak-where the line between power and vulnerability blurs, and love feels as intoxicating as the city itself.

Jade Coleman is a woman who has learned to survive in the toughest of circumstances. A single mother to a vibrant four-year-old, she balances her life as a high-end stripper with a real estate hustle that keeps her financially secure. Despite her success, Jade's heart is guarded-shaped by the tragic loss of her child's father in a car accident, and the daily struggle to keep her daughter safe and secure. She never expects love to find her again, especially not in the form of Ezra Saint, a powerful, old-school kingpin whose world is built on power and secrets. Ezra is a man who has it all-money, control, and the fear of those around him-but there's a hollowness he can't escape. He's tired of the game, but stepping away isn't so easy. When he meets Jade, an unexpected spark ignites between them. But as they navigate the complexities of their worlds, Jade must decide if love is worth the risk, and if letting Ezra in could destroy the fragile life she's built for herself and her daughter. In this slow-burn romance, both will face their emotional struggles, question their choices, and confront what they're willing to sacrifice for a chance at real love. The price of love is steep, but it might be the only thing that can heal their broken hearts.
