But when everything he's ever wanted is finally within reach, will My'Kell let himself be loved... or push his chance at peace away?

Leah thought she had outgrown the chapter of her life tied to two men she once loved and the streets they belonged to. Back then, trust unraveled quickly. When Leah became convinced Qez had been unfaithful and watched Keith choose loyalty to his friend over her, she made the only choice that felt safe and walked away.

Keith is newly back in town, calmer, smarter, and hiding truths that never had the chance to come out before. Old wounds resurface. Unspoken desires ignite. And the lines between past and present blur when Leah realizes the story she ran from may not be the truth she believed. Some loves don't fade. Some bonds were never meant to be broken.
