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.

Never in my life had I ever been in a relationship. Yep, you heard that right. Never have I ever had a girlfriend. I've always lived my life in the fast lane-like I'm some rockstar-but without the drugs. My drug of choice-is women. And man, do I love them. So much so that I became a plastic surgeon wanting to make women feel better about themselves, giving them whatever they want, even going above and beyond by using my magic to make them look like their idols. I enjoyed living a single life for years, never wanting to settle down. I enjoyed taking part in threesomes, one-night stands, and living dangerously by having spur-of-the-moment sex in public places with no care in the world who was around me. And I was enjoying it all until my eighty-year-old grandmother got on my case-telling me she wanted to see me married and with kids before she wasn't around anymore. So, not wanting to upset the one woman I looked up to, who I did everything for, I made her a promise-a promise to do just that. But I wasn't so sure I could because that meant giving up everything I enjoyed and loved. Then, my life changed when a woman from my past walked into my office, looking to have her scars disappear-forever. The same one who broke my heart, turning me into the man I am today. And she's even more beautiful than in high school-even with the scars she hates. And I still want her just as badly as I did when we were kids-maybe even more than ever before. The question is, will I ever be good enough for her?
